Trump beat Hillary more than a year ago but the left can't let it go – and it's harming our country
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
After the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed his razor-thin defeat in the 2000 presidential election, former Vice President Al Gore could have gone to the mat trying to delegitimize the presidency of George W. Bush. Much to his credit, he didn’t.
Democrat Gore had won the popular vote, after all, and the turmoil created by the historic 36-day recount in Florida was all he needed to divide the country for selfish and ideological reasons. But instead of orchestrating a radical leftist resistance, Gore chose country over power.
As difficult as it must have been, Gore was big enough to let it go, accept his loss, and recognize that Republican Bush was the legitimate president of the United States.
In a constitutional republic like ours, every two years there are winners and losers at the ballot box. After a rigorous debate and exchange of ideas, “We the People” make the ultimate decision about who will do the governing until the next election.
Historically, the party that loses the previous election licks its wounds, reboots its message and works with the majority party on issues where common ground can be found. This recipe that is the American miracle has worked remarkably well for 230 years – until now.
Now there’s a permanent Democratic obstruction campaign in Washington and a radical socialist resistance across the country. What’s driving this?
Never before in American history have disgruntled leaders of the minority party sought to deligimitmize and bring down a duly elected president of the United States.
It’s been over 20 months since President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the historic election of November 2016, but the left will not let it go and it’s doing great damage to our country.
From twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to former CIA Director John Brennan to actor Robert DeNiro to fake news, deranged leftists are determined to try to bring down a presidency. Their attacks are based on a false narrative and they don’t care if they tank our country and system of government in the process.
Just this past weekend, Hillary Clinton continued to question President Trump’s allegiance to America while speaking about his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton pushed the centerpiece of the Democratic agenda – Russia – when she disingenuously asked her audience: “Why didn’t he (Trump) stand up for our country? In this case it doesn’t seem like our president cares. He’s trying to be friends with Putin for reasons we are all trying to figure out.”
Hillary Clinton is a lot of things. She’s dishonest; she’s the embodiment of entrenched power and the failed Washington status quo; and of course, she’s crooked. However, one thing she’s not is stupid.
Clinton knows full well that Christopher Steele’s phony dossier is a steaming pile of political crap because she paid for the opposition research herself. She also knows that her cronies in the Obama administration pushed the fake dossier through official intelligence, diplomatic and law enforcement channels because a President Hillary Clinton would have rewarded the swamp creatures handsomely.
This is why Brennan and his deep state ilk are running around labeling the leader of the free world a traitor – just because President Trump ruined Hillary’s coronation and swept them all from power.
Clinton also knows that she started her service as Obama’s secretary of state with the failed Russia “reset” in an effort to improve relations between our two countries. She spent four years cozying up to Russia in search of a foreign policy success to hang her hat on and to line her husband’s pockets and the Clinton Foundation with Russian cash.
Hillary relies on her allies in the anti-Trump media to gloss over that wrinkle in their concocted narrative. But the resistance doesn’t stop with her political and media pals. She’s also got Hollywood in full war mode.
The once-respected actor Robert DeNiro goes ballistic and screams “f--- Trump!” at a televised award ceremony. Wealthy comedian Bill Maher waxes on about how great an economic recession would be for Democratic chances to retake power – ignoring the fact that a recession would hurt millions of hardworking American families.
These and other Trump-haters make it clear that the left is united in its effort to get rid of President Trump – no matter what.
Unfortunately for the agenda-less liberals, the Trump economy is on fire and this Friday’s report on the gross domestic product will confirm what the American people already know: President Trump’s pro-growth economic program is working and the results are exceeding all expectations.
It’s a dangerous game being played by national Democratic leaders and it’s not without consequences. Whether it’s turning their backs on our police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, or attempting to provoke a war with Russia, the Democrats have become totally unhinged.
Will any adults in the Democratic Party show some leadership and say it’s time to move past 2016 once and for all? Or will they continue their sad and destructive decline into Third World chaos and socialism?
Make no mistake, Hillary Clinton is fueling the resistance and encouraging others to join in because she can’t get over losing, despite the fact that she pledged to accept the results of the election. It’s still all about Hillary – America be damned.

It seems we are about to receive a non stop bombardment of bamboozling from the right.
