liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said the election was "illegitimate."
"So this was a tainted election," he said in an op-ed this week. "It was not, as far as we can tell, stolen in the sense that votes were counted wrong, and the result won't be overturned. But the result was nonetheless illegitimate

Last weekend on CBS's "Face the Nation," liberal Slate writer Jamelle Bouie also said the hacking had cast a shadow on Trump's win, rendering it a farce.

Others have argued that when the Electoral College electors convene Monday to secure the results, they should consider rebuking Trump and withhold their vote from him. Liberal Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne said Wednesday that during the transition period, Trump has proven himself unfit for the office, and that the Electoral College should remedy the situation.

LOL love that pic
Hillary Clinton campaign is in violation of the 1963 Federal Presidential Transition Act of 1963 Presidential Transition Act of 1963 by tampering with the electoral college
Sec. 2. The Congress declares it to be the purpose of the Act to promote the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with the expiration of the term of office of a President and the inauguration of a new President. The national interest requires that such transitions in the office of President be accomplished so as to assure continuity in the faithful execution of the laws and in the conduct of the affairs of the Federal Government, both domestic and foreign. Any disruption occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people. Accordingly, it is the intent of the Congress that appropriate actions be authorized and taken to avoid or minimize any disruption. In addition to the specific provisions contained in this Act directed toward that purpose, it is the intent of the Congress that all officers of the Government so conduct the affairs of the Government for which the exercise responsibility and authority as (1) to be mindful of problems occasioned by transitions in the office of President, (2) to take appropriate lawful steps to avoid or minimize disruptions that might be occasioned by the transfer of the executive power, and (3) otherwise to promote orderly transitions in the office of President.

fortunately, most people have completely tuned out the fake stream media.
Zero brazenly spent millions meddling in BiBi’s election, tons of threads on it.
Again with the what they say is fake but they claim it is accurate.
They are all starting to sound like toddlers in a day care.

The drip continues, so explosive revelations could still lie ahead. But if Russia hackers are responsible for the email theft, as the US government charges, than Vladimir Putin might be frustrated with how things are going.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Elections have consequences, Trump won!
I’m enjoying every bit of schadenfreude issuing from the bowels of every single lefty shill and nanny-statist.
I want more crocodile tears and threats to pack up their stuff and leave with stiff bums slammed in American exits.
Where is the outrage? Come on, you slackers, give me more hysteria.
Democrat Party is dying, politically, from self-inflicted wounds!!! Just as their pundits and lock-steppers had nary a clue as to the building massive “Trump” POTUS victory that was coming....they cannot see the forest for the trees!!!

“It was not, as far as we can tell, stolen in the sense that votes were counted wrong,”
Then I guess it wasn’t “illegitimate”.
I think the left and the MSM also know that once Trump gets into office things will start getting done in a way Americans haven’t seen from DC in a long time. This will further sour many people to liberalism when they see a man in the Oval Office who actually gets things done. To be sure there will be peaks and valleys, and there will be times when we think when we say what the hell is this man doing, but on balance Trump will fulfill or at least attempt to fulfill many of his campaign promises to a good many Americans’ satisfaction, and that’s what scares the left.
The MSM with its endless anti Trump and pro Hillary bias has lost its credibility and the trust of most rational people. Since there are so many alternative sources of information and opinion, it is doubtful that it will ever achieve the power and influence it once had. Its a bitter reality for people like Paul Krugman. They don’t matter much anymore. Krugman was once Obama’s prime source of economic policy.Predict he will soon leave the Times (can’t afford his salary) and will nest at some university hopefully in Europe.
Hey Paul - I hear the New York Times is vacating at least eight floors of their building as their profits tumble.
Now you were saying something about illegitimacy?
Pride hurts, they are an extreme example.
The Wikileaks’s emails revealed the criminality of Hillary and the democrats. The Russians may have done a big favor. The source is really irrelevant.
No denials, no apologies, no contrition what so ever concerning the exposed dishonesty and incompetence. Just a whole lot of but hurt and rage at being found out. I do thank God that these people are losing their grip on power.
