(AP) Donald Trumps incoming chief of staff suggests Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner. Reince Priebus tells Fox News Sunday that Clintons team cut a deal with Trumps team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede.
Priebus says thats just what happened election night.
But now hes questioning whether Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias is backing down from that deal by announcing Clinton will participate in a recount in Wisconsin and may do the same in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The push is being led by the Green Partys Jill Stein.
APs director of media relations, Lauren Easton, says AP calls races when it is clear that one candidate has prevailed over the other. We have no knowledge of what the candidates do with that information until there is a public claim of victory or a concession.

If you make a deal with a Clinton you deserved to be humiliated. Reince Priebus this means you.
When did Priebus squeak that? We’ve been waiting all weekend for some R in authority to stand up and say NO! But all we got on Monday morning is something on the level of, “democrats are poopyheads.” Priebus IS still the R chairman, is he not?
You COULD? Wouldn’t that be a fine precedent for any “iron clad” decisions a CIC might make later on while in office? I’m reminded of Obunga’s multiple red lines in the sand.
POTUS cannot appoint a special prosecutor. It was changed after Nixon
YES. He needs to turn up the heat on this, start talking about next steps in the investigation. HRC was lucky to have been given a pass, but now... hope she finds herself in front of a prosecutor and judge.
Trump stole what was rightfully hers to take. She knew ahead of time she was the winner, and only she was destined to rule. Damn Deplorables messed things up, there were more of them than expected. This could not possibly happen to a woman so loved by the populous. There was no need to show the small turnouts because everything was set in place until she opened her mouth and said; “Deplorables”.
And the Florida vote was definitely close enough to warrant a recount...but this is nut$.
Why would Trump have made such a deal? What was in it for him? When was such a deal cut, before or after all the faux outrage at his undermining democracy for not saying he would automatically concede on election night if the AP said he should?
That she is. That Smartest Woman on Earth is really a cowardly conniving imbecile She ducked press interviews, did far less campaigning, thought she was the Anointed One
Much too incompetent, dishonest, corrupt, lazy and sloth to be President.
when you WIN big.....you don’t need a concession from the other party
He “suggests” it? Boy, nothing gets past Reince, does it? The “suggest” ship sailed about three days ago. The bitch backed off 100% and is in for the long haul.
What I don’t understand is how it’s possible for minds to be this evil. How do they get to the Dark Side so easily? Our problem is that we don’t think that way. (Satan is cunning and powerful.)
I think Trump was leaning toward burying the hatchet, but Hillary is doing her best to poke the bull & convince him that the only way for her to truly “go away” and not be active in politics isn’t for her to make that decision because she is incapable of it (addicted to power & money) & her ‘word’ means nothing. The only way to get rid of her is to drive a wooden stake through her heart i.e. prosecute her for crimes she has committed & get results (conviction, fines, prison time, etc.).
I was fairly shocked at the mistakes her campaign made (the vaunted supposedly unbeatable Dem/Clinton ‘machine’) - the collective weight of them along with the Clintons’ arrogance and hubris is what sank Hilly .... she is continuing with the same playbook & she’s going to end up a convicted felon if she continues down this path.
if there was an agreement, then she broke it. Means all the cards are back on the table including an aggressive special prosecutor.
If she were really the “smartest woman in the world” she would call this off.
I agree...if she continues to pursue this, let’s have her investigated and charged...for everything!
Like Hitler; Hillary Clinton is utterly evil and duplicitous. She is totally incapable of telling the truth or of keeping her word and EVERYTHING SHE SAYS AND DOES IS DONE IN ORDER TO FURTHER HER ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF BECOMING POTUS BY ANY AND ALL NEFARIOUS MEANS POSSIBLE, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK!
Donald, "WAKE UP AND "SMELL THE COFFEE": HILLARY CLINTON, ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY SYNDICATE ARE NOTHING BUT CRIMINALS. THEY M U S T BE TRIED, PROSECUTED AND PUNISHED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PROTECT THE REPUBLIC AND "DRAIN THE SWAMP" WITHOUT DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF EVIL, CORRUPTION AND LAWLESSNESS.
Millions of your supporters were screaming "LOCK HER UP!... LOCK HER UP!... LOCK HER UP" because they knew this about her and they want you to keep your word about becoming the "Law and Order President"!
Reestablishing trust in American institutions, the legal and justice departments, and in the government of the United States DEMANDS THAT HILLARY CLINTON AND COMPANY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THEIR CRIMES AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PROTECT THEM FROM THEIR HEINOUS CRIMES, EMBOLDEN THEM TO COMMIT FURTHER CRIMES, AS THEY ARE NOW DOING IN SEEKING TO STEAL THE ELECTION FROM YOU, AND DEMONSTRATE TO OTHERS THAT THEY TOO CAN BREAK THE LAW WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE POWERFUL, FAMOUS AND RICH ENOUGH: THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU! AND YES, I AM YELLING; IT IS CALLED "RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION".
Mr. Trump, remember your poem "The Snake". You can't placate it, you can't coddle it, you can't ignore it; IT IS DEADLY; THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS DESTROY/SLAY IT!
“I (name) affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”
“Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner. Reince Priebus tells Fox News Sunday that Clintons team cut a deal with Trumps team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede.”
Both agreements made by the GOP-e and presumably Hillary, both convinced that Trump would lose. We knew Hillary was a liar.
The Dems almost tore this country apart with the “hanging chads” fight. If they can’t have power, then they don’t want anyone to have it.
Donnie boy, if when you are president you’d best go after this criminal else she’ll haunt ya forever just as the magic negro plans doing.
Let the Rats spend all the money they want for a “re-count”, I hope it backfires right in their faces.
Couldn’t even come out on Election Night to speak to her true believers.

Have you ever been drunk Sam? I mean falling down sloppy drunk? If you have, double that image and you’ll begin to get a picture of Hillary on election night.
