The Art of the Steal Dems Set Stage for 2020 Nov 13 2018
RUSH: Okay. Then, here we are. Nosotros're sitting hither one calendar week afterwards the elections, and in Florida the elections are all the same going on, or at least the count, the recount, the search, the quest for votes continues unabated. Georgia besides. Even though Stacey Abrams finds herself down by one and a half percent and tens of thousands of votes, they are still looking for votes, counting every vote.
Are you tired of that mantra yet? "We must count every vote," as though somebody is trying not to count every vote. Y'all could say the same thing nigh Arizona, except Martha McSally has conceded and her number ane praiseworthy advocate is Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, who says this is how Republicans need to act. When they lose, they need to concede. Obviously, McSally cares well-nigh being a practiced citizen and being a good American, and she did what all practiced Republicans should do, and that is concede.
I'chiliad non making information technology up. This is essentially what he said afterward McSally conceded the race. And so how come up it isn't Democrats never concede, or when they practise concede, they withdraw the concession? You know, Algore conceded in 2000. He pulled it back. Andrew Gillum and Bill Nelson conceded one week ago today. Maybe the next day they pulled it back. And then even when Democrats practise concede, they unconcede within only a few hours.
Exercise you call up — this is a long time ago, folks. It may be outside your memory. Do you lot call back back when the Drive-Bys and the rest of the Democrat Political party were then upset about Russia stealing an ballot? Call back how nosotros needed a special counsel for that? You may not know that, merely in that location's a special counsel investigating whether or non the Russians stole the election in 2016. In fact, that special counsel investigation is yet going on, for two years. Even though they haven't constitute any evidence, there is an ongoing investigation about whether or not an ballot was stolen, because the Democrats are so concerned about the integrity of our elections.
And so, Mueller continues his quest to try to find evidence that Trump is non the legitimate winner, that Hillary Clinton was. And however, they don't intendance about an ballot existence stolen in Florida because they're the ones trying to commit the theft! So, I guess when a Republican wins an ballot it's perfectly fine to allege the election was stolen or that it was the result of bunco. But when the Democrats attempt to steal an election, it'south justice, it's just the mode things ought to be.
So which political party is it that will not have the results of elections? Which political party is information technology trying to undermine our faith in the elections? And, by the way, exercise you recall what's going on in Florida is really all about these ii races here, the governor race and the Senate race? I mean, information technology is, but in that location's something much bigger at stake as well, and that's 2020.
I remember if nosotros stick at this long enough and we dig deep enough to find out what they're actually doing here, I retrieve the Democrats are trying to set the stage for some kind of ballot police change or adjustment that they call back they're gonna need in 2020. You know, Florida is perennially close, similar Ohio is, and I think that the focus on the recounts here for Nelson and Scott and Gillum and DeSantis is actually intended to go along our attention distracted from what may really – I don't know what it is. Do not misunderstand, I cannot specify what might exist going on, but I can tell you lot all nosotros have to do, if you lot remember things are normal in Florida, take a look at this. This is not normal. This is abnormal.
Deadlines are being missed. We have an ballot supervisor who has already been constitute guilty of screwing around with ballots and she'south still on the chore. The point about Jeb Bush-league, by the way. There was a lunatic before Brenda Snipes. Her name was Miriam Oliphant, and she was in in that location, and she was just as bad. In Broward Canton, she was merely as bad equally Snipes. Do yous remember Miriam Oliphant? Approximate who appointed both of them? The Jebber. Jeb Bush.
Why would yous do that? Well, the theory is that Broward is a majority Democrat county, and so nosotros have to engage a Democrat Board of Elections director down there. We have to name one. It'due south an elected position simply then there's an opening, in that location'south an appointment involved. This is classic, to show the Democrats and to show voters that nosotros are off-white and equitable, and nosotros realize that it's a canton where more people are gonna vote against the states than for united states of america, and so we're gonna acknowledge this.
