Romney calls for nation to 'get behind' Biden
CNN ^ | Nov 8 | By Devan Cole and Veronica Stracqualursi

Posted on 11/08/2020 10:24:28 AM PST by RandFan

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday called for the country to "get behind" President-elect Joe Biden and said he has seen no evidence of widespread voter fraud, even as President Donald Trump has pushed for election-related lawsuits and refused to concede the election.

"I think we get behind the new president, unless for some reason that's overturned, we get behind the new president and wish him the very best," Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

While CNN and other networks projected Saturday that Biden will become the 46th President of the United States and Kamala Harris will become vice president, Trump has pushed his attorneys to pursue legal challenges that would delay formal certification of the results. And as his path to reelection narrowed, the President pushed baseless claims of voter fraud -- claims Romney cast doubt on Sunday.

"I do believe, however, that it's destructive to the cause of democracy to suggest widespread fraud or corruption. There's just no evidence of that at this stage. And I think it's important for us to recognize that the world is watching," Romney said.

BULLS..T! Why don’t you just jump ship and turn Democrat since that is who you really are! Looking for your own interest and not the American People.

Stephen Miller, Bill Stepien, Ryan, Corey, Kushner, pull your head out of your ass and get someone out there at 6am tomorrow to pump this "If Delaying For a Fair Count Was Good Enough For Vice-President Gore, It's More Than Good Enough For President Trump."

For God's sake, this 2000 Narrative is a FREAKING GOLD MINE. Just use the same words and credit them directly to GORE. It will put the Democrats on the DEFENSIVE and force GORE to the FORE and the guy will have to come out of hiding and defend BIDEN against HIS OWN WORDS FROM 20 YEARS AGO.

And then we can follow-up with what kind of scumbag Gore is for leaving his Tipper and his own kids AFTER HE GOT RICH ON DEMOCRAT MONEY. JUST LIKE HUNTER.

COUNTERPUNCH NOW. HARD! REVIVE THE PRE-ELECTION NARRATIVES!


LA TIMES: "Gore: Ignoring Votes Is Ignoring Democracy, Nov. 28, 2000"
"But, whatever the outcome, let the people have their say, and let us listen.

Ignoring votes means ignoring democracy itself.

There are some who would have us bring this election to the fastest conclusion possible. I have a different view. I believe our Constitution matters more than convenience. So, as provided under Florida law, I have decided to contest this inaccurate and incomplete count, in order to ensure the greatest possible credibility for the outcome.

I agree with something Gov. [George W.] Bush said last night. We need to come together as a country to make progress. But how can we best achieve that? Our country will be stronger, not weaker, if our next president assumes office following a process that most Americans believe is fair."

MORE...In 2000, Democrats controlling their highest State Court (Florida) at least deigned to consider what might be "guidelines for what counts as a valid vote". "GUIDELINES"! They were willing to consider GUIDELINES BEFORE WE EVEN GOT DOWN TO COUNTING CHADS.

LOFL we haven't even be offered TO VIEW THE FREAKING BALLOTS -- what is the likelihood PA and MI Supreme Courts even offer an appeal to the same considerations! NONE. ZERO. UNLESS WE GO INTO THOSE COURTS AND TAKE WHAT IS OURS!


NYT: "THE 2000 ELECTIONS: CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES; How Gore Stopped Short On His Way to Concede"

"What Mr. Whouley had to say, the aide, Michael B. Feldman, recalled, was that the Florida secretary of state's Web page had winnowed Mr. Bush's advantage of 50,000 votes to 6,000, with precincts still to tally.

That changed everything. About a half-hour later, at 2:30 a.m. Central time, Mr. Gore placed his second call of the evening to Mr. Bush.

[ Ed note: GUESS WHO? -> ] Donna Brazile, Mr. Gore's campaign manager, sent the vice president a message at 1:20 a.m. Central time on his Blackberry, an instant messaging pager: ''Never surrender. It's not over yet.''

'Sometimes you could hear a pin drop in the room,'' said a family friend at the Four Seasons, ''like when New Mexico was called for Gore. We all had our own written lists of the states he needed. We had all done our own electoral calculations.''

Several blocks away, Mr. Bush's chief strategist, Karl Rove, and one of his deputies, [ Ed note : GUESS WHO? -> ] Matthew Dowd, had done the same thing.

Mr. Gore told his Republican rival that circumstances had changed in the last 45 minutes. The race, Mr. Gore said, was now too close to call, and there would be an automatic recount in Florida. He was going to wait it out.

Mr. Bush told Mr. Gore that his brother Jeb, the governor of Florida, had just assured him that Florida was his, Gore aides said.

''Let me explain something,'' Mr. Gore said. ''Your younger brother is not the ultimate authority on this.''

The conversation drew quickly to a close. The election did not.

After two sleepless days of campaigning, after a gut-wrenching night in which they had been convinced that they had won and then devastated that they had not, Mr. Gore and his aides were back in the game."

Trump should bet everything he has vs. everything Romney has. If Trump finds more than 750 fault/fraudulent ballots...Romney loses.
