During the presidential debates, moderator Chris Wallace asked candidate Donald Trump a pointed question: Win or lose, will you accept the results of the November election? Trump’s answer: “I’ll keep you in suspense,” later adding he would accept them “if I win.” Naturally, Democrats instantly went ape. “Horrifying,” said Hillary Clinton (who was not asked the same question). “He’s talking down our democracy, and I, for one, am appalled
Not that appalled, as things turned out.
In the wake of their shocking loss, Democrats and their fellow travelers in the media have mounted a frantic, and increasingly deracinated, campaign to deny Trump the fruits of his victory in the Electoral College and thus overturn the election by any means necessary, fair or foul.
The recounts failed, so now it’s on to the Russians. Unsourced speculation from “sources” inside the CIA says Russian agents hacked John Podesta’s emails from the Democratic National Committee, according to “bombshell” reports in the Washington Post and New York Times.
Except that was the same “bombshell” that Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security, and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said on the record in October. The same “bombshell” that had Joe Biden acting like John Wayne, saying the US was going to retaliate. “We’re sending a message. We have the capacity to do it. And the message — he’ll know it,” Biden said about Vladimir Putin on “Meet the Press.”
No proof was offered then, or now, that Russia was involved. But it’s not as though voters weren’t aware of the speculation before the election, as some Democrats and columnists claim.
So what’s changed? Now Democrats and their media allies are in panic mode, looking for something, anything, to try to change the results. Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid even said in an interview with the Huffington Post that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians. His proof? He doesn’t have any; just like when he lied about Mitt Romney paying no taxes. He says he’s not sorry for that; after all, he got what he wanted — Mitt lost.
