Liberals Setting the Stage to Claim 2020 Election Results Illegitimate
The Daily Signal ^ | December 11, 2019 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 12/11/2019 3:30:59 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

In the lead-up to the 2016 election, Democrats fretted openly about the possibility that Donald Trump, being a rather poor sport, might refuse to acknowledge an election loss.

To be fair, Trump refused to state that he would accept election results, depending on the circumstances: “I’ll keep you in suspense,” he stated in his Oct. 19, 2016, debate with Hillary Clinton. Clinton, for her part, called his statement “horrifying,” adding that he was harming American democracy.

Trump, of course, won. And Clinton spent the next couple of years suggesting openly that she had been robbed in the election. Democrats blamed Clinton’s election loss on Russian interference, on voter suppression, on anything but Clinton’s campaign performance.

That wasn’t a particular shock: After George W. Bush won the 2000 election, many Democrats continued to maintain that he was an illegitimate president.

And not much changed in the nearly two decades since: In 2018, Democrats insisted that Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams had actually defeated Brian Kemp, despite having lost by approximately 55,000 votes. To this day, Democratic presidential candidates repeat the lie that Kemp stole the election from Abrams.

Now in the run-up to 2020, Democrats are already suggesting that if Trump wins, the election will have been illegitimate.

This time, they’re pointing to Trump’s supposed attempt to gather information from the Ukrainian government on potential 2020 rival Joe Biden in return for release of much-needed military aid. In fact, Democrats state that if Trump is not impeached, the 2020 results will inevitably be deemed improper.

Cool, didn’t they do that in 2016, 2004, and 2000? Let them.

Dumb-O-Crats: they’re either blind and stupid, or they really want to provoke a CW that they think they will win, so that they can then impose socialism upon the rubble.

(And then the foreign tourists can take pictures of the drifts of worthless, hyperinflated American currency lying in the gutters of DC, just like all those worthless bolivar notes lying in the gutters of Caracas.)

PING!

well as a very practical matter, it wouldn’t matter much if HilLIARy or another D failed to acknowledge their election loss in 2020

HilLIARy failed to acknowledge her loss in 2016, but she’s still just backing like a sick old dog OUTSIDE of our White House

personally, I think she would have had a second chance in 2020 if she’d acted civilly towards PDJT ... and had Pelousy not made such an embarrassing spectacle of Congress talking about a baseless “impeachment”

the public does rather like to help losers, and the general idea of giving people a second chance

Ok, then it’s time to institute paper ballots and voter ID.

Democrats only believe in democratic elections when they win them.

Ben’s a bit behind the power curve. Many people have made this point long ago. Better late than never I suppose.

Removing Trump prior to the election is their Plan A.

Plan B is if they can’t remove Trump and he wins, then claim that election is illegitimate because of “Russian Collusion”, “Ukrainian Collusion” or just fill in the blank Collusion.

The only results they accept are ones where they win.

By hook or by crook.

I DON’T trust the dems.

I can only hope that Trump wins by such a landslide that they CAN’T engage the fraud machine.

I hope somebody is looking into electronic voter fraud. As well as ballot harvesting, etc.

I feel this is very important. The 2016 election was a dress rehearsal for the rats. The KY gov election was Act 1.

Hillary's spent years suggesting she was robbed, using Russian interference, voter suppression,
misogyny, racism, sexism, deplorables.... anything she could think of to lay the blame.

Hillary's hand-feeding the electorate tall stories about why she lost....strictly for public consumption.

REALITY CHECK She conducted her campaign, and herself exactly like a candidate who
KNEW from the getgo.........the election was fixed in her favor. Heck, she was a shoo-in.

<><> Obama put the entire US intel apparat at her disposal,

<><> the slavish media was at her beck and call

<><> she herself bragged foreign leaders everywhere were backing her election.

<><> she had campaign money coming out of her ears.

Too bad she never factored in voters' preference.

The rats are openly calling for, supporting and excusing violence now.

It's only going to get worse.

Be prepared.

Oh, I do so wish we get treated to more videos of so-called “progressives” wailing in despair to the uncaring sky, running for safe spaces with canceled classes and shedding great tears of inconsolable misery.

Democraps got a tried-and-true methodology to win states using modern-day slavery methods.
Dems herd identity-types across borders; they sell them in lots to do the bidding of Democraps ....as eternal Democrat voters.

===================================

Voter fraud election experts detailed findings from a cyber/forensic investigation reveal compromised voting machines in 2018 (and quite probably, in the recent KY governor’s race)............... (1) security protections in voting machines were disabled, (2) penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was and is possible, and (3) evidence already exists that votes were surreptitiously, electronically manipulated to change election results.

BROWARD, FLORIDA WAS THE DEMOCRAPS 2020 DRESS REHEARSAL---but the play closed on opening night (smirk).

<><> the corrupt Brenda Snipes deliberately missed the deadline by two minute to ensure a Democratic victory. It was intentional. They then "found" 760 votes in favor of Republicans. Snipes knew if she waited past the deadline, they wouldn't be counted.

<><> Democrats sent “Cure Affidavits” to people who had improper absentee ballots--post-election notice to electors whose ballots are invalidated due to a signature discrepancy..

<><> In email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK showed that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots after the Nov. 5 deadline. Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a “cure affidavit,” that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline.

<><>Florida Democrats altered the official affidavits to place an incorrect date on them.

<><>Florida Democrats sent out the altered affidavits the day AFTER the election.

==================================

TRUMP HAS THE SOLUTION “In the 2016 Election I was winning by so much in Florida that Broward County, which was very late with vote tabulation and probably getting ready to do a ‘number’ on me, couldn’t do it because not enough people live in Broward for them to falsify a victory!”... [snip]

Nothing to steal. The Dems have already openly stated this theme themselves.