Somehow this is supposed to buy us goodwill from leftists and Democrat voters. It's supposed to evidence us it'due south a directly contrast with Trump. It's supposed to show voters that we're reasonable and that we're nonthreatening and that we're really nonpartisan and that we are nice and warm and fuzzy, and and so what? That means some Democrats are gonna change their minds about u.s.a.? "You lot know what, these guys, they proceed appointing us, and then they can't be racists, bigots, sexists, homophobes." No. They're just laughing at us. What a bunch of doofuses.
Practice you call back the Democrats would ever appoint somebody in the opposite party in a position that mattered to them just to show us that they could be — they wouldn't intendance a whit about information technology, and of course Trump is simply like them in this regard. Trump is going to do what's best for him and his party at each and every turn, rather than trying to purchase the goodwill of political opponents.
And the reason this bothers me is because that is the essence of a defensive position. "Well, they think that we're X, then we have to testify them that we're not X. And then appointing one of them showing nosotros can be fair." It'south the reason why we agree with them on amnesty. It's the reason why some Republicans agree with Democrats on other controversial issues. And it never works. Information technology never has worked, because politics, contrary to what you say, is not most the art of compromise. Information technology may take been at once, just it's not now.
Politics is about the art of defeat and authorisation. And if you have leaders of a political party who don't know almost winning and defeating and dominating, then yous're always gonna exist disappointed.
Meanwhile, while all this is going on, the ballots go along to be found and counted and deadlines continue to come and go and Obama-appointed judges go on to tell everybody to tone down the rhetoric. The Democrats like Andrew Gillum are still repeating the mantra "count every vote." This "count every vote" montage that nosotros've put together has grown. Democrats and the media keep proverb it, and hither it is. Audio sound seize with teeth number ane. We've continued to add to it.
BAKARI SELLERS: In Georgia, Arizona, and Florida, Democrats have to have the aforementioned bulletin: just make sure every single vote is counted.
CHUCK SCHUMER: Every vote should be counted.
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Nosotros need to count the votes.
ED HENRY: Count all the votes.
MICHAEL SMERCONISH: I want every vote counted.
JANE HARMAN: Every vote has to be counted.
TOM PEREZ: Every vote must be counted.
CORNELL BELCHER: Count every vote.
CHERI BUSTOS: Every vote ought to count.
JENNIFER GRANHOLM: Permit every vote be counted.
ALI VELSHI: Why do you have to file a lawsuit for that? Shouldn't every vote just go counted?
MARIA TERESA KUMAR: At the end of mean solar day every single vote should count.
BILL NELSON: Making certain every lawful vote is counted.
CHRISTINE ROMANS: Count every vote.
TED DEUTCH: Count all the valid votes.
RUSH: The media montage, if there's a Republican invitee on CNN or MSNB, "What are you so worried about? If you're so sure you're gonna win just let the process play out. What are you so worried about?" Isn't it obvious? You guys conceded the election! The ballot was over a week ago. And now through the magic of you decision-making polling places, all all of a sudden it isn't over! And now nosotros've gotta keep counting ballots, who knows where they come up from.
Now nosotros got this mantra, "count every vote", and over again the point of this is to create the impression that at that place are people that don't want your vote to count. That'southward what information technology'southward really all about, plus getting to the provisional ballots, equally I described yesterday. So, Andrew Gillum is part of that montage, "count every vote."
The lawyers for Gillum and Nelson here in Florida accept argued that that should include fifty-fifty votes for noncitizens! If noncitizens voted, it's not their fault. It'south non their mistake they were immune to vote. Their vote should count! They're really out making that case. And yet — go this — the same Andrew Gillum is screaming bloody murder that 158 people who lost their homes to Hurricane Michael were allowed to vote by email or fax.
So, they're out at that place saying count every vote, count every vote, the vote is sacred, every vote must count. But158 people who lost their homes to Hurricane Michael were allowed to vote past electronic mail or fax, and Gillum is opposing this. You lot might be maxim, why, if you're maxim count every vote. Well, because yous tin can't vote by e-mail, and y'all can't vote by fax. Well, a special dispensation was granted because they lost their homes and their polling places. It's 158 people.
The Democrats are on the warpath against those 158 people, while out in that location shouting at the rooftops that every vote should be counted. So how does that foursquare? The problem that these 158 votes come from a predominantly Republican county upward in the Panhandle and therefore their votes shouldn't be counted. Meanwhile, noncitizens' votes should be counted. It isn't their fault that they were registered. They showed upwards, they are trying to participate in our republic.
