HILLARY CLINTON PONDERS CHALLENGE OF 2016 ELECTION; SHE SHOULD RUN AGAIN IN 2020:

HILLARY LOST BECAUSE SHE HAD A BAD, MISMANAGED CAMPAIGN.

HILLARY HAD TOO MANY PEOPLE ON HER TEAM WHO JUST WANTED FAME & PAYCHECKS.

SHE WON'T REST UNTIL SHE RUNS AND WINS.

STOP BLAMING EVERYONE AND JUST RUN AGAIN TO WIN.

HILLARY BELONGS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS THE FIRST WOMAN U.S. PRESIDENT.

***** Hillary Clinton still wants to challenge election results


Hillary​ Clinton just can’t face the fact that Donald Trump is in the White House and she’s not.

Ten months after her stunning defeat​ in the 2016 presidential election, the Democratic nominee held out the possibility of challenging the results if there’s solid proof of Russian interference beyond what has already been made public.

“I wouldn’t rule it out​,” Clinton told National Public Radio on Monday.


That seemed to floor the interviewer, Terry Gross.

“So what are the means, like, this is totally unprecedented in every way,” Gross said, grasping for a follow-up.

“It is,” replied Clinton.

But when asked how she would file such a challenge, Clinton was stumped.

“I don’t know if there’s any legal, constitutional way to do that​,” she admitted.

“There are scholars, academics, who have arguments that it would be, but I don’t think they’re on strong ground. But people are making those arguments. I just don’t think we have a mechanism,” she said.

Clinton got 3 million more popular votes than Trump but lost the presidency in the Electoral College, an institution she said should be eliminated.

“I do believe we should abolish the Electoral College, because I was sitting listening to a report on the French election and the French political analyst said, ‘You know, in our country the person with the most votes wins, unlike in yours.’ And I think that’s an anachronism. I’ve said that since 2000​,” she told NPR​.

Clinton insisted that if the roles were reversed — and Trump won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College — she would still be pushing for a full probe of Russia’s involvement in the election.

“Let me just put it this way — if I had lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College and in my first day as president the intelligence community came to me and said, ‘The Russians influenced the election,’ I would’ve never stood for it. Even though it might’ve advantaged me, I would’ve said, ‘We’ve got to get to the bottom of this.’ I would’ve set up an independent commission with subpoena power and everything else,” she said.

The NPR interview was part of a tour for Clinton’s new book, “What Happened,” in which she claims then-FBI Director James Comey cost her the election by announcing a new investigation into her ­e-mails 11 days before voters went to the polls.

In her chat with NPR, Clinton charged that Comey held her to a higher standard than Trump.

“Where I part company with him — and think he violated every rule in the book as a FBI director — was what he did on Oct. 28 [2016], because what he did then was to send a letter acting like he was reopening an investigation that had been closed to Congress, knowing it would be immediately leaked. And later on when asked, Well weren’t you also conducting an investigation into the Trump campaign and their connections with Russia? Yes. Well, why didn’t you tell the American people that?
Because it was too close to the election,” she claimed.

Donald J. Trump will be the next president of the United States.

That's been the case since Nov. 8, when Trump won 306 electoral votes, despite losing the national popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million.

And on Monday, the result was ratified by Electoral College voters, who gathered in state capitols across the United States to formally vote for president.

That voting continues, but by early evening, Trump went over the 270 needed, according to the Associated Press, which tracked results from capitol to capitol. That was despite a pitched effort by some on the left who wrote letters to Trump electors trying to persuade them to switch their votes or not vote at all and keep Trump short of the 270 needed.

Not only did it not happen, but more electors tried to defect from Hillary Clinton Monday than from Trump, by a count of seven to two, as of Monday afternoon. Three Democratic electors tried to vote for Bernie Sanders instead of Clinton — one in Maine, one in Minnesota and one in Colorado. The electors' votes, however, were disallowed because of state rules binding them to the statewide popular vote winner.

Four more electors in Washington state defected from Clinton. Three voted for Colin Powell and one for Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American who gained some notoriety for her protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Electoral College gathering is usually a formality — a chance for political activists to gather amid pomp and circumstance to formalize their party's victory in each state.

But the fact Clinton won the national popular vote by such a large margin, combined with the unconventional and unpredictable — and to many, threatening — way that Trump carried himself before and after winning the White House, led to an unprecedented effort to lobby electors to vote for someone else.

Electors found themselves inundated by letters, petitions, tweets and Facebook posts, urging them to cast a ballot for an alternative candidate.