I will tell you what is fueling the "resistance" to Donald trump, but first let me say that the author of this "opinion" piece, David Bossie, is a buddy and confidante of the alt right and a Trump insider. He is not remotely a honest pundit or journalist. In other words, this piece is literally propaganda from state run media (Fox News).

Meet the GOP’s Shady Partisan Hit Man: How Dirty Trickster David Bossie Is Ruining Politics
======================================================
Donald Trump is being met with resistance because he is the most unqualified and disqualified presidential candidate in history. The fact that he won the electoral college vote does not change an iota of that.
The idea that people who love this country would just say "oh he won, let's move on" , at the time of the election or at any time since is laughable. Trump will NEVER be accepted. If that pinches Bossie's shorts, so be it.
We havent seen anything yet. Wait until the laws close in on him.
I disagree with this premise.
they are doing all the same things they did before trump won
and guess what? trump still won. (which has been good for our country)
all the left is doing now? is making sure trump gets re-elected. how can that be bad?
I encourage them to continue
no one with any sense listened to the left before the election and it is very unlikely they will suddenly start now.
Actually Trump did not beat Hillary. A flawed electoral process aided by foreign 'investments' altered the direction of the nation.
The real question is this. Is Donald Trump an enigma, a mistake or simply a 'real Manchurian Candidate?'
Harm to our country? For one thing, more coal ash into the streams and environment is not good for our country. And there are more things too. Americans should be especially proud that now seeking safety or asylum in our nation is a crime and the government can seize children without recompense. Wrap the flag around that.
complete bs.. but very funny indeed
here is a hint:
the electoral college worked as designed and russia did not change any votes.
what altered the direction of our nation? finally, enough people of this country got fed up with +60yrs of politicians selling us out from both sides of the isle. now? the jig is up. that +60yr old paradigm has been crushed and there is no comeback on the schedule.
cheers
LOL
I remember all the way back to when hillary wanted to end illegal immigration.
cracks me up
What "cracks me up" is that some people don't know the difference between racism and inhumane practices -vs- strengthening and fixing policies.
as long as your having fun with that? enjoy
Doesn't Trump also want to end illegal immigration? Isn't that one of his famous incoherent rants?
Hell. I remember less than 2 years ago they were basically calling everyone insinuating the election would be unfair bat shit crazy and were being lead by none other than BO himself LMFAOOOOOO!. Funny how they do a 180 as soon as they start losing their shit isn't it?
They also knew about Russian interference in BOTH CHAMPAGNES and didn't do a thing about it. I think they thought it wasn't a problem. Hell after giving them all that Uranium they probably thought they were on the DNC's side LMAO!
Actually according to the Constitution and the laws of the land and the rules governing the election of the president he most certainly did beat Hillary and rather handily. No matter how much you try to deny it that is the fact .
I've already explained that to bb1, but the response I received back was incoherent. I can't even say it was ignorant because it was like my explanation was printed in white ink on the comment.
That's one of the most hilarious comments I've read on social media!
Trump didn't beat Hillary? The EC process is "flawed"? Since when?
Newsflash - the Electoral College has existed for a lonnnnnng time and it only became "flawed" in some people's minds after Hillary lost in 2016.
As the article states ...
The 2016 legitimate, duly-elected POTUS is Donald J. Trump. PERIOD.
And, this wasn't the first time that the loser had more popular votes than EC votes. The first was John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson:
And, Andrew Jackson's loss to John Quincy Adams is still the largest percentage margin for the winner of the popular vote to lose the EC. No one complained then about the EC not following the desire of the people.
Got a link ?
You look for links from 1824. The best you will find is possibly microfiche from then in the public library.
And 4.5.2 tomwcraig
From your link:
The 12th Amendment was ratified over 214 years ago in June 1804. I truly don't understand why so many people insist on remaining ignorant and are still whining about Hillary's EC loss.
The "links" are archived newspapers from the 1800s, so you'll have to scroll through hundreds of them. We didn't have Internet in the 19th century.
What ? Why me ? You are the person who stated "No one complained back then", I just wanted to know for sure you knew what you were talking about considering I doubt you were alive at the time so, I figured you had links.
lol
No kidding that's about what I thought, So I found it funny someone was citing info from centuries ago to make their point when no one even alive knows the attitude from that time on the subject at hand. I figured perhaps they really had a link to back them up.