Why, these nonregistered voters are really showing how badly they want to become citizens. They fifty-fifty went to the effort to vote when they couldn't. That'southward how bang-up a denizen they are, potential citizen. That'south what they're saying, that's how much they care. And because they've put forth so much effort, considering they risked it all to prove upwards and vote illegally, we demand to count those votes. Count every vote. But 158 votes from upward in Bay County, predominantly Republican past e-mail or fax, ah, ah, ah, ah, nope. Andrew Gillum says those votes should not exist counted.
The Democrats are refusing to allow those 158 votes fifty-fifty though the military and people living overseas are immune to email or fax in their votes. Certainly they're allowed to mail them. And y'all could argue that people were similarly displaced by the hurricane just like people deployed all over the are displaced by their military jobs. Just, no, no, not allowed. Nosotros can't let those 158 votes count. That'south non legal. I'm non making this upwards.
By the way, and they have no conflict whatever that illegals votes should count because they really care. These are people showing what keen citizens they're going to be. They know the importance of voting. Then we demand non punish them. And so what their votes are ineligible. We should make them eligible as a sign of how much we capeesh their coming hither and trying to become skilful Democrats, uh, Americans.
Now, over in Arizona, the solidly bluish county of Maricopa decided to extend early voting for emergencies for the first fourth dimension e'er. Early voting is supposed to finish the Friday before Ballot Twenty-four hours, but Maricopa Canton opened emergency voting centers and allowed everybody to decide what their emergency was. Then these Democrat voters got to vote on Sabbatum and Mon across the early voting deadline, even though that was against the law.
So the lesson is that some emergencies are more than important than others. Await a infinitesimal! If y'all miss the early voting borderline, which is Friday, only show up and vote Tuesday! Evidence up and vote on Election Twenty-four hour period. Oh, no, no, no, no. No. These are early voters, and they cared a lot, they cared so much, they went to the trouble to vote early, merely they missed the deadline, an emergency. And and then we need to extend to them the agreement that they tried to vote. Nosotros demand to make information technology as piece of cake to vote as it's possible. If y'all don't like long lines, a sign democracy isn't working.
And so, meanwhile, ane week after the election, Broward County still has not begun its recount. The borderline is Th! They still haven't begun the recount. They've got the machines in there, and they've got the behemothic mailbags, whatever it is, they've got all the ballots. They have not started the recount. They say that they are still separating the front page from the election. That'south the explanatory role from the voting role. They're notwithstanding separating and so as not to confuse the counters and the machines.
Sixty-five of 67 counties in Florida were able to do their task, but not the Democrat-run counties of Broward and Palm Embankment.

Rush: Bill Nelson has gone into hiding or else it's time for a new staple chore on the high cheekbones to maintain the never-ending grin on the face up. But he has released a YouTube video, and he is enervating that Rick Scott, who is the governor of the state of Florida, recuse himself from the recount.
NELSON: We should have a common goal, and that is to brand sure that every lawful vote is counted and counted as the voter intended. Rick Scott isn't interested in making sure every lawful vote is counted. He'southward using his power as governor to try to undermine the voting procedure. Scott cannot oversee this procedure in a fair and impartial way, and thus he should remove himself from any part in the recount.
Rush: What most you? You lot have vested interests just as much as he does. You encounter what this is most. All of this language in hither, "We should have a mutual goal," pregnant that nosotros don't. Nosotros all don't want every vote counted, folks. Some of us don't desire every vote counted. And the reason those people don't desire every vote counted is considering they know that those votes, most votes are for Democrats. And so it'south the Republicans who don't desire most votes counted because they know most votes are for Democrats.
Yeah, we should take a common goal, and that is to brand sure that every lawful vote is counted, although we must not have that mutual goal, otherwise Nelson wouldn't speak up. You encounter? Yous come across, Republicans don't desire every vote counted. When in truth, the Republicans want every vote counted once. They desire only legal votes counted, and they don't desire anybody playing games with what a voter intended! "House that work?"
