How come they didn't push for a recount when Hillary stole the primary from Bernie?

Actually, a better question is: why didn't HRC petition for a recount of Michigan when Bernie trounced her. All the polls were wrong and said HRC would win - some said by 10+ points.

There was something funny going on in Nevada during the primaries. I think votes were manipulated for Clinton and Sanders ended up winning a few weeks after

IMO, Bernie won Iowa.

They rigged it for Hillary however and won't release the raw vote count.

This says it all.

Something "funny" and you "think". I think that's settled then.

Because while there was indicators that things were not OK, there were not enough that the end result would change.

Im not sure why this is such a hard concept for so many people. The recount is quite the reach, because while there are odd indicators, most can be resolved by looking at the data. BUT because in this case questions ARE raised, its worth actually doing it. Not because I think anything will change, but because we need the knowledge that its valid. If you think listening to people complain now is bad, imagine if they spent 4 years whining about how it was rigged.

But more surprising to me is Trumps reaction. A president would simply ignore it, or talk about how things like this will help people have faith in our process. Instead, he is going on about how the election was rigged, and he would have won the popular vote.....and then continues to go on and on about how bad it is to recount.

OK which one is it? Is it rigged, or is it valid?

I have a bad feeling about all of this.

Remember that Bernie got paid off with a home for free. Bernie is happy with the crumbs and not having to do the work.

Don't forget that socialist like to spread other peoples wealth and hard work and get the most themselves with doing the least!

Please. Do you really believe this nonsense? Seriously?

I mean this is a absolutely honest question. Sometimes I just kind of assume that people are throwing out this sort of nonsense as a talking point, not because they truly believe it. So which is it? Do you truly deeply believe this sort of nonsense? Or is this just useful rhetoric?