...LOL.... I guess everyone is just so used to us all belonging and supporting one party or the other. As an independent I cant stand either party or most of the people they put forth to have control over me.
I say take the damn big money out of our elections and give this land back to the masses.
There is a reason no one complained. The EC didn’t elect anyone in that election. It was the House that voted in John Quincy Adams:
.
As noted, the EC was not used to elect Adams, a House vote was, so that part of the original statement was misleading however the second part, ( No one complained then about the EC not following the desire of the people . ), is also incorrect since Adams victory became know historically as "The Corrupt Bargain" .
.
.
So the Presidential election of 1824 was not decided by the EC and the results were so highly detested at the time that the win became an historical bench mark for outrage,kind of like Whitewater or Iran-Contra or "The Corrupt Bargain!".
I guess other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play!?
Oh waahhh! Trump won fair and square so just deal with it and move on!!!! Better luck in 2020.
1) "The left" does not exist. There is no equivalent to the standardization found on the right, metronomed by Fox News.
2) Leftish media have pretty much forgotten about Hillary. Last year's news.
3) Rightish media, as relayed here on NT by the Usual Suspects, runs stories about Hillary every day.
So... other than having everything wrong, the seed is not too bad...
Yeah check out these recent Hillary stories and no this is not right wing media.
These are reporting. When a former Presidential candidate speaks on current events, the media report.
Where’s the reporting on Gary Johnson?
Leftists have no idea who he is or what he’s doing because MSM is still busy fluffing Hillary.
Who?
Bases loaded home run!
If you know who he is, why did you ask in comment 5.1.3 :
Believe Weld would have elevated the Libertarian message...Johnson blew it on the campaign trail displaying lack of knowledge regarding foreign issues.
I know exactly who Gary Johnson is as I voted for him for president. I kind of wish he had won.
Of course I have, Tessy. I must have not seen the /sarc tag on your comment. Oh, wait ... there wasn't one.
You don't know? Ask Gary Johnson because he's had 2+ years to learn all about it.
Aleppo is a place we shouldn't even care about; except for Obama/Hillary's moronic plan to destabilize yet another country and remove a Russian ally. Things in Syria are definitely better off since Obama and Hillary stuck their noses where they didn't belong.
Kind of like Bush with Iraq and Obama with Libya. Saddam & Gaddafi were evil brutal dictators; but remove them and what comes after them is far, far, worse. You cannot force democracy on a country that has never know it- it has to be their decision; and happen within their time frame.
Things could be worse. Force a no fly zone over Syria, and bomb all air fields, in Syria Hillary could be in charge. She who never met a military confrontation she didn't like (armchair warrior syndrome), seems to forget that Russia and China have ships anchored in Syrian waters, and planes using Syrian airfields and sharing Syrian skies.
But WWIII would look good on her resume; and she would ensure being the last POTUS ever.
It wasn't needed by those in the know.
Denial is a terrible thing...
It's sad to be so lacking in ideas as to need to use those of the opposition.
No kidding, we see it every day when the base believes what Trump tells them to believe, regardless of what they see and hear. I wish the rightists (I guess that's the new lingo) could just let Hillary go, nobody else thinks about her. Trump is the focus because that's what happens in that position. How can we have a meaningful conversation about a deflection?
Just like teapublicans did from 01/20/2009 - 01/20/2017.
Amazing the short memory some have and how they're all about "working together" now. I wonder what the demographic is of those who are now promoting a newly desired Kumbaya.........
We will have to disagree.
You mean during the time when they went to the voting booths and replaced over one thousand Democrat politicians? I don't recall them telling anyone to harass the other side, get in their faces or destroy anything. Only the Radical Left are known throughout history for doing that.
Anyone who says that Donald Trump should be "accepted" is out of their mind. Who the hell "accepts" a pathological liar?
Well then you must have been in a coma. Your amnesia is suspect and convenient. We use to be able to hold at minimum an honest conversation even if we disagreed.
Democrats nominated one for president.
No one compares to Trump. No one is even close. No one is even in the same galaxy.
I'd say BOTH parties put forth horrible candidates in the end. America didn't have ANY GOOD options as I see it.