Many people behind the lobbying campaign cited a Federalist Paper written by Alexander Hamilton, which frames the Electoral College as a safeguard against "foreign powers" that try to "gain an improper ascendant in our councils" — a potentially relevant line, in the midst of revelations that Russia attempted to disrupt this year's election by hacking and releasing Democratic emails.

Hollywood celebrities even got in on the act, recording video pleas to electors. But, unsurprisingly, that effort had no effect on Trump electors.

Maine elector David Bright announced Monday morning that he would cast a ballot for Sanders. But Bright ultimately changed his vote to Clinton, after his initial ballot was ruled out of order.

A Minnesota elector, Muhammad Abdurrahman, tried to vote Sanders, according to Minnesota Public Radio reporter Brian Bakst. He was replaced by another elector who cast a ballot for Clinton.

A similar situation happened in Colorado, too, with an attempted Sanders vote being swapped out for someone who cast a ballot for Clinton.

Two Texas electors defected from Trump — one went for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the other for former Texas Rep. Ron Paul. The Kasich defector, Chris Suprun, told The Hill beforehand his plans. Another Texas elector, Art Cisneros, resigned instead of voting for Trump. He spoke to NPR earlier this month.

Many Republican electors dismissed the pleas to "vote their conscience," pointing out that their consciences were perfectly fine with Trump.

With protesters heckling from the gallery of Pennsylvania's House chamber, Pennsylvania elector Robert Gleason seemed to pointedly respond to their efforts.

"My fellow electors," Gleason said, "let us always remember this shared moment when we stood up for our constitutional system, followed our conscience, answered the call of Pennsylvania voters, and did our part by electing the next president and vice president of the United States, Donald Trump and Mike Pence."

There are two more steps in the process. States will submit a "certificate of vote" to the Federal Register by Dec. 28. Then, on Jan. 6, Congress will formally tally the Electoral College's votes in a joint session and make it official.

NORTH CAROLINA'S 15 ELECTORS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP DESPITE PRESSURE FROM DEMS

NORTH CAROLINA'S 15 ELECTORS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP:

NC ELECTORS SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN PRESSURED BY DEMS TO NOT SUPPORT TRUMP.

***** NC electors pledge to vote for Trump on Monday


The Electoral College, that quadrennial exercise in civic theater, has undergone an extraordinary amount of pressure and petitioning in 2016.

North Carolina’s 15 electors said Sunday that they have received letters by the tub loads and thousands of emails and phone calls urging them not to vote for President-elect Donald Trump.

The pressure has been counterproductive, said the electors, who plan to cast their official votes for Trump on Monday.

“It is disappointing,” said Glenn Pinckney Sr., an elector from Catawba County. “It shows a lack of understanding and disrespect for democracy.”

Every leap year, on the the first Monday following the second Wednesday of December, 538 electors meet in the 50 state capitols and the District of Columbia and make the elections for president and vice president final and official.

Under the Constitution, voters in the popular election are not voting for the candidates. They cast their ballots for slates of electors committed to the candidate of their party. Each state has one elector for each member of the U.S. House and Senate. The District of Columbia has three electors, bringing the total to 538 electoral votes.

After the bitterly divided election in which Trump lost the popular vote by 2.8 million votes, the 2016 Electoral College is far from perfunctory. Reports that Russian government hackers interfered in the election on Trump’s behalf have only increased attention.

Protests are being organized Monday in state capitals urging electors to reject Trump and vote for Hillary Clinton. The December 19 Coalition, which is organizing the demonstrations, said the protests will be peaceful, patriotic, nonviolent and family friendly.

Mark Delk, a Republican elector from Asheville, estimates he has received between three thousand and four thousand letters, enough to fill to two postal cartons. Delk said he’s tried to read every one. Virtually all were form letters, he said.

“These people were exercising their First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances,” he said. “I would say about four or five were well-written, well-thought out letters.”

Delk said he will personally respond to those but not the form letters.

Delk, Pinckney and the other electors met with the media Sunday evening at the North Carolina Museum of History. All adamantly proclaimed their enthusiasm about voting for Trump, holding up Trump stickers to show their unity.

One Republican elector in Texas, Christopher Suprun, has written that he does not believe Trump is fit for office and that he will not vote for him. Suprun cited Alexander Hamilton’s admonition that presidential candidates must be independent from foreign influence and not engage in demagoguery.

Such a defection won’t happen in North Carolina, even in the face of large or persuasive protests. State law ensures that North Carolina will deliver 15 electoral votes to Trump on Monday.

