Hell no.

You'll reinvent yourself and claim you were behind him all along.

Because that's the kind of person you are.

Bluster.

1. SSA & Medicare will be gutted. Trump will explain the situation was worse than had been revealed, but the new plan is beautiful.

2. The replacement for Obama care will be awful--something like everyone gets an inadequate voucher to buy Deleware insurance, but Trump will explain that it's beautiful.

3. We'll invade Iran. Russia won't like it. World gets very dangerous.

4. We'll have to see if we get to 4.

Baron von Clownstick is beshatting himself apparently.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!

I like the way this author puts it.

I should clarify at this point that the opposite is true of Hillary supporters; they’re obnoxious hypocrites if they support the recount. They mocked Trump and his supporters relentlessly for suggesting that the Democrats might try to rig the general election like they rigged their own primary, and before that they mocked us Berners even more cruelly for complaining about that rigged primary. They called us crybabies, petulant children, kept telling us to shut up and fall in line with their illicitly-nominated candidate even after the DNC leaks revealed that the people responsible for ensuring a fair primary had been actively conspiring against our Bernie in violation of their Charter. They’ve been bullying, cajoling and gaslighting everyone who mentions election-rigging, and they were unbelievably mean about it, but now that their “inevitable” candidate lost, they’re all in favor of a recount.

Hypocrisy goes both ways. Trump was holding out about whether he'd accept the election's results if he lost, then he criticizes Hillary when your girl, Stein, goes for a recount. Moreover, Trump just tweeted about rampant voter fraud in VA, NH and CA. How can he allege massive voter fraud and then bitch about a recount, particularly when he threatened to do exactly the same? Lastly, before the election, he claimed that fraud problems existed in PA, but shut up when he won that state. Now that he lost VA, NH and CA, they are the fraudulent states. You are one gullible sumbitch, TJ. Trump's ego depends on suck-ups like you.

I suspect there was some kind of rigging by the Clinton campaign going on. They rigged the nomination against Bernie, so it's pretty naive to think they weren't trying to rig the general election too. But they didn't have complete control over the general election like they did the Democratic nomination process, so they weren't able to rig it enough for her to win.

So looking at it from Trump's point of view, here's an opponent that not only cheated, but also had virtually the entire MSM actively working for her campaign by publishing hit pieces on Trump 24/7, had twice as much money, and had the support of most of the Republican establishment behind her, and he still managed to beat her. And now, she's complaining that he cheated.

How the fuck did Trump cheat?

It was well known that he had virtually no organization on the ground to help him get out the vote, let alone cheat. The Republican establishment hated him and wanted him to lose big, so they sure as Hell didn't help him cheat. So how the FUCK did he cheat?

Between GOP voter suppression efforts and Russia's hacking and fake news, whatever meaningful cheating that occurred benefited Trump.

There is voter suppression by the GOP.

That's been around way before this election.

By the way, the DNC's suppression of Bernies vote far outdid anything the Republicans did.

Russian hacking is one of the most ridiculous fantasy's ever.

Fake news is a good description of the hundreds of anti-Trump hit pieces put out by the MSM.

Lets see. I can choose to believe that millions of working stiffs and their families in the rust belt , after being thrown under the bus for decades by the Globalization policies of both the Democrats and the Republicans, went out and voted for Trump thereby giving him the electoral college votes he needed to prevail.

Or, on the other hand I can choose to believe that "Russian Hackers" somehow managed to manipulate the vote tally and give the election to Trump.

I'm gonna go with number one.