Okay, I'll give you an idea. In Broward County and Palm Embankment County you lot have, in both counties, a very significant Jewish population, which predominantly votes liberal Democrat. And then if you're gonna exercise a hand count state of affairs and y'all come across a vote by a Jewish denizen that's for a Republican, you could say, "Manifestly this is a mistake. Uh, this person didn't intend to vote for a Republican. We shouldn't count this for the Republicans."
This actually happened in 2000. It happened in 2000 because also on the ballot was Pat Buchanan. And it turned out that some Jewish voters voted for Buchanan. And fifty-fifty Buchanan was running around proverb, "I don't think whatever of those people would exist voting for me. Those votes are somewhat suspect." Well, who's to say? And then you lot want to go in and judge the intention of a voter subsequently the fact, not based on anything you know about the voter other than his religion?
This is the kind of matter, this is why Nelson makes a point here of proverb count every vote equally intended. There'due south no way anybody knows that. But that was office of the hanging chad. You know, election would have one hole mark out, fully chad gone, and the other candidate, the chad would still be there, but hanging loosely, you know, not fully removed and then they would have to go translate the ballot. And then they would say, "Well, plainly, obviously this voter fabricated a mistake and didn't want to vote for the Republican that'south fully removed here, because this obviously looks similar somebody went back and tried to vote for the Democrat, but didn't do it quite right."
That's what the statement was and that'southward why they wanted, in part, to continue the recount in 2000 over the chads! Then this is and then damned insulting. Republicans don't want to count every vote because Republicans know that nearly votes are for Democrats, so Republicans want to suppress the votes, but we demand to come together, and we need to have a mutual goal. That is to make sure that every lawful vote is counted and every bit the voter intended. Well, there'south no mode a car can tell you lot that, folks, so they accept to get to the manual recount. And they have to go to the provisional ballot. Because Rick Scott isn't interested in making sure every lawful vote is counted.
That'southward a hell of an allegation. That is a hell of an allegation. I know in politics that you can say, but Scott knows he won this. Scott knows that he'due south the winner. And still Scott is not interested in making sure every lawful vote is counted? What Scott'due south interested in is making certain that votes that never existed all of a sudden exist! What Scott's concerned about is that a bunch of lost votes that were blank all of a sudden end up found in schoolrooms or the trunks of rental cars. What Scott is concerned about is that votes are gonna be manufactured or that votes for him are going to exist lost or some such thing.
And there'due south ample history to suspect this based on Brenda Snipes in 2016 who runs Broward County and the whole of the Democrat polling performance in 2000. So Smiley Face here says he's using his power as governor to attempt to undermine the voting process. Undermine the vote? How can it be that we have an election, the Republican wins, the Democrat concedes and then votes continue to be counted and the Democrat unconcedes and in this scenario it is the Republican trying to undermine the process? The whole process here is initiated past Democrats who, once once more, are refusing to have the results of an election, just every bit they did in 2016.
That's what this is. They are refusing to take the results of the Senate race in Florida and the governor's race. And so at present Scott, who's trying to undermine votes and make sure votes don't count and make certain people'southward votes are ignored, should recuse himself from any function in the recount. Of grade. Get rid of the number 1 advocate for Rick Scott, Rick Scott.
And the media amplifies this. This is totally reasonable. Pecker Nelson'south making all kinds of sense, and this is how Republicans are continually portrayed as the enemy. The enemy of democracy, the enemy of elections, when in fact information technology is only the exact opposite.
In fact, here's Andrew Gillum. Nosotros went back to 2002 and a documentary film called Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election. This is nearly the Florida recount. And Andrew Gillum was a educatee at Florida A&M at the fourth dimension. Once again, this is 2002, so it'southward 16 years agone.
GILLUM: As the precincts shut later that evening we brainstorm to get reports hither from the Pupil Regime Association from just dissimilar students near either not having their voter registration card, going to their precinct that it had voted at before and now beingness told that they weren't on the roster, that their names take been purged.
