If Team Hillary is allowed to proceed with recounts in
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, states she lost by as many as 70,000
votes (Pennsylvania), then surely Team Trump should be green-lighted, if
necessary, for recounts in Rhode Island, New Mexico, Delaware, Minnesota,
Nevada, Maine and New Hampshire. After all, Trump lost Rhode Island by 70,000
votes, New Mexico by 55,000, Delaware by 50,000, Minnesota by 44,000, Nevada by
25,000, Maine by 20,000 and New Hampshire by only 3,000! Don’t they owe it to
the huge numbers of Trump voters in those states? Isn’t it “a fundamental
principle of our democracy to ensure that every vote is properly counted?” Is
it not “important, on principle,” for the Trump Team to take part in and
monitor the process? Or do those sentiments just apply to Clinton?
And, in
Trump’s case, we know that some dead
people and illegal aliens were able to cast ballots for Hillary, while the
American government itself is on record stating that there was no evidence of
substantive hacking or outside interference in the election, as Democrats were
worried about.
So what
if these recounts delay the “final” election results for weeks, promote the
idea that Trump isn’t a “legitimate” President, encourage more rioting in the
streets, and further tarnish the image of the United States abroad?
Wasn’t
it just a few days ago that Hillary told her supporters that they must accept
Donald Trump as president, stating “We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead,”
while acknowledging that the country was even more divided than she had
realized?
I truly
am saddened when it turns out- as it almost always does- that I should be even
more skeptical of politician’s statements than I already am. This was just one
more Clinton lie, one that will fan the flames of hatred and anarchy, further
dividing the nation.
Instead
of helping to heal the nation as her concession remarks would suggest she
intended, she has decided to screw it…one more time.
