I suppose it’s easier for Dems to try to point a finger at Trump over something-anything-nothing, rather than explaining to America why the Dem party actively conspired to rig their very own primary....

Smokescreens, strawmen and deception have always been the trademark of “Progressives”.

Take out all votes, all, from Cook County, IL and Los Angeles County, CA, and Donald Trump wins the popular vote.

The democrats are declaring that of more than 3000 counties in the USA, just two counties with large numbers of illegals decide who is to be President of the USA.

I should go to the Secretary of State’s office for California and study up on that. In this instance we dodged the bullet due to the Electoral College, but I know what you mean.

I’m sure a study of Los Angeles County would turn my stomach.

Appreciate the mention of this.

The reality of the popular vote this past November 8 was “VOTER FRAUD.” Until the voter fraud is investigated, exposed, and prosecuted, the RATs will continue ranting about the Hitlery popular votes which are bogus. The Liberal governor of CA allowed “illegals” to vote via driver’s licenses. The fraud in New York and California gave Hitlery her numbers. Voter fraud was found in Nevada with 9,400 illegal votes in “one county” alone. There was voter fraud in Detroit and elsewhere. When you take the RAT voter fraud out, how many other states would Trump have taken in the electoral college?

To shut up the MSM and Liberal morons, the number of votes that were fraudulent needs to be exposed!

That’s an odd article. It reads well until the last two paragraphs where it gets into a tailspin and finally just crashes into a heap of incomprehensible closing.

We need this Mason Weaver to speak out for Conservatives if this interview is any indication of his real political views.

He’s for real.

David Horowitz and others who have come out of the Left seem to read that group better than anyone else.

I agree with your take on it, and the issues he touched on were really powerful.

I’ve stored this away for future reference.

I’m going to go back and study up on his commentary here, because he touched on things that many others don’t.

David Horowitz is always good to read too.
I’m going to look into Mason Weaver more.

“I have yet to see one article that did not refer to Lewis as an icon.”

Frankly, I am from the civil rights era, and I was relatively active in the civil rights activities on campus, and I had never heard of John Lewis. King, Bond, Marshall, Randolph, even a minor newcomer like Jackson, yes; but Lewis? Never.

Very true. President Elect Trump will need to look directly to the people who vot d for him, because the cultural marxist left & their media are at war with all of us.

This article while seemingly criticizing the democrats for delegitimizing is in reality if you read it, is blaming the President elect by saying the attacks were brought on

by his actions and speeches during the campaign.

These two writers are saying that The President elect should not be dumb fall for the bait but handle the likes of the great Icon of civil rights John Lewis as George Bush did when he did the same thing to him by refusing to recognize him and even tried to start an impeachment against him by giving Lewis a special honor and saying great things about him.

Well ,Bush rolled over and turned the other cheek, like the spineless republicans have been doing for years and what do you get?. More of the same here's Lewis doing the same thing with this elected by the real people President.

they also say that you can't just treat the great Meryl Streep as just another ordinary liberal.

"That’s not merely another Hollywood liberal taking a potshot at a Republican. Streep is a prominent Democratic activist who spoke at the party’s Philadelphia nominating convention on behalf of Hillary Clinton."

You need to read the whole article.

If these two writers are supposed to be writing a conservative article and are supposed to be conservatives they both need to take a real good cleansing product.

No Clinton received a majority of the popular vote.

Not outside of California.

She got 4 million more votes than Trump in California. She only led nationwide by around 2.86 million.

Lewis was hardly the only prominent Democrat who had trouble accepting the new president after the 2000 election was finally decided.

But they have no problem expecting us to accept the election with the roles are reversed.

What hypocrites.

When people here in MA tell me their vote doesn’t count I tell them, don’t feel bad, you could live in CA.

Welcome to my world here in the people's republic of NY.

Now they know how it feels.

Cry me a river.

I voted for Trump anyway, as a way of expressing contempt for my fellow MAssholes.