Unfortunately what we ended up with IMO sucks and would have either way. But trump's words are not to be trusted. To me that really siucks, I like to be able to trust what a president tells me.
All I can do is hope for better luck on having at least ONE decent honest person to vote for next time. Deeds to me are not good enough. I was raised to say what I mean and to stand behind what I say. I dont respect people who don't do either. and hopefully I never will.
So, I am hoping for better luck next time.... (But, I'm not holding my breath either)
Trump lead us into war over Hillary? WTF- did any of her supporters ever listen to her talk about foreign policy? After Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc- she never a met a military action she didn't support.
As for domestic. Ignoring fly over country and catering to the leftist coasts- no, that wouldn't have pissed anyone off. She would just label them all deplorables and continue to sell everyone in the US out to line her family vaults. I am sure several countries are thankful they no longer need to fund the Clinton Foundation (personal piggy bank). Nor do they have to open their wallets/purses for $500,000 plus speaking engagements from Bill- just to get a message to Hillary. Women all over the planet are relieved that Bill will not be able to sexually harass as easily.
I know the left likes to romanticize Obama's 8 years; but blaming Bush for his entire presidency; stating people who didn't agree with him , "cling to their bible, religion, and guns"; and calling Republicans the "enemy that needs to be punished" in a speech to illegals. It wasn't all peaches and cream for a good portion of the population. Which is why voters moved to restrict Obama's power with a Republican House and Senate; and even further by electing them enmasse at the state and local levels.
Of course Bush was no better labeling anyone that didn't agree with his wars traitors, or weak, etc.
Trump talks without regard to whether his statements are true of false. Hillary deliberately lies and she’s been lying for 40 years. When it comes to liars, she has no equal in this galaxy or any other. I didn’t vote for either one but, with Democrats rapidly becoming unhinged, I have to consider voting for Trump as a bulwark against insanity.
These and other Trump-haters make it clear that the left is united in its effort to get rid of President Trump – no matter what.
It's a moral disease. It's kind of what the Russian's saw when they realized how easily this nation could be divided......It was quite easy.
How strange you should say that. Isn't the right aligned to "get" Hillary any way they can? And she's not even President.

What is a mental illness? Is an overwhelming obsession a mental illness? Is the inability to accept the things one can not change a mental illness? Is the desire to destroy a mental illness?
I stand corrected
Not really too sure of your case, "razor thin defeat" after winning the popular vote. Trump only pulled about 80,000 votes from 3 critical states to win the electoral and lost the popular vote. Gore won the popular vote. Obama won both the electoral and the popular vote twice. The "tea party" did not propel McCain/Palin to victory, nor did it propel Romney to victory.
The Tea Party didn't exist then.
nor did it propel Romney to victory.
It couldn't help Romney, the IRS destroyed it the year before
Democrats are trying to register illegal aliens to vote in local elections while simultaneously swearing that those same illegal aliens can’t/didn’t vote for President. They do that in conjunction with saying that the popular vote should take precedence over the electoral vote, knowing that it would shift voting power to the coastal looney bins that call themselves sanctuary cities. Now why would anyone be skeptical of their motives? /s
This is on top of preaching gender cofusion, supporting abortion on demand, advocating the abolishment of ICE, trying to give illegal aliens de facto citizenship, supporting fascist tactics like stalking//intimidating/assaulting the opposition, clogging the streets wearing pussy hats etc. They’re completely unhinged and cant figure out why people would vote for Trump unless Putin made them do it.
Is it 5 o'clock where you're at.....cause you've clearly been sipping on something. I couldn't get beyond the first sentence. Usually you lull me in with some pretty reasonable points before you throw in the comedy.
I’m high on reality, baby. San Francisco allows illegal aliens to vote in school board elections and it’s not the only one.
Sometimes I find headlines hilarious, this is one
"Trump Beat Hillary More Than A Year Ago But The Left Can't Let It Go – And It's Harming Our Country"
Hypocrisy is hilarious !! Here we have a conservative biased article complaining about people holding on to their beliefs.
"The left can't let it go." Yet it's the rightists that keep bringing it up...just like this article.. Fox news STILL runs Hillary conspiracy/fake news stories every single day, (twice a day when donny does something more stupid than usual). But the LEFT can't let it go? LMFAO
😂😂😂😂😂
