Gee, Why Can’t Trump Accept Defeat Like the Democrats?
Ann Coulter Dot Com ^ | 17 Nov 2020 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 11/19/2020 9:19:10 AM PST by Rummyfan

In 1980, Democratic President Jimmy Carter lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan, 489-49 in the Electoral College. So naturally, Democrats concluded that Reagan had committed treason in order to steal the election, to wit: His campaign had conspired with Iranian ayatollahs to prevent 52 American hostages from being released until after the election.

And who can blame them? Carter’s economic policies had produced a 21% interest rate, a 17% mortgage rate and a 15% inflation rate in the coveted “hat trick” of presidential incompetence. His brilliant strategic ploy of abandoning the Shah of Iran had led to a 154% spike in oil prices and Islamic lunatics seizing our embassy and holding Americans hostage in Tehran, where they remained for 444 days, until Carter was safely removed from office.

With all that going for them — plus that old Mondale magic –Democrats were dumbstruck that they lost the 1980 election. What other than a dirty trick could explain it?

The Democrats’ theory was that a month before the election, members of Reagan’s campaign had clandestinely met with representatives of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Paris and offered to sell him weapons in exchange for a promise not to release the hostages, thus denying Carter a huge election eve triumph.

In other words, liberals believed the Islamo-fascist cutthroats who had been toying with Carter like a cat with a ball of yarn wanted Carter replaced by someone stronger, like Reagan. How else to explain the fact that, minutes after Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were released?

Carter himself called for a “blue-ribbon” commission to investigate, saying, “it’s almost nauseating to think that this could be true.” (Which is ironic because that was my reaction, word for word, upon learning that Carter had been elected president.)

LOL!

Ann should be feeling pretty good about herself.
All through the campaign, she kept saying Trump deserved to lose. He has not officially lost yet, but it’s not looking good. Happy now, Ann? You and FoxNews ‘did it’!

Another horse face weighs in. Lightly, I may add, as skeletons are not heavy.

Just like the Dems wholeheartedly accepted his victory four years ago?

Trump, through this ballot battle, is finding out who his true and loyal friends are.

I remember back in the late 90's, early 2000's, a lot of FReepers somehow thought Ann Coulter was hot. Every time a thread was started after one of her articles, someone would post a picture of her with the caption "Rules". I always thought she looked like a skinny skank. I remember she would show up sometimes on Faux Snooze RedEye and she would be put to shame by some of the beautiful Fox Infobabes that were on the same panel. However, she is a witty writer and still occasionally comes up with a good one.

The Democrats nickname for accepting defeat is "The Al Franklin Bag Job...they've been perfecting it for years.

This headline will make a great meme to flood the liberal socialist media with.