Under North Carolina law, all electors must vote for their party candidate or face immediate removal and a $500 fine. That law popped up after the 1968 Electoral College, when Rocky Mount eye doctor Lloyd Bailey refused to cast his vote for Richard Nixon.

Bailey, a member of the ultraconservative John Birch Society, said he deemed Nixon too liberal. He later testified before Congress that he cast his vote for independent candidate George Wallace “to save the country from democracy.” Bailey said he favored a republic in which elected officials, including electors, have the power to decide.

The following year, the General Assembly passed a law to prevent such “faithless electors,” as they are known. In addition to North Carolina, 28 other states mandate that electors vote for the candidate who won the state.

“We serve as ministers of the will of the people of North Carolina,” Delk said. “We are not circuit breakers, as they are in some states.”

Mark Delk, a Republican elector from Asheville, estimates he has received between three thousand and four thousand letters, enough to fill to two postal cartons. Delk said he’s tried to read every one. Virtually all were form letters, he said.

“These people were exercising their First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances,” he said. “I would say about four or five were well-written, well-thought out letters.”

ELECTORAL COLLEGE INTIMIDATION - DEMS FORCING ELECTORS TO BACK HILLARY IS WHY SHE LOST

ELECTORAL COLLEGE INTIMIDATION:

ELITE DEMS TRYING TO FORCE ELECTORS TO SUPPORT HILLARY IS EXACTLY WHY SHE LOST NOV 8:

INCLUDING MANY BLACK VOTERS WHO WERE SICK & TIRED OF GOV'T CORRUPTION, UNEMPLOYMENT, INTIMIDATION AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Russia didn't help elect Trump.

It was American people who were tired of gov't Corruption and Propaganda from MSM.

The American people made their choice of whom they TRUST to lead our nation Nov 8, 2016.

Thus Trump's victory was legit!

This includes many, many BLACK people who publicly stated they were supporting HILLARY due to Fear but instead voted for Trump.

Black voters who publicly declared their support for Trump or any GOP candidates were Blacklisted & Punished. So they hid it until Nov 8.

Everyone and their Mother knew Trump had a 99% chance of winning but many were FORCED into believing LIES from MSM.

The only "FAKE NEWS" is Propaganda reported as "Factual" from MSM networks heavily funded by Obama Admin & Congress.

Elite DEMOCRATS trying to FORCE electors into flipping their support from Trump to Hillary is exactly why she LOST!

American voters who were sick & tired of Gov't Corruption, Intimidation, Unemployment,
Civil Liberties stripped supported Trump.

Trump's Team of Rivals shows STRONG Leadership. It also reveals Trump doesn't want to surround himself with "Yes men" and butt kissers.

****** Eric Bolling: 'Russia Didn't Elect Trump, America Did'

Saturday on Cashin' In, host Eric Bolling fired back at critics of President-elect Donald Trump who have questioned the legitimacy of his election victory.

Bolling listed the sequence of reasons that have been given to doubt Trump's election, from allegations of interference against FBI Director Jim Comey, to voter fraud in the Rust Belt, to Russian hacking.

He said the House Intelligence Committee canceled a closed-door meeting with electors after the CIA refused to make an official available to brief them on any evidence linked to Russia.

He questioned whether the agency found new evidence that absolves Moscow of any involvement, and cited a recent Fox News Poll that said 59 percent of voters thought Russia was not involved.

"The Russians didn't elect Donald Trump, America did," he said.

TRUMP'S 2016 VICTORY WAS DUE TO MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIAS

TRUMP'S 2016 VICTORY WAS DUE TO MEDIA BIAS:

"YOU NEVER CAN WIN WHEN YOU ARE DIRTY"

MAINSTREAM MEDIA PUNDITS WERE NOT ABLE TO STEAL THIS ELECTION FOR DEMS.

THE VOTERS & ELECTORAL COLLEGE GAVE TRUMP HIS VICTORY.

Exactly one week after Donald Trump was elected by the people, as our nation's 45th US President, Democrats and angry Hillary supporters are still scratching their heads in awe, wondering "HOW did this happen?"

Due to low voter turn out from Black voters who have historically supported Democrat presidential candidates, the Mainstream Media has tried to blame Hillary's defeat on Black voters.

However this synopsis couldn't be further from the truth.

In reality Trump's victory is due Mainstream Media BIAS against Trump during this campaign season.

In essence, the Media's ploy to demonize Trump
while building up Hillary backfired.

Thus today instead of praising a President Hillary Clinton, we are applauding President Donald J. Trump.

As NeNe Leakes once told her RHOA castmate Phaedra Parks "You never can win when you are dirty honey!"

Congrats to Mr Trump and God Bless!
