Clinton won't rule out questioning legitimacy of election
The Hill ^ | 09/18/17 | Jordan Fabian

Hillary Clinton said she wouldn’t rule out challenging the legitimacy of the 2016 presidential election if Russian interference turned out to be deeper than previously thought.

“No, I wouldn't rule it out,” she said in an interview with NPR published Monday.

The defeated Democratic nominee stressed, however, that she does not believe there is a means to officially challenge the election’s outcome.

Hillary Clinton needs to spend about a year in a sanitarium to get rid of her delusions.

Rule it out, rule it out!! That’s all this POS has been doing since November. But actually I like the idea because it will keep a certain portion of them at Bat Shit Crazy level to where they can’t think or plan any strategy to attack us.

Has President Trump given the DREAMers amnesty? I would think that’d be a big headline on all the news outlets. How did I miss it?

I’d be more worried she’d give the Muslim Brotherhood a few SCOTUS Justices.

“I never rule out any solution to a problem,” responded Secretary Clinton,

Oh, really:

Problem: Our embassy personnel under siege in Benghazi.
Solution: Send help. (RULED OUT by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.)

Why am I not surprised......

Can’t have anything bad reflecting on Hillary to show her hypocrisy.

The first line is a direct quote from the first video.

Good thing we didn’t get Hillary, she would have given the dreamers amnesty.

And sign a great big check for Paris scheme, and uphold Obama EO's, and ...

We get your drift.

“That’s horrifying.” ... “That is not the way our democracy works. It’s been around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections; we’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.” ... “And let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating — he’s talking down our democracy. And I for one am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.” — Hillary Clinton, Final Presidential Debate, October 19, 2016

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump’s comment demonstrated “contempt for the sanctity of our elections. With his ‘wait and see’ position, he disrespects the voice and votes of the American people.”

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called Trump’s comments “horrifying” and demanded that he “immediately reverse course and state that he will accept the results of our free and fair elections.”

The president, campaigning in Miami for Hillary Clinton and Senate candidate Chris Murphy, said that “when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s minds about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy.” ... “Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them,” Obama argued. “Because our democracy depends on people knowing their vote matters.” (October 20, 2016)

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he was alarmed by Donald Trump’s refusal to commit to accepting the election results. “That is a big problem, Biden said during a visit to a Democratic field office in Manchester, N.H. “The American public has to stand up, even Republicans. ... This is a threat to our democratic process...” (October 26, 2016)

“The voters decide who wins and loses, period, end of story, and when a presidential candidate threatens to ignore our voices and reject the outcome of this election he is threatening the very idea of America itself and we cannot stand for that.” - Michelle Obama, October 26, 2016
