This is all over on the 19th.
She will NOT "stay out of it" - the Clinton Campaign announced today they will support & join in the "recount".

Clinton campaign counsel: We'll participate in recount |The Hill - 11/26/16

This support of the Clinton Campaign does a lot to help explain how Jill Stein mysteriously was able to raise $2 Million dollars MORE than her entire Presidential Campaign for 2016 ...... in only a few days.

It was the right decision by Obama. Trump won by the same type people from each state.

Stein should not be allowed to call for any recount.

I think this is coming out because Democrats want a recount, they can say it was not Hilary's decision.

First, why are you using "Merry Christmas" as some sort of slur? The spirit of Christmas is meant to uplift the name of Jesus Christ, not as punctuation to your deranged outbursts.

Second, President Obama is a strategist. He's thinking of the long-term. As such, he knows that the President-elect's tenuous victory actually galvanizes the Democratic party's base. Theoretically, if Trump fails miserably (or alienates his own base by giving too many concessions) this could bode well for the opposing party in 2018...And 2020. However, if Hillary Clinton challenges the results (even if she prevails), it could actually hurt the party in the long run.

As usual, Hillary Clinton is thinking of herself. I'm sure she's getting some support from the pro-war Zionists as well...They can't do as much damage with a former reality-star declaring their wars, than with a "legitimate" president. Lord, this season makes me thankful I abstained--Machiavellian mind games.

No matter how you recount the election, too many people hated Hillary. This is going to make the voters hate her more for trying to slide back in, like the snake she is...

I don't know what to believe anymore.. to tell you the truth. News is not credible to me after what I have heard, read, the lies, the stretching , the deception.

The left just makes it up as they go.

Hillary was going to refuse to concede on election night. Obama called her and pressured her to concede and she now regrets that decision. Obama also thinks that contesting the election in the rust belt wastes time and resources that could be better used like for the Louisiana Senate run off.
You're citing a report from MSN? Aren't they part of "the MSM?"

I keep hearing that the "MSM" has zero credibility.

BTW, this is all hearsay form someone who's rushing a book out.

If hacking of the digital electoral process took place and there is a re-count...well------I would say that either side has had more than enough time to have re-hacked...digital mechanism are flawed...they can always and continuously be manipulated...You got what you got...now life with it.
