FOX's Krauthammer: Trump committed "Political Suicide"

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The third debate was an unmitigated disaster for Trump and the GOP; Trump's rejection of the democratic process can be in no manner defended.

 

[Correll]

Nah, FOX isn't crazy about Trump either. Lotta Democrats at FOX, and Charles is way more an establishment fan.

So. When did he deny "the legitimacy of the Democratic system"? He said he might not accept the results.

Given what's coming out of the Wikileaks releases, I might not either, and I am not alone by any means. That's decrying cheating, not denying legitimacy.

No, you are very wrong. He told countries around the world and voters around this country that a Democratic system where our votes should count is not to be trusted. He denied the legitimacy of this Republic, just as he has denied nine (9) women that accuse him of being a sexual assaulter.

"As long as Trump has a mouth, he will lose in November."

Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), is the United States Supreme Court decision that resolved the dispute surrounding the 2000 presidential election.

He has the RIGHT to dispute the result. The SCOTUS has the job to resolve the disputes. He knows his stuff.

Plus this in more full explanation.

BUSH v. GORE



Greg

Gore disputed the results in a single state and requested a recount. His legal objections related to attempts to restrict what could be counted

Trump is making broad, unsubstantiated accusations that the whole country is corrupt


Not the same

--LOL

a single state that if he could have forced a different outcome

he would have been president

--LOL

Had it been Trump he would have exhausted EVERY possible avenue; a real fighter. Gore let the Presidency slip.

Greg

No he didn't. He took the case to the Supreme Court. It was done at that point. His partisans in congress were being fools.

Indeed. The Court found that the FLSC had exceeded its authority, and Gore ran out of whiny time.

Then why was it Ok when Al Gore did it?

Why do Trump fans think it's okay to tell that lie? Especially when nobody is buying it, and it just makes them look whiny and dishonest.

Be specific.

Gore did contest it.

That is the point.

Ah, a fine backpedal.

You didn't say "contest it". You said (or replied to in the affirmative) that he "rejected the democratic process". Those are two entirely different things. Letting a recount happen _is_ the democratic process.

Exactly.
Dems have the right to contest but it seems Repubs don't.

Then why was it Ok when Al Gore did it?

1. Gore was entitled to and expected to ask for a recount
2. Gore did not say even before the voting began that he may not accept the outcome
3. Basically Comrade Trump is a 70 year old man with the temperament and maturity of a 9 year old, who has NEVER had anyone say NO to him before. He is a sociopathic fascist.

How would you really know if those things are really true or not?
Maybe if you know him personally.
Otherwise it's all assumptions and innuendos.
I don't think that a couple of his marriages would have lasted for years if he was really like that.

Trump said he would have to look into it at the time of the election, not may not accept the outcome.

Who's rejected the democratic process?

The Democratic primaries were rigged and only a fool would deny that. Trump tried to make the point that Clinton shouldn't even be allowed to run based on her illegal use of a personal server which jeopardized the security of the US. But the rigging of the primaries against Bernie Sanders with the willful assistance of the media betrayed the curtain of corruption that surrounds everything Clinton is associated with. Trump is not the only one who will not accept a corrupt and rigged election. More than half the population will reject it in ways we cannot predict. We better hope trump wins.

Or what, buster? No, most of the population is totally disgusted with Trump. He is a ego maniac, and stupid to boot. He never studied anything at all before the debates, and it showed in the debates. The man is unfit to be President, and will not be President based on his lack of willingness to work,

Gore won the popular vote. And the vote in Florida was extremely close. Come 8Nov16, Clinton will overwhelmingly win the popular vote and the electoral vote. If Trump comes on with his lies and trouble making, then it is time to take legal action on anything that results from that sedition.

 

[Ray9]

The kind of people who will vote for Trump are the kind who vote for themselves and their own best interests. The kind of people who will vote for Clinton are the kind who rely on others to tell them how to vote and rely on them to tell them what their best interests are. In other words Clinton voters are children and Trump voters are adults. Voters who never progress beyond being children will accept any kind of society that are told is good for them. The adults are charged with the task of building a society that works. Stay home my children.