Blitz: Then they found a documentary in the 2000 recount, and guess who'southward there talking well-nigh voter irregularity and challenge that a bunch of fraud is taking identify? Why, none other than Andrew Gillum. How well-nigh that. It'due south tiresome, I know, folks. It's tiresome. It's tiring. It just wears people out. They never finish. No, they don't. They never will.
And I'll tell you lot, as things go on, in times like this where they call up they're now ascendant, they recall they're on the verge of winning everything now, folks, I mean, I've got sound bites here from Democrat consultants who say that the 2020 presidential race is over. Information technology'south already over considering Trump no way can win Pennsylvania once more, no way could he win Michigan again, no fashion could he win Wisconsin, it's over. Trump's blown it, it'southward over, in that location's literally no fashion Trump can win. It's washed.
Well, when they offset thinking this way, now they've got two years to tell themselves the presidency is theirs in 2020 and peradventure sooner if they go rid of Trump via Mueller. Then when they start losing elections, this is when they go bonkers! 'Cause they've told themselves they own everything! They're doing it 2 years in advance now. And they're dangerous. Because they are in direct opposition to our constitutional republic by refusing to have the results of elections.
It'south ane of a few key things that acts equally the glue that keeps our society, our population together, is the acceptance of the effect of elections, the will of the people. Once that stops — and we're close to information technology — so yous're inching closer and closer to chaos and worse, anarchy. And we're dangerously close to this point now, I retrieve.

Blitz: Here is Megan in Baltimore, every bit we head back to the phones. I'm glad yous chosen, Megan. How are you today?
CALLER: I'm well. How are you lot, Blitz? Thanks and so much.
Blitz: I'yard fine and dandy. Cheers.
CALLER: I'grand a Millennial and a true Rush Baby. I've been listening to yous since I was three, and I really relish your bespeak of view, and I cheers for but having your show.
Blitz: I capeesh that so much. You bet.
CALLER: I merely wanted to comment on what'due south going on in Florida, the whole ballot recounting. My husband and I were residents in Florida for a while. And we were registered voters. A couple years agone we moved upward to Maryland for his piece of work. And we registered here to vote, and yet we're however receiving — we received ballots, similar absentee ballots to vote in Florida, fifty-fifty though we were too registered to vote, like, we were no longer registered —
RUSH: You know, I take heard this story. You lot're the commencement I've heard information technology from. I've read other people say that this happened to them. People who had lived in Florida and moved away and were having absentee ballots mailed to them.
CALLER: Yes.
Rush: This may be pretty widespread. What office of Florida did you lot move abroad from? Where did you live here?
CALLER: We were in Melbourne.
Rush: Melbourne, okay.
CALLER: Yes. And you know when I registered to vote hither in Maryland, they asked for the last identify I was registered to vote, and I asked them why they needed to know that, and they said, "Then we can inform them and you lot can exist taken off their voter rolls." And I was similar okay. Then I did information technology then I still received these absentee ballots. And I'yard only wondering, you know, if they really cared well-nigh making certain there'southward no voter fraud and making sure every vote counts, if they actually looked into the absentee ballots, you know, college students get these, too.
RUSH: Yep.
CALLER: And I'm only wondering if they would find a lot of, you lot know, dishonest people voting in two places and how that would affect things.
Rush: Let me tell you lot. As far as the Democrats are concerned, there are activists who do on purpose what you've done. They will motion away, and it's just a temporary thing, in order to get an absentee ballot like yous have gotten. And they'll vote, and they'll effort to vote both places and eventually move back to Florida at some point. But, you know, information technology's a scam, whatever. Purging of voter rolls is non something that happens routinely and automatically.
CALLER: Correct.
RUSH: That's how dead people are able to keep voting. I mean, we express mirth well-nigh it, we joke well-nigh information technology, that the graveyard vote is, which way is it gonna become, merely it'south considering it happens.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: And then I think when yous await at who's demanding the recount and why and all that, I'm sorry, all suspicion, as far equally I'yard concerned, falls on the Democrats here. This is intelligence guided past experience. What did you practise with your absentee ballots? Did yous send 'em back and say —
CALLER: No. I shredded them considering, you know, it has information on it and also I didn't desire to dishonestly vote.
