Trump and his team are now starting to realize that a recount in WI, MI and PA will disrupt the electoral college process and push the 2016 election into the hands of Congress while drawing the legitimacy of Trump's presidency into question. This whole process of being appointed by Congress, combined with a loss of the popular vote, would then cast a dark shadow over their administration.

Keep hope alive. E

.......for its truly undemocratic nature. Imagine the House having to elect our next POTUS, then think about the tens of millions of anti Trump voters that will turn out in Washington to protest Trump on Inauguration Day. This is going to be an epic Inauguration event for the ages.

and maybe Trump is just going to resign from office before even taking the oath of office like so many of you have been predicting.

I really need some of whatever you are smoking.  

.....then the House picks the POTUS and of course they will elect Trump, with HRC winning the popular vote by over 2 million votes. Pray tell me how you think Trump will now have a "mandate" to upend popular programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security etc. FYI, Obama care has 20 million enrollee's receiving various government subsidies, that should be very easy to repeal..lol. This latest recount effort is one way to destroy our electoral system of deciding Presidents and the Clinton's and their political machinery are solidly behind this recount. Just to remind you, two days before Nov 8th, you had resigned yourself to a Trump loss. The only guy who quite accurately predicted a win by Trump was Nnoway.

And the Senate will block him from doing it unless the Reps use the "nuclear option."  Several have said they won't do it. We'll see if they change their minds.  It all depends on how Schumer plays his cards.  If Harry Reid were still there it would be a different story but he rides off into the sunset at the end of this session.

It won't disrupt anything Clinton already accepted defeat.

You are correct about Schumer, I don't like the guy (naturally) but he is a thousand times better than Harry Reid and I do believe he and Trump will find some common ground on some issues, but on some of the more divisive issues, gridlock will rule. Personally I am fine with that.

Just learned George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz will be on the View Monday morning with BREAKING NEWS. Appears millions of missing votes have been discovered and they're still searching for more, proving they were correct all along.  

This recount effort is just to show how ridiculously outdated the electoral college process has become.

& talked about her carrying Fla.

I'd do away with the electoral process for Presiden.

GaG, based on recent precedent ( which, this election year, is a shaky guideline to rely on ) you repeatedly say that the Trump naysayers will be proved wrong. Of course, the same could be applied to you if things don't work out, a distinct possibility. He has terrible structural flaws : he's gonna wind up 2.5 million popular votes behind the 8 ball & he's perceived as an unstable bigot by millions. The fact that he beat 17 GOP candidates & HRC shows that he has a great deal of predatory "street smarts" or "business shrewdnes"s to convince millions of rubes to vote for a con man. However, using his business" intelligence" to campaign & using intellect ( another form of intelligence ) to govern is another matter entirely. When it comes to the incredibly complex job of being POTUS, he's intellectually bankrupt & doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

I think we can both agree that being a great campaigner or a great politician doesn't translate into being a great leader. Where it comes to experience Trump has a hell of a lot more experience than the man he is succeeding when he took the job.

lol, better tell the lefties that.

... but I think the country could get by with out it.

And guys like Salty think he is smarter than the founders.

Remember Cheesy he WON white woman by a staggering 53-43.

Trump is a dolt..

The recount is certainly showing how important "battleground states" can be.

As a state California has no ability to simply print worthless money with which to pay their unfunded obligations.  

I left in 2013 for similar reasons and have no desire to return other than the very occasional visit.
It wasn't just the ineptness of Grey Davis and the Sacto Scumbags though they did make it easy for Kenneth Lay and Enron to suck the life out of California. To this day, I am still convinced George W Bush with a nod and a wink looked the other way as his Texas cronies raped California of its 50 billion dollar surplus, turning it into a deficit from which the state never really recovered.  

When all States must certify their elections for President and VP. I know that closer date is even better for you that want to create chaos but get it right.

The geniuses in Sacramento thought they could regulate natural gas produced and consumed in California, but thought they could through legislative action dictate how the free market in other states and even other countries could operate. Those dipshits ended up costing their states tens of Billions of dollars when they found themselves paying an extra $4-5 per mmbtu than anyone else by boxing themselves into these higher prices through their own ineptitude.
