GWB committed the same sin by defeating Al Gore.
Gore, too, refused to accept the results of the election, first by cherry-picking blue districts in Florida for recount, and then hiring David Boies to challenge the results in Florida state courts.
As punishment, Bush was subjected to his version of the Mueller Report, the Texas Air National Guard memo falsified by allies of Dan Rather, and timed to be released in coordination with John Kerry's "Operation: Fortunate Son" campaign in 2004.

The big difference between Bush and Trump is that Trump is a total outsider. The Presidency is his first elective office. He isn’t controlled by special interests, but Bush was.

Trump has been treated far worse than Bush. Trump was spied on from his campaign thru ten months into his Presidency. He had a Special Counsel investigating him for almost two years. The Dems have been threatening impeachment since the day Trump was elected. The MSM have become the most biased against a President since Nixon
By comparison, Bush was treated with kid gloves and Bush reciprocated by signing McCain-Feingold and supporting amnesty.
It took 9/11 to get Democrats to finally give Bush the rest of his administration.
I'm just saying that Democrats are repeating a pattern when they believe an election was taken from them.

Problem here is the election wasn’t even close Tump WON hands down there were no hanging chads ect.!!! This election wasn’t even close to being taken from them they DON’T LIKE the Electoral College that is to damn bad!,We have had this system for damn near 300 years and it is ridiculous to think that CA. and NY should rule this country!!! These idiots that THINK this election was stolen shows just how really STUPID they are and because of this stupidity they certainly shouldn’t be running this country!!!
People later said that early exit polls don't include people who vote after work, that is, people with jobs, that is, Republicans.

IMO the Dems thought they had the election wired in states like PA and MI and couldn’t believe that Trump beat them. Using projection, they believe Trump won using fraud, i.e., they were out cheated.
It reminds me of the Tea Party, which I was heavily involved in. The Dems could not believe this was a grassroots movement because they are only familiar with rent a mob and astroturfing.
Democrats call that partisanship......
Even on issues they would have supported. Remember their opposition, as the party of the American workers, to those free trade deals that shipped jobs out of the country. Now that President Trump is renegotiating those deals to give Americans a fair break, they are siding with the free traders.
They say they’re for the American worker by constantly wanting to raise minimum wage and enforce discrimination laws. But then they just give away American jobs to foreign workers or illegal aliens. Nobody is the wiser, however, because the news media says nothing about it, and liberals don’t mind being lied to, as long as it’s their side doing the lying.
Does the article ever get around to mentioning Bush like the title says?
He beat Hillary?
If I were going to guess what his point was, I'd guess that he's saying Bush was divisive, too.
And sure, every president is divisive.
At least since Eisenhower and Kennedy (with Kennedy benefiting from Ike's popularity and the public's respect for him).