RUSH: See? A Republican like you would not vote twice. This is my signal. I waited to see what you're –. Yous could have easily said, "I used 'em, Blitz. If they gonna let me vote in Florida and Maryland, I'll vote both places." Merely you didn't do that. Yous shredded 'em.
CALLER: Right. And I simply become the feeling that a lot of people maybe would have taken information technology upon themselves to exist dishonest and send information technology back and exist able to vote in both places.
RUSH: I don't think there'south any doubt about that.
CALLER: Yes. Fifty-fifty voting here in person, I went in to my precinct, my polling place and I didn't take to produce ID. I just had to requite them my name. I didn't fifty-fifty have to verify who I was or what my address was. I could have gone in there and told them I was anybody on my street and voted for them. Everyone's worried about Russia fixing elections, and I retrieve they need to look a little closer, a little fleck closer to home.
Rush: Yeah, merely for every person that says that, I have to evidence a photo ID every fourth dimension I become vote. I know the Democrats have opposed that and fought that. I ran a lilliputian exam this fourth dimension. I grabbed my voter registration card instead of my ID, pulled out the voter registration, and they know who I am in in that location. In my polling place, I'm near too famous to vote. I but can't become in there and vote.
And fifty-fifty though they know who I am and I have a voter registration card, they demanded to discuss my driver's license which has a photo on it. And I'm wondering, if every place is doing this, so how in the world are people getting away with what they're getting away with? Somebody has to not be asking for photo IDs in sure places. And and so, of course, early on voting absentee, what are you gonna do almost it? Look. I just saw the clock hither. I'm style long. Megan, I'm glad yous chosen. I appreciate it.

RUSH: Here is John in Atlanta, as we head back to the phones. John, thank you for waiting, and how-do-you-do.
CALLER: Hullo, Rush. Boy, I can't believe I got through to yous.
RUSH: Hither y'all are.
CALLER: So happy.
RUSH: Thank yous.
CALLER: Listen, I want to go this point across. I hope I don't accept too long, it's a niggling complicated. But in the Broward County voting state of affairs, the (unintelligible) or whatever y'all call her title, she violated the constabulary, she didn't follow the rules. So the Republicans are saying there's fraud or there's potential fraud. The law is specifically in place to forbid fraud. And the Democrats are proverb, oh, there's no evidence, you lot don't accept any evidence, and whoever's the head of the country electoral voting, I don't know the championship, says at that place's no prove of fraud.
The trouble is this. If yous don't follow the policy, you don't follow the law that is in place to foreclose fraud, so yous can't meet the prove because they're non allowing them to run into the evidence. The evidence might never exist seen fifty-fifty if there is fraud. Then in those instances, they should say it'southward indeterminable whether there's fraud or not considering we weren't allowed to see and the votes are rejected. The whole county ought to exist rejected, and they would get over information technology, and those people would vote that person out that's heading their elections and resolve problem.
Rush: Okay, John, allow me inquire, what are the odds that's ever gonna happen, that an entire county's votes would exist thrown out?
CALLER: Well, they won't do information technology, but the constabulary should say, if you don't follow these rules, and then your vote is indeterminable, nosotros tin can't protect from fraud, and it volition be rejected. That ought to exist in the law, everybody says, what do we do, exercise we fire, what do we practice considering she's broken the law. Well, the constabulary should say what you practice, and information technology should say that the votes won't count. It would not be likely the person would violate information technology then, and if they did the people would certainly vote her out of office. They say, well, she can't exist fired, she'southward elected. But the people would accept care of it, and Florida would get over non counting Broward County, the whole globe would get over it.
If you don't follow policies and rules, there'due south all kinds of things that happen to yous in life. You might not get into college, you might not exit of higher, you might not get a enhance, you might not get a job. And we all have to endure those consequences. But there's no consequence for this. It'south simply ridiculous.
RUSH: I would say that that's really condign a more than commonplace thing than having to suffer consequences for things that people do wrong. I call up that'southward 1 of the issues we face, really, is that there are fewer and fewer consequences.
CALLER: Well, that's a good point.
Blitz: Ah, I think it'south —
CALLER: I similar that.
