Except they would use that to compare him to the slaveholders.
Meanwhile, they would refuse to report things about Robert Creamer, the thug-boss over the infiltration of Trump rallies, because his Democratic Party wife is an Illinois congresscritter who once defended the idea of former KKK clansmen running for office.
The question was nothing more than a set up for another distraction to avoid the real news via the Wikileaks revelations.
The hysteria by the GOPe and MSM does not make sense given that we are three weeks away from the election.
It also makes no sense given all the news about voter fraud, registering dead people to vote, tampering with machines, the Veritas tapes, past controversies like Bush-Gore in Florida, etc.
It is plain common sense to reserve judgement is it not?
At least half the states should have conceded after the 2008 election too. Would have saved us trillions.
Did Chris Wallace ask Pickles the same question? I missed it if he did, and have been annoyed about it ever since.
I’m also still annoyed by the question in one of the Primary debates asking the candidates if they would pledge to support the nominee. Everyone knew it was aimed at Trump. The man has been targeted since Day One.
If politics were actual horse races, Democrats would contest any race where their horse lost by as much as a full length.
The five most famous disputed elections:
1800: The dispute ended in a dual between Burr and Hamilton. There’s a Broadway show about this election.
1824 Andrew Jackson called it “the Corrupt Bargain”
1876 Two sets of electoral votes were received from several states. The election was eventually decided by a 15-man commission 8 to 7 on a strict party-line vote
1960 stolen by the Democrats through election fraud in Illinois, as was later proven in court
2000 decided by the Supreme Court that they should stop the recount in Florida
The modern version of Democrat voter fraud started in 1876 when Democrats got caught trying to steal a single Electoral College vote. Unfortunately weenie Republicans of the day settled the disputed election by taking the White House and ending Reconstruction.
Try 1960 rather than 1860. Despite widespread vote fraud Nixon immediately conceded to JFK.
Nixon earned IOUs from the establishment for conceding graciously. That played a big role in the establishment pushing Nixon in 1968...because it was his turn...they owed him one. The establishment knew Nixon was a crook... but he was their crook ... a big government Republican.
In fact, Nixon did more to create big government than any other president in my lifetime. He did this by making the states dependent on the Federal government for money.
