The reality:

This little vanity is very close to exactly how I feel about this election and its results.
I find myself pondering about those Republicans-who-are-Democrats in Congress and who they will support when they get to put their two cents in and cast their ballots.
If they want the USA to become a member of the EU but called the United Globalist Party, a jihadist nation of rape and murder and massive killings as is occurring in Europe, then I know how they will vote.
And I know what I will do.
We dodged a bullet indeed. But if anyone thinks these people are going to gracefully accept, well, I’ve got a nice bridge or sale.

Whittle is wrong here. Surprising to see him so off on this as he’s usually spot on about most other things.
> “Well, the recount will not change the RESULTS of the election, but it could change HOW Donald Trump gets elected. It’s a longshot, but If the recount ties up the electoral votes of these three states when the electoral college meets in mid-December, then neither Trump nor Clinton will have the necessary 270 electoral votes needed to become President.”
The Constitution is clear that it is the ***majority of Electoral votes cast***, not necessarily 270. If all states and the District of Columbia cast their electoral votes, then the majority threshold is 270.
If MI, WI, PA are all tied up in Stein/Clinton shenanigans, then their electoral votes are deleted from the total and there is another majority threshold to reach. The good news is Trump crosses this other majority threshold (do the arithmetic).
The only way Clinton can get to the White House is to flip two of the states and stop the remaining one from casting its electoral votes or flip all three of the states. It’s not going to happen, at least not legally.
> “Under such a scenario, the decision would fall on the Republican-majority House of Representatives, who would immediately vote to elect Donald Trump.”
Not quite. If Electors from a state cast two ***sets of votes that are conflicting*** (as has happened in history and is why there exists a constitutional amendment provision), then if that state’s electoral votes matter to the outcome of the election, then the House votes but only 1 vote per delegation.
I recommend watching it. I am a huge admirer of Bill Whittle, and have donated to him. I think he is a preeminent conservative spokesman today, and his style, content, and delivery is superb.
The Clintons are a bottomless pit of depravity.
The reality:
Nice!
“Clinton seems to think that she can throw in the towel, stop the fight, retire to her corner, sit on the stool, stop the bleeding”
I guess she has another thought coming
If we only realized how desperate and panic stricken she is at the thought of the vengeance that may be wreaked upon her once Trump has well and truly won and all her shenannigans and recounts have failed. Will all her mega-donors give her a pass? Will the incoming DOJ?
Trump could carry all 50 states with 90% of the total vote in each one, and the Left still wouldn’t accept him as president.
That’s just a reality.
“Will the incoming DOJ?”
I want the hag, her rapist husband and the baby grifter put in irons. I want their belongings seized by the government as ill gotten gains.
Hillary might be thinking that, if SHE can’t have the Presidency, at least she can deny it to Trump.
This is the plan:
1) Use the recounts to delay the vote being certified in WI, MI, and PA by the Dec 19 deadline, to reduce Trump’s margin.
2) Have “faithless” #NeverTrump electors vote for some “moderate”, like Kasich, so that nobody gets 270, and the election gets thrown to the House.
3) The House gets to pick from the top THREE electoral vote getters. The Dems join with the RINOs to vote for Kasich.
4) Kasich becomes president.
5) The Establishment tries to ride out the storm.
Clinton, and Obama so co-opted the DNC into their personal orbit that it is only the face of the party we see or hear. The party itself in the case of Hillary required replacing the chairman (several times leading to Brazil), and subjecting the national party to the Candidate herself. Thus it is troubling so see there is no DNC involvement but rather the failed candidate still holding the reins of power for democrats.
Thanks for posting. I love to listen to his commentaries. He’s too “tell it like it is” for the major TV news channels, but he’s so articulate, seems he should have a radio show, IMO.
Incorrect. See 12th Amendment:
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;—The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;—The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.Each elector gets to vote for President and VP, but there is no requirement that all the electors of a state vote for the same person.
There it is - 1000 words worth...
“put in irons”
Seeing them do the “perp walk” in their chains would be the cherry on top of that sundae.
Yes...that’s the bottom line.
