Clinton Campaign Announced Over the Weekend that it Will Join the Green Party Recount Effort
So much for a peacful transition...
But lets face it, like Mat Vespa said over at Townhall.com:
"When the president of the United States says it’s time to concede, you know you’ve probably lost"."Moreover, the Obama administration, who has heavily criticized Russia for trying to influence the 2016 presidential race, said that there was no unusual cyber activity that would suggest any hacking occurred on election night, and that the results reflect the will of the people. Data crunchers and analysts fromFiveThirtyEight, The New York Times, and The Cook Political Report have all pretty much scoffed at the notion that the results were skewed due to outside influences, especially in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan."
Nevertheless, these shoddy concerns, were the basis for the for Green Party candidate Jill Steins effort to launch a recount effort in these three states. Wisconsin now saying they’re moving forward with it—and now, suprise, the Clinton campaign is joining in on the party.
So, what about all that talk about accepting the results of an election? NBC News has the latest act of saving face by the Clinton campign:
Hillary Clinton's campaign said Saturday it intends to back the statewide election recount effort in the battleground state of Wisconsin spearheaded by third-party candidate Jill Stein.The Clinton team had been quiet about Stein's crusade, but campaign lawyer Marc Elias said that because a recount was set into motion Friday — and could begin as soon as next week — they want to see a "fair" process for all involved"Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves," Elias wrote in a Medium post explaining the decision, "but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides."
In short: the Clinton campaign, like everyone else that hasn’t been sniffing glue, knows that there’s nothing to these allegations of hacking with this recount exercise.
THey also know that there’s nothing that they could challenge, but now that one has successfully been filed—they’re all onboard...
These antics are (again) an exercise in abject cruelty that’s being inflicted on liberals by the Green Party and now the Democratic Party elites. As Dave Weigel noted in Washington Post, a recount wouldn’t uncover any evidence of hacking if there were any and many view this as a waste of time.
NBC added that Stein is hoping to raise $7 million for this effort - which will help her fill her coffers so she may stay relevent on the national stage, post the election exitment. She's obviously succeing, as she has been able to raise over $5.7 million - as this past weekend.
Interestingly, this whole clownfest has taken a turn to the bizzar, as the Green Party has been rather clear in thier objection to the Clinton campaign joining their recount effort.
Why would Hillary Clinton—who holds "public" and "private" positions—want to engage in something as transparent as #Recount2016?
Why would Hillary Clinton—who conceded the election to Donald Trump—want #Recount2016? You cannot be on-again, off-again about democracy.
Election integrity cannot be led by a party w/o integrity, just as a revolution cannot happen in a counterrevolutionary party. #Recount2016
It was rather obvious that liberals were shell shocked over
President-elect Donald Trump’s upset win over Hillary Clinton, but I’d never
thought it would be this extensive - or that the infighting would reach such
obscure levels...
This is pretty pathetic. The
campaign couldn’t find legitimate evidence to suggest hacking swayed the
election, or any credible evidence of irregularities, in order to petition
for a recount of their own, but they’re going to allow a third-party outlet to
be the sacrificial lamb. As pointed out by Matt
Vespa This is just sore loser
syndrome.
But unlike Vespa - who is a
#NeverTrumper, and would like to think that Clinton lost because she "was
a terrible candidate who didn’t excite anyone on the Left—and that showed with
the depressed turnouts in Democratic bastions in the key areas of the states
that are being targeted for recounts by Stein" - I believe it would have not
mattered who the #Libtards had nominated, the American people had enough, and
were rather ready for some change - which in this case, after eight failed
years of Obama, was to reject the liberal agenda and give Trumps nationalistic
route a try.
Michael Moore aptly noted how the
people of Flint felt stabbed in the back when Obama drank the water in a
much-publicized media event, told the press that all is well, and then everyone
left.
The photo op was taken. Mission
accomplished.
Yeah, and these folks are a) going
to get excited about voting; and b) vote for the party that just took away the
media attention on their plight. Sure.
It seemed to be another example of
the elites ignoring the working class. Economic conditions haven’t gotten
better under Obama and the Democrats, so why vote for them? Clinton ended up
getting over 26,000 fewer votes than Obama this cycle.
Fact is, Clinton performed badly in the
urban areas, Trump dominated the rural counties.
But while Vespa and his ilk would
like to point out that Clinton blew it in these counties, in contrast to other
potential liberal candidates. The fact that Trump won - a flawed candidate in
his own right - showed that many voters were looking to reject the left, no
matter what manifestation it would have formed - that’s right, I think that
even Bernie would have lost, badly.
Liberals and #NeverTrumpers need to
understand that while Clinton was a terrible campaigner, who ignored millions
of voters, the millions of Obama supporters who flipped for Trump in these
states, did so because they were looking for change.
And when I mean change, I mean Trump
change, where America comes first, not Sanders change, where progressive Marxism
reign supreme
Yet, for all its worth, this recount drama is just
beginning. On Monday, Stein is expected to file a recount petition in Michigan,
while in Pennsylvania, the deadline for a recount has passed. Stein will
have to challenge the results in court, according to The New York Times.
Oh, and Stein is interested in other states
where deadlines for recounts haven’t passed. This is just a total clown show.
I will do a recount in any state where the deadline has not passed. Help my staff find state deadlines: ceimn.org#Recount2016
