Gee, Why Can’t Trump Accept Defeat Like the Democrats?

She nails it. Damn, they kept up an attack on the Reagan win in 1980 for years, as they have done with the 2016 Trump win.


In 1980, Democratic President Jimmy Carter lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan, 489-49 in the Electoral College. So naturally, Democrats concluded that Reagan had committed treason in order to steal the election, to wit: His campaign had conspired with Iranian ayatollahs to prevent 52 American hostages from being released until after the election.
And who can blame them? Carter’s economic policies had produced a 21% interest rate, a 17% mortgage rate and a 15% inflation rate in the coveted “hat trick” of presidential incompetence. His brilliant strategic ploy of abandoning the Shah of Iran had led to a 154% spike in oil prices and Islamic lunatics seizing our embassy and holding Americans hostage in Tehran, where they remained for 444 days, until Carter was safely removed from office.
With all that going for them — plus that old Mondale magic –Democrats were dumbstruck that they lost the 1980 election. What other than a dirty trick could explain it?
The Democrats’ theory was that a month before the election, members of Reagan’s campaign had clandestinely met with representatives of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Paris and offered to sell him weapons in exchange for a promise not to release the hostages, thus denying Carter a huge election eve triumph.
In other words, liberals believed the Islamo-fascist cutthroats who had been toying with Carter like a cat with a ball of yarn wanted Carter replaced by someone stronger, like Reagan. How else to explain the fact that, minutes after Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were released?
...
The lunatics behind the “October Surprise” conspiracy theory might have spent their days in obscurity, talking to super-computers of the future — as one theorist claimed she did — except that, after a decade of periodic eruptions in in disreputable publications like The New York Times (Flora Lewis, August 1987), The Nation (Christopher Hitchens, July 1987), and Playboy magazine (September 1988), the Times began flogging the story in 1991, beginning with a lengthy op-ed by Columbia University professor Gary Sick.
Sick had been President Carter’s principal aide on Iran during the hostage crisis, which would be like being FDR’s chief adviser on “sneak attacks” in December 1941. Columbia hired Sick as a professor, apparently unable to find Carter’s aide in charge of gas prices.
Soon, other news outlets such as PBS’s “Frontline” and ABC’s “Nightline” began treating crazies howling at the moon as if they were serious intel sources. Carter himself called for a “blue-ribbon” commission to investigate, saying, “it’s almost nauseating to think that this could be true.” (Which is ironic because that was my reaction, word for word, upon learning that Carter had been elected president.)
...
One of the key American “witnesses” to the conspiracy — and Hitchens’ main source — was paranormal expert Barbara Honegger, who said she heard voices from the future and that satellites were directed to part the clouds during Reagan’s inauguration so that the sun would shine only on him. Years later, Honegger promoted the theory that clocks stopped at the Pentagon at 9:32 a.m. on 9/11, proving that the plane could not have hit at 9:37.
So she was a credible source.
Another major player was fake CIA agent Richard Brenneke, who was about to be fired from his lucrative job with a left-wing think tank for failing to substantiate a different conspiracy theory: that Vice President Bush was running an Israeli-backed drugs-for-arms operation in Central America. To stave off his firing, Brenneke suddenly remembered that not only had he heard of the October Surprise, he had been there! A LaRouchite confirmed that he had seen Brenneke at the meeting — something Brenneke himself had not remembered until that very moment.
One by one, each of the Reagan campaign aides allegedly at the imaginary Paris meeting had their precise locations proved for nearly every minute of the crucial dates of Oct. 17-19, when the sources claimed the secret meeting had taken place.
Then it turned out Brenneke wasn’t at the nonexistent meeting, either. Signed credit card receipts proved he was at a Star Trek convention in Seattle on Oct. 17-19. Just kidding! It was a martial-arts tournament.
...
At the conclusion of the House’s investigation, Rep. Lee Hamilton, the House Democrat who had chaired the October Surprise Task Force, wrote an op-ed in The New York Times, saying: “The task force report concluded there was virtually no credible evidence to support the accusations.”
On the same day, the Times published a rebuttal op-ed by Gary Sick.
And that, kids, is how you concede a presidential election with grace and dignity.


Everyone says they have no proof.....LOL!!!
They had to go to Germany to get the proof.....but the now have the proof.....and people are going to go to jail over this.

 
Like it never crossed democrats’ minds that Carter’s granting asylum to the shah and pouring gasoline on the revolution fire might have had some impact on those Iranian goat-fuckers releasing the hostages once Carter was removed?
Not pro-Reagan but more anti-Carter.

When should we see the first arrests? Just give a time frame so we can compare notes.... A year? Six Month? Next week?
 
The democrats are used to losing. Trump is only experienced in pretending he's never lost.

They just had Obama in for 8 years. But you think they could of come up with some one better then Biden. What a joke. I guess since they new they were cheating, they thought they could win with anybody. I guess they thought wrong. They got stung. ;) :D

Carter was a complete f'up as a president-------he had no choice but to concede...as you pointed out, he was overwhelmingly pushed out of office by voters---long before votes could be flipped by machines btw.........and back before the illegals got to vote. There wasn't hundreds of thousands of people lining up to support peanut for brains when he left.

Carter did want to expose the aliens though. They never let him.lol!
 
In 2000 Dimocrats screamed that Bush stole the election. They insisted Bush's brother Jeb, the governor of Florida with the help of family friend Katherine Harris the Secretary of State of Florida, made sure the vote counting stopped just in time to claim Bush won the state and thus the election.
Four years later Dimocrats claimed the election was stolen again, when irregularities showed up in Ohio.
In 2016 they claimed Trump colluded with and stole the election with the help of Russia, and it's been a non-stop drumbeat for four years, even going so far as impeachment.
Here in 2020, as recent as a month ago there were claims by Dimocrats that the postal service was going to steal the election for Trump.

Now that Biden has been declared the winner, suddenly, Dimocrats claim the election went without a hitch, and everything was 100% accurate and there was no attempt to steal anything.
