But I’m quite certain that he will do some things that make me cringe. But there it is . . .

*********************************************

Newt Gingrich, about the time he was starting to get very intrigued by Trump (he was reading “Art of the Deal”), said during an interview that many people in this country wanted ‘the table turned over and a new game started’, even if meant some chaos would ensue. Well, Trump turned over ‘the table’ big time and it’s obvious from what has happened the last couple of days that a new ‘game’ is in play. Not everything will go the way I want it to, but I’m willing to live with it for all the things that will go ‘right’ ... literally & figuratively. The Trump Train is moving fast .... I’ve been hanging on for dear life during the campaign & I’m not letting go now! :-)

I would bet the Trump campaign staff has data on the voter fraud throughout the country used on November 8th! Open the RAT “can of worms” and expose their voter fraud that has been going on forever!

Anyone know what the know what the makeup of the Michigan SC is?

Sane judges, or Dem moonbats?

I imagine many Electoral College voters are being inundated with either big money bribes, or threats. That’s how desperate every Dem. in the upper echelons who are in danger of jail time are at the moment.

I am more cynical. I believe that Clinton was behind it from the beginning and thy Stein was a front all along.

The law says that only an “aggrieved” party can file for a recount, and Stein is not “aggrieved” by any possible definition of the word. Only a sophist or judicial activist would claim otherwise, which could well happen in Michigan’s courts, so it is not by any means beyond the realm of possibility that a judge will let the recount continue. But eventually, it will get thrown out. Hopefully, that can happen sooner rather than later.

Wikiperia says 5Rs and 2Ds, an easy search.

The Electors have been chosen and the recount can’t change the winner so I hope the courts let it continue.
It’s just a waste of taxpayers’ money by the Democrats for no good reason, which taxpayers will remember.

The Mich legislature is passing laws to require challengers to pay the full cost- and also voter id laws- at this time for future elections.

Well that is good to read. Do feel better having a R court, and legislature. Not to mention AG.
