A Really Stupid Attack on Trump
So Donald Trump won’t say that he accepts the outcome of the 2016 election.
The liberals have gone berserk. The New York Times huffed and puffed about “Donald Trump’s Contempt for Democracy.”
But of course, if leftists claim that an election outcome is illegitimate because it was “bought” by “monied interests,” these same people have no problem with that.
Wisconsin leftists, for example, have blamed the Koch brothers for pretty much every election they have lost in the past few years.
And of course, a lot of liberals said Bush as not legitimately elected in 2000. “Selected not elected” they said. Was that an attack on democracy? No, it was just an opinion about the election. If Trump goes around saying that the election was unfairly “fixed” for Hillary, that’s his right. Only if he recruits troops and stages a revolt is there any threat to democracy.
[Update]
Who was one of the people saying George Bush was “selected not elected?” Hillary Clinton.
