From the "recount" days

Remember when Trump said he didn’t let his enemies know what he was doing??? He isn’t!!!
Yes I do, and he sure isn’t.
They are. There is a very good chance that Trump will win. If he does win they know their corrupt gravy train in Washington will come to a stop.
it was a trap question, if he said he would accept the results it would have been a green light to Hillary’s minions to commit mass voter fraud and dirty tricks, as it is they have to realize what they do is subject to scrutiny...and if they fail they will likely go to jail...
Trump is giving a warning to those inclined not to try their crap as they will be the ones going to jail and if illegal deported.
He can afford to sue them in civil court. I love him for his enemies.
I don’t understand the liberal reaction to this. I really don’t.
When Al Gore challenged election results in 2000, the liberals were all in favor of that. The liberals filed numerous lawsuits, which got consolidated into challenges which were settled by the Supreme Court.
In 2008, Al Franken and his boys challenged the Senate election results in Minnesota. Al lost on election night by about 700 votes, but numerous recounts and a court challenge which reached the Minnesota Supreme Court, gave Al the election.
So let’s get this straight. Liberals are aghast that a Republican might challenge election results from a disputed election. But the liberals have freely done so themselves in recent years.
Where Reagan had Sam Donaldson to act like a bitter little child every day during his administration, Trump will have 50 reporters acting like him.
Obama never gets the tough question.
That’s all Trump will get. And then they’ll spar with him when he answers.
I’d start scratching off press passes for anyone who acted rudely. “Send over another one. Your organization gets one more chance. There will be civility or your organization is out for a year.”
I was quite surprised when Trump didn’t come back around with something like “Was it horrifying when Al Gore challenged the election in Florida?” or at least address that event in some manner.
Challenging an election isn’t horrifying. Election Fraud is. There are legal previsions for challenging an election for that reason as well as honest errors.
What’s TRULY horrifying is a Hillary Clinton presidency. She want’s to cripple the investor class. THAT is horrifying!!

We have this one last shot at keeping our country using the ballot box thanks to Donald Trump.
Vote as if your life depends on it, because it does.
Coaxey’s Army sounds good
Key sentence. It has been thus ever since Trump started to ascend.
If Trump wins, I can almost guarantee you that what we’ve come to know as White House press briefings will come to an end. Instead, Trump will have an unscripted appearance before the press that will come across as an audition for “Saturday Night Live” — and any news organization who he feels was part of the effort to rig this election won’t even be invited. The networks he identified by pointing them out at the Al Smith Dinner in NYC last night will be the first ones on the “dis-invited” list.
I think Trump may have reached the point that many gun owners have reached with their opposition...reasoned debate has not worked, so "Screw You" will be my only argument.
“I was quite surprised when Trump didn’t come back around with something like “Was it horrifying when Al Gore challenged the election in Florida?”
Or maybe, “Why would I NOT challenge an obviously fraudulent election?!?”

Talking down our democracy?
We’re supposed to be a representative republic, but nobody is representing us.
Yeah sure it was, but did you vote for the Republican Nominee in the 2008 election, or did you sit the election out because you did not like the nominee?
He doesn’t seem to be bothered by the press overall.
He talks to them all the time. He stands his ground, and that’s fine.
I don’t expect the press to always agree, and they should ask follow-up questions, but you can do that in a reasoned way too.
As long as they comport themselves decently in person, and write truth in for their publications, I wouldn’t have a problem. Where one or both of those measures break down, I’d have a big problem.
I’d warn them and then cut them off.
He needs to have press conferences, and explain his programs.
He’ll do it.
