Hillary Clinton still wants to challenge election results
The New York Post ^ | September 18, 2017 | Mark Moore

Hillary Clinton just can’t face the fact that Donald Trump’s in the White House and she’s not.

Ten months after her stunning defeat​ in the 2016 presidential race, the Democratic nominee would not rule out challenging the results if investigators turn up solid proof of Russian meddling in the election.

But when asked how she could do that, Clinton was stumped.

“I don’t know if there’s any legal constitutional way to do that. I think you can raise questions,” she told National Public Radio.

Clinton said if she had been elected president and the US intelligence community told her of Russia’s involvement, “I would’ve never stood for it.”

“Even though it might’ve advantaged me, I would’ve said, ‘We’ve got to get to the bottom of this.’ I would’ve set up an independent commission with subpoena power and everything else,” she said in the interview published online Monday.

But later she admitted that there’s no real “mechanism” to dispute the election results.

“Basically I don’t believe there [is a way]. … But people are making those arguments. I just don’t think we have a mechanism,” she said.....

I think a recount is more likely

How would they put Hillary in Trump’s place? Some kind of French Revolution? Pence will take Trump’s place should anything happen.

Thanks! As I said “how hard can it be”?

Hound her everywhere she goes with all or some of those comments. Ridicule her back to her wine bottles and G&T’s until she has another public breakdown.

Hillary is trying hard to stay relevant and rally the Democrats to her banner. Hillary needs to present
herself as a still potent & powerful political force so she can continue sell her only asset-access. If people figure out that she has exceeded her shelf life then the play for pay scam is over.

Maybe Comey can determine that neither Trump or the Russians intended to influence the election. Wait. Trump had intentions to win, right? Then maybe the Russians had no intent to influence the elections - even if they did - or tried. Wait. Maybe Hillary intended that the Russians were to influence the election after allowing Putin’s companies to acquire US 20% of all US uranium, and/or a little sumpthin-sumpthin for having Bubba lecture Putin’s bankers for money.

Okay. Let’s start with New Hampshire, then move on to Detroit, and finish up with California.

This is great. Algor also thinks he was elected. I think she and he ought to run together in 2020.

Clinton/Gore or Gore/Clinton?

They arrest Trump and Pence and Hillary walks into the whitehouse and takes over. Judges, Pols, and people don’t even pretend they’re following the law these days. Why would you expect them to respect the chain of command?

Not to excuse her but I think that is more Soros than her. She looks to me like someone who would be a penny pincher.

Soros is just the middle man for people like Hillary. She pays him and he’s name get attached to the rioters in the streets. Don’t get me wrong, Soros is scum but it’s people with like Hillary that supply the money and call the shots

There are a lot of federal troops within half a days ride of Washington, not to mention millions of armed Trump supporters. The lesson of the French Revolution, the Iron Curtain and other such situations is that enough armed civilians trumps any security you might have. 100,000 people with weapons would sweep away the Secret Service, the DC and Capitol police and any military on hand.

These statements on her part are meant to keep her out of the grand jury indictment zone. Any prosecution will now be called political retribution for her disclosing Russian meddling. Whatever that is?

Here's a summary of what we're facing with this deranged banshee -- in a nutshell ...

She's doing all this because she has nothing else to do.

Think about it ... the 2016 election was more than ten months ago, and she still hasn't gotten over it. Any normal person would have gotten over it and gone on with his life. She can't do that because she has no life of any consequence.

This shallow, empty mediocrity has reached the age of 70 and has nothing of substance to show for it, and no skills or talents of any consequence. She has spent her whole life in a political world, but she doesn't even have the political skills to succeed in anything other than a rigged election. The only thing she ever had to do was stay married to that buffoon with a personality disorder and a disco haircut, and that stunted relationship left her completely unprepared for anything that required even a modicum of effort on her part.

For all his flaws, Donald Trump's list of accomplishments reads like something you'd expect from 5-6 different people ... real estate developer, TV producer, major event promoter, owner of a professional football team, clothing/licensing brand, etc. If he had lost on Election Day in 2016, I'm sure he would have been back at work in his New York City office early the next morning. He won the election because he was seen as a refreshing alternative to the craven, pathological ambition of all the @ssholes like the Clintons who run for public office.
