    Hey, I completely understand if you are using the word in a metaphorical way as apposed to a literal interpretation.

    You might want to learn the difference.

    No....I'm using it very literally. Hillary Clinton is literally a person who has committed a crime, multiple crimes in fact. Educate yourself kiddo.

    Weird, I can use the google as well as anybody and can't seem to find anything about her being convicted of any crimes.anywhere

    Oh well, back to the thread topic. Yes, I will fully accept the results of the election and am confident that they will be fair.

    And you also can't find anything in the definition about being convicted of the crimes a criminal commits. I mean, I know that some people are so blinded by partisanship that they might convince themselves that just because Hillary's political power prevented an indictment for crimes there was just a massive amount of evidence to support her being guilty of somehow means that she didn't do anything wrong.....but those people are also REALLY REALLY stupid.

    I also accept that you are most likely one of those people.

    LOL I'd argue that your ignorance consumes you and it's truly not healthy. Try to see beyond the partisan talking points and you might have a chance to add something intelligent.

    I strongly suspect the same people who don't "trust" the election results aren't going to allow UN observers to ensure a fair election.

    Trump doesn't get to decide recounts, the states do. If there is a wide margin, the states aren't going to waste resources.
    Oh look. Another liberal who thinks the election is rigged.

    I don't see how you come to "rigged" from that. Read it again. All he is saying is that Trump is going to be a pain in the ass if he loses, and keep fighting even if/when he is clearly defeated. Codman doesn't once impugn the fairness of the election, only Trump's willingness to accept it.

    Now, assuming he loses...

    Personally, I'm cool with him asking for as many recounts as he likes. As long as he operates within the extant rules, more power to him. I fully expect him to make a big show pushing for recounts, and doing anything else he can find in the rules to keep hope alive.

    The thing that worries me and the point where I will get upset is him trying to keep fighting the results after he has exercised all of his options within the rules of the election process - trying to delegitimize the results after he has exercised whatever appeal processes he has under the rules. I don't know that he will do that, but I can envision the scenario.

    But I think anybody who would begrudge Trump the full extent of legal, lawful options to challenge and confirm results is making a terrible mistake.

    I think if Trump loses (very likely), then he'll eventually accept his defeat to Clinton. I don't think he really believes that the election is rigged...he's just saying that to stir **** up and get a rise out of people. Likewise with a lot of other crazy things he's said. (Maybe he'll ask for one recount just for the hell of it.) His entire campaign is a troll job and reeks of attention-whorism and showboating.

    The overwhelming majority of people in this country, including most Trump supporters, will quickly get over it and move on with their lives once this election is over. At worst, some of his ardent fans will just go back to whining on Facebook.

    LOL, I think it's more likely that neither candidate is running in 2020 than it is a rematch happens.

    If the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate someone like Trump then I hope she does.

    In 2020, with the left leaning media machine brainwashing the "Dancing with the Stars" focused electorate....Ronald Reagan couldn't get elected vs. the Clinton machine.

    I don't want to hear a freaking word from you for the next 4 years about Clinton. Not. One. Word.

    I disagree, almost any Republican easily beats Hillary....but the Republicans in their infinite wisdom picked just about the only person on the planet more repugnant than she is.....and someone who was a life-long Democrat who supported her when she ran 8 years ago.

    If you want to blame anyone, blame those Republicans foolish enough to support Trump.

    Maybe in an off year election. As an incumbent who already escaped the most devastating corruption charges ever leveled? She will steam roll the republicans especially with 4 more years of illegals pouring across the border and the ever changing demographics.

    In short, conservatism is over in this country. We are essentially a 1 party country controlled by the media....just like that country we all fear so much...Russia.

    One of the few things I agree with you on is the stupidity of the Trump hard core voter. But that doesn't excuse those who vote for Clinton in the end. Again. Not. One. Word.

    So you think I'll vote for Hillary? I've chosen to not vote for either. Hell I live in Texas so Trump is taking the state no matter what I do, I'd rather be able to look back on this disaster and say that I had no part in it at all. This mess is 100% on Republican and Democratic partisans.
