Thanks for doing the pingout, lucyt!
here’s another thread
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3498483/posts
that needs # 68 and # 74 pinged - to.
Stein is funny; she signaled hard against Hillary, mostly about war with Russia. It seemed at times that she would be no less happy with Trump than Hilary.
Why assume that it is only left-wing (Soros et al) forces at work.
The Never Trump movement (Bill Kristol, National Review, Chamber of Commerce etc.) has not really gone away. Some may appear to have bended the knee, but they would still like to de-legitimize Trump, to slow his agenda, all while moving full-speed with the Ryan agenda.
Remember Trump fought against the entire power structure (finance, media, academia, big donors, neo-cons and the pundit class, the tech industry, the cheap labor lobbies, the Republican establishment, etc.).
All of the above would like to stop or slow any Trump agenda. Many (not all) of the above would be happy with the Ryan agenda of open borders, big trade deals, privatization/trimming of Social Security/Medicare, etc.
Trump’s populist nationalism represents the first (albeit mild) opposition to the current regime of liberal globalism. Opposition to Trump is the kind of thing that could create strange bed fellows.
Even the MSM is wondering about the amount so quickly raised.
Michigan and Pennsylvania.
And THIS is it. The answer to "why".
So then what happens on Dec 13th? Anyone know?
The decision falls to the state legislature which is GOP. WI voters will not be disenfranchised from this election. We
From what I read, Michigan has already done a recount, required because the vote was so close, which is why it took so long to declare a winner. Trump still won. Is there any reason they should be required or could be forced to do another?
If the re-count can't be completed by the deadline or certification specified in the constitution, the state legislature is empowered to assign the state's electoral votes to the candidate of their choice.
Inasmuch as both houses of the legislature in all three states are controlled by Republicans, Trump will not be denied these EV.
You can say "Madame President." Not me.
Horseshit. This is only political theater. The election is over.
It will be granted in all 3 states. It’s a rigged system that they are pissed didn’t work the first time.
The attorney for Hillary Clintons presidential campaign, Marc Elias, here indicates the Clinton campaign will participate in the Wisconsin recount. He says if Jill Stein proceeds in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Clinton campaign will participate in those recounts as well. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.
Its a two-pronged strategy. Peel off some Trump delegates through recounts, and more through intimidation/bribery of other delegates.
It could work if Trump's not paying attention, but I suspect he has people all over this watching over what's happening.
Can you imagine if our side was doing this?
These commie dems....if THEY “win” by one vote it’s fine and dandy, no need to check on the vote count, but if we win by 27,000 here in Wisconsin,,,oh hell yes they’ll cause trouble and “recount” which only means “bring out the trucks full of fraudulent ballots”.
I hate these leftist cheaters.
There had to be 3 million illegal aliens who voted for HildaBeast. Had to be up to a million other fraudulent dem votes.
They cannot believe they didn’t cheat enough to pull old Hilda over the finish line.
It would be wall to wall media coverage, and everyone going completely bonkers over it.
Liberals can always count on conservatives keeping calm and quiet when Dems do this sort of thing... and that could very well be our undoing at some point... especially if they succeed at this fraud.
I remember seeing something somewhere about that: donations clicking up in a very regular pattern at all times, even when US (the expected location of donors) would be asleep.
Do you have a link? I remembered reading but could not find the link again.
I’ve thought that there could be some GOP-e/#NeverTrump hands contributing to Stein’s money pot.
