In a post-truth political sphere, it’s almost impossible to find consensus.
Trump won the Electoral College resoundingly; Clinton won the popular vote by millions. Trump’s November 8th coalition comprised as unusual and diverse an ideological coalition as the U.S. has seen; nearly half of Clinton voters thought Sanders should’ve been the Dem nominee.
But here are three things all Americans, no matter their politics, agree on:
1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.
2. No person should ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
3. We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
I’ve been watching wall-to-wall coverage of the election for the past month, and I can’t recall hearing any Republican or Democratic operatives disagreeing with any of the above premises.

It has been figured out: Trump won.
1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.
2. No person should ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
3. We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
4. That any intelligence agency that puts out propaganda and lies to the Congress and the People, while causing friction with another Nation, be charged with treason.
Had to add my own.....
I.e. let’s cancel the election and let Obama remain president.
He seems to have overlooked “no illegal alien should be allowed to vote...”
That seems to be the consensus on DU.
You should fill in “Acceptance” with “#FreeHillaryfromPrison!”
NO, NO, and NO ..!!!!!
DEMOCRATS: YOU LOST .. GET OVER IT.
His original candidate was Bernie. Seth let Hillary steal any threat that Bernie could be in the nomination with action of those that were later paid becoming part of her campaign.
Seth rolled over on his back and played dead.
Hillary then used surrogate Jil to try and screw with re-counts she could not mount because it was Democrats that were most problematic in vote casting in the chosen states.
Seth looked like a puppy with big sad eyes.
Now, as in any Democrat loss, the recounts and recalculations are demanded to continue until the socialist at the top of the ticket wins so that the puppies can be happy.
It is not going to happen, Seth.
Just more affirmation that the lefties are INSANE! Pass the popcorn, please!
The lefties, being insane, always want to try to prove a negative. Have at it, libs!
53 percent of the populace voted against Hillary if you count the third parties. About 54.5 per cent voted against Trump...there again counting the third parties. Neither Hillary nor Trump got the “majority vote”...though both had strong plurality votes. I think it would start to clear the “Hillary won the popular vote” meme from public discourse the more we all framed the popular vote discussions in such a manner!
lol
Trump treated Hillary will and this is how she repays and, and he still hasn’t figured it out...Jail the Whore.
Want some cheese to go with that whine? Huffington Post would throw out the whole constitution to satisfy their sniveling crying tantrums over this election.
I meant to write “With Kindness”....old brain
The only “hostile power” that tried to influence the election was the #fakenews media with their #fakepolls and their 24/7 campaigning for Clinton.
That is why they are now pushing the #fakenews and the #fakerussians at everyone within hearing range. They thought that they could throw the election to Clinton the way they threw it to 0bama, and they FAILED. Now, they are trying to come up with an excuse as to why they failed. They failed because they believed their own lies, and by 2016 people were on to them, and their dirty tricks, and could easily get other news sources.
It is probably what we need at this point in our history.
I love that one. She always makes me smile.
