Democrats assured us 1. there is no voter fraud and 2. you MUST accept the outcome of the election. So what happened? Oh yeah, they got their asses handed to them. Those rules apply only if they win

"Just give me the phone,” she said in frustration. “I’m calling him.”

No quite the 3 AM phone call Hillary had in mind.

So, what is Hillary’s responsibility to end this rainmaker effort to produce one more political show?

If true that Obama is against this charade, it likely goes nowhere.

The concession is not legally binding.

Trump should threaten him with what I believe would be legitimate treason charges if he doesn’t stay quiet.

Disagree. Trump should be silent. The case should just come as Trump is oblivious to the process. He needs to be as far away from perceived retribution as possible.

Is this Fake News, planted to cover for what Soros and his agents are doing?

If there is cheating, it wouldn’t matter. Recounting votes won’t fix the cheating. What will fix the cheating is purging voter rolls and implementing voter ID. Election is over. Trump won, now the electors need to fulfill the will of the people.

This is not being done because it will change the results. It’s being done to further the claim that Trump is not legitimate.

Here's the thing. In his mind, he was the greatest politician of our age. He set the table for Hillary. But she didn't do the leg work. She probably didn't listen to his advice either. I mean she was talking about going to Texas and Arizona when, maybe she should have went to Wisconsin. Sure he wants a legacy. But he ain't going nowhere and the Doris K. Goodwins of the world will carry his water like a Kalarhari bushman. It was all laid out for her, but, alas, she wasn't Barack Hussein Obama.

"So basically they are using Jill Stein to do the dirty work...and they are paying for it...disgusting no matter how you look at it..."

No doubt about that.. They can't have Hillary appearing as though she CANNOT ACCEPT THE ELECTION RESULTS, can they?

Most likely BS. Why would he do that? What advantage? None.

I can't take credit for this idea, as someone else posted it a couple of days ago. But, I think that Hillary was in no shape to concede.

There have been unconfirmed reports that she was drunk and belligerent, after leaving her expected coronation. Podesta went back to the "wake", telling people there would be no concession speech, the votes were still being counted, and to go home.

While he was doing that, Hillary allegedly called Trump and offered her congratulations/concession. But, as you may remember, in Trump's first appearance after that, he apologized for the delay, and said something like "complicated business".

Here's the thing: did Hillary actually make that call? Or was it someone with a rational mind -- like Bill, himself? Perhaps Trump was simply told: "Hillary will officially concede tomorrow, but she won't do so tonight." If Trump pressed for an explanation, he was probably told: "she's unavailable".

The real vote hasn’t occurred yet.

“The meeting of the electors takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December after the presidential election.”

IIRC, Gore conceded then un-conceded.

The libtards spent so much time telling us that hacking and vote fraud could not be problems and that Trump was evil for even hinting at possible challenges to election results. Now that the situation is the opposite of what they expected, suddenly the Democraps have no problem switching on a dime and ranting about hacking and fraud.

Damn these lying hypocrites.

Has the mutilated body of Robby Mook ever been found?
