Well, it's a good thing it'll be a Democratic president handing the reins of power over to our first woman president while Donny is pounding...sand.
Watching the media have a cow over Trump's comments on this - and your post above - is hilarious, delicious irony. Al Gore and the 2000 election, anyone? Hell, the poor misguided bastard is still running around telling folks he won the election to this very day. How dare he sully the great institution that is the US elections process! LOL!

False equivalency.

I'm getting real tired of this business of excusing bad behavior because someone else did it.

If some idiot went and played leapfrog in the middle of a highway, would you do it too?

Gore did not constantly raise the spectre of a stolen election for months leading up to the election.

Gore did not indicate that he might not accept the results at a point in the campaign when it looked like he would lose.

Gore called Bush to congratulate him after Florida was called for Bush, even though it had previously been called for him.

It was only after the many irregularities in the Florida election came to light that Gore challenged the results.

When the Supreme Court chose to interfere with the Florida Supreme Court's constitutionally mandated jurisdiction over elections in their state, Gore accepted the decision.

Gore actually did win.

Parenthetically, I find the idea of Roger Stone leading the election protest over Trump's loss deliciously ironic.

I was thinking how sad for America it is that Brietbart was on stage last night at a Presidential debate. I got a sick feeling when I saw Bannon waiting on Trump as he was getting into his limousine.

Another reason to carefully contemplate the options.
My model of the emergency call and the choice of reliable kid minder/ house sitter still applies. You go with the most reliable trustworthy alternative if 'perfect' isn't available.
