THE MYTHS DEMOCRATS SWALLOWED THAT COST THEM THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Newsweek ^ | 11/14/2016 | KURT EICHENWALD

Posted on 11/15/2016 5:45:00 PM PST by Beave Meister

On Friday, I almost assaulted a fan of my work. I was in the Philadelphia International Airport, and a man who recognized me from one of my appearances on a television news show approached. He thanked me for the investigative reporting I had done about Donald Trump before the election, expressed his outrage that the Republican nominee had won and then told me quite gruffly, “Get back to work.” Something about his arrogance struck me, so I asked, “Who did you vote for?”

He replied, “Well, Stein, but—” I interrupted him and said, “You’re lucky it’s illegal for me to punch you in the face.” Then, after telling him to have sex with himself—but with a much cruder term—I turned and walked away.

A certain kind of liberal makes me sick. These people traffic in false equivalencies, always pretending that both nominees are the same, justifying their apathy and not voting or preening about their narcissistic purity as they cast their ballot for a person they know cannot win. I have no problem with anyone who voted for Trump, because they wanted a Trump presidency. I have an enormous problem with anyone who voted for Trump or Stein or Johnson—or who didn’t vote at all—and who now expresses horror about the outcome of this election. If you don’t like the consequences of your own actions, shut the hell up.

Kurt doesn't believe the Democratic primary was rigged, wow, very uninformed. I thought the 2nd myth was interesting, if true. But I question how he was able to review the Republican Playbook against Sanders. I pretty sure Sanders would have been completely destroyed by Trump. His ties to Communism would have done him in.

I don’t know about that.

I have a relative who was very much for Bernie. From the get-go. I think he would have been much tougher than Hillary was.

I know my relative supported Hillary after Bernie dropped out, but it wasn’t the same.

Not at all.

This guy is a maniac. Ironically he writes for the publication that anointed the witch before she won.

Typical leftist propaganda.

He doesn’t even mention some of the more obvious things, such as the corruption at the Clinton Foundation covered up by the establishment media, or that the establishment gave Hillary the superdelegates without any popular vote. That, of course, was built into the DNC design.

Dnc did not rig election and bernie would not have won. Protest votes against hillary piss him off if they would have normally voted democrat.

A Vermont socialist would have been fairly easy to dispatch but the campaign would have gen different. Trump was able to capture the spirit of Bernie’s campaign demonstrating the rigged political environment. The only strength Bernie would have brought is a motivated base. I question how much of the middle he could get. We’ll never know for sure though.

Democrats insisted that people fall in line, Democrats were concerned with what people owe them. Unions, women, LGBT, black, hispanics needed to vote with them or the boogie man (Trump) would get them.

One of their slogans: "I'm with her".

It seemed their only interest in people was in their votes, and couldn't even bother to pretend otherwise. Then they were absolutely astounded some people who were members of their designated groups, judged their own self interest differently, and voted for Trump and the Republicans The Democrats felt they were betrayed!

This Newsweek reporter writes in a national magazine that he almost punched a fan in the face because he dared to vote for Stein! The man owed it to the democrats to vote for Hillary!

Trump is different.

Trump listened to people, and had solutions for their problems. He stated: "I'm with you."

It is a big difference, and the Democrats can't see it.

Wikileaks dump showed their plan to cook the polls to give the illusion that the beast was always ahead. They believed the cooked polls they helped to create. They slacked off and got emotionally crushed when reality hit them.

>> Trump listened to people, and had solutions for their problems. He stated: “I’m with you.”

Also, did you notice that in his acceptance speech he said “We won.” Not “I won.” So different from 0vomit. And Hitlery.

Trump reminds me of Jerry Jones (yep I know some of you hate him) whom I’ve had the occasion to meet a couple of times: Even tho’ it might be an act, Jones seemed human when I had interactions with him....Even tho’ a billionaire, I watched him pass his Super Bowl ring around to some of my bar employees to try on and have a pic taken with him. Trump comes across the same way.

Search for Jerry Jones pants down picture. You'll get an assortment of photos that I'm very glad Donald didn't have out there. What is age of consent in Texas?