RUSH: It'due south one of the reasons why your proffer sounds so ludicrously incommunicable, outrageous, what do y'all mean, just abolish the whole county's votes? You tin't practice that! It'south never gonna happen. And your signal is, it ought to exist the consequence if there'south rampant fraud and we tin can't find any evidence of it because they won't share information technology, nevertheless we know information technology's happening, the only matter we can practice is disqualify all the votes. That's your point, right?
CALLER: Well, you don't fifty-fifty have to know it's happening. You know that they took away the safeguards to prevent it, and so you can't determine if the votes are legitimate or if they're fraudulent. If they're indeterminable, they shouldn't be accustomed.
Rush: You see, the trouble with this is we don't even have this in common. The left wants that. They want there to be a question of legitimacy. Every fourth dimension the Republicans win an election, the left wants information technology to be questioned. They want it to be thought of as illegitimate. I mean, after George Bush and the Florida recount, the fact that he was not legitimately elected is what allowed them to try and destroy his presidency beginning ii months after nine/11 happened so continuing throughout both of his terms. He was not legitimate because the recount was non legitimate because the Supreme Court stepped in.
It's what they're doing with Trump now. They know the Russians didn't collude, although I think some of them, this has been going on and so long they really do believe it, some of these nimbrains. Merely the point is question the legitimacy of every Republican ballot and ones that are close, and it allows you lot 'cause you've got your assistance in the media, it just allows you to have as a perpetual reporting narrative that the Republicans, every bit they exist, are illegitimate, that their reelection victory was illegitimate, that what they're doing, therefore, may not exist considered permanent because, if they stole election, if they're elected illegitimately, and then their appointees are not legitimate and whatever executive orders the president might make are not legitimate, they tin can all be withdrawn.
This is an ongoing strategy by the Democrats to have everybody, as many people as possible literally question the legitimacy of every Republican win. That'south what this is about here. This is about two things, perchance iii. If they think that they can really via a recount find enough votes to reverse a 33,000 vote win and a 12,000 vote win, so they would practice it. That'southward never happened. A recount has never resulted in a 12,000-vote margin beingness overturned.
But if they tin can so, for the next iv years or six question Rick Scott's legitimacy because that election there was something screwy about it, and we never did get to stop the recount, and there was so much fraud, they want information technology all to reflect on Republicans.
Same thing with DeSantis every bit governor. His iv years as governor are going to be perceived as suspicious, questionable because they're non legitmate. My point is the Democrats strategically and policy-wise benefit from all of this even when they lose reelections. It is their way of dealing with an ballot loss by claiming that they should take won. They got jobbed. That the people who won really didn't legitimately. That's the whole point of this.
The only mode, past the mode, that any of this is valuable and could exist gotten abroad with is because the media is essentially the left. The media is the Democrat Political party. I mean, the Democrats by themselves cannot brand the case that every Republican is illegitimate, but the media can do information technology twenty-four hours in and mean solar day out as they written report on whatever number of Republicans or conservative commentators or whoever they want to report on. And that's what this is.
The third affair this is nearly is taking the occasion of this recount to put in place various safeguards and protections for themselves for the 2020 presidential election, which they likewise lost to Trump. Folks, this is why we are in a real hellish position right now, because they refuse to accept the outcome of elections. That's what'due south happening here, it'southward what happened in 2016. They merely refused to accept the election results. When that happens, that'southward the mucilage that keeps everything together. Here the winners win, the losers lose. The losers figure out what they did, what went wrong, try to ready information technology.
That's not what'due south happening at present. The people that lose are saying they were jobbed, they were cheated. Republicans cheated, the Russians did this, or there's something screwy with the ballots in Florida or what have you. But every bit this goes on, as there is an ongoing refusal past 1 party to accept election results, there's nothing good that's gonna come from this.
Because there are all kinds of people that they're working upward into a frenzy, like the guy that shot Steve Scalise and Republicans with a gun at baseball game practice. I mean, they're working people upwards, deranged, off residual people, they're working 'em into a frenzy with this. It's not proficient. And information technology's gonna pb to very trigger-happy, unpeaceful circumstances and situations if this doesn't stop.
