Donald Trump just ceded the presidency to Hillary Clinton
nypost ^ | John Podhoretz

Posted on 10/20/2016 7:44:07 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

An hour and 18 minutes into Wednesday night’s debate, Donald Trump effectively acknowledged his coming defeat.

“Lotsa luck, Hillary,” he said, after a peroration on the humanitarian disaster in Syria and how it is going to consume much of the next president’s time over the next four years.

What will she need luck for if she’s not going to be president?

Ten minutes earlier, Trump told moderator Chris Wallace he will let us all know on election night whether he is going to accept the results of the Nov. 8 balloting. It was a shocking and cravenly irresponsible thing to say, the sort of thing that threatens to rend our national fabric, and for that alone, Trump has earned his place in the history of American ignominy.

But who needs to wait? Consciously or not, the guy ceded the race. Live. On television. On Oct. 19. Lotsa luck indeed.

Hillary sure did luck out having him as her rival. She can basically take the next three weeks off. But why would she? She can just spend the time taking the most luxurious pre-victory lap in American history.

Hillary belches out top secret nuclear information, and they twist Trump’s words to come up with something “important” to talk about.

Honestly, there has got to be a mental flu or something going around.

They just don’t want their gravy trains to stop do they???

ROFL...they are making such fools of themselves, and are so under educated on topics that we the American Voters are so defined on...

But they are taking themselves down all by the way of Clinton, everything and anything the Clintons touch turns to poop...ALWAYS!!!

Clearly their heads are buried deeply in the sand (or some other nether region).

The media doesn’t know or discover anything that hasn’t come from HRC operations or the DNC fax machine.

Ignore the polls. This election will be determined by who gets more people to show up and vote.

It’s the hypothetical “Lotsa luck” about Hill’s proposed course of action. Which Donald is not intending to implement.

Man these guys don’t even grasp at straws. They grasp at hairs.

I took his comment for what it is: a message to Hillary that she is a fool if she thinks that being President of the United States is an easy job.

John Podhoretz is the author of this tripe.

It is so childish it needs no rebuttal.

Pathetic, really.
