Good for him. The leftist media just wants to bring him down anyway. All the blatantly liberal shills on MSNBC. At least now Trump can get his message unfiltered to the people. Smart! We support you Mr. President Elect. ( Can't wait to drop the "Elect" part)> So proud!!!
We all know that the election is decided by the Electoral College, not the popular vote. And I find it highly unlikely that the recount in Wisconsin or other states will be enough to swing the EC to Hillary. So Trump should just be quiet about it, or maybe say "get this recount business over quick so AMerica can move on".
But the man just can't help himself. He's got to double-down by claiming that he won the popular vote also, despite zero supporting evidence. Anyone who thought that a 70-year old was going to "mature" after he takes office is badly mistaken.
President "Tweet" is understandably sensitive.
He lost the vote by over 2 million, making this the MOST rigged election in history. Pubs have gained the WH three other times after losing the vote, but never by this huge of a margin.

Good for him for making up and tweeting it to the whole world?
What else will you praise him for?
Staying at Trump Tower and renting space to the Secret Service to protect him? Gooooo Trump! those taxpayers!
Rewarding big donors with cabinet positions even though they have zero experience! Woo-hoo! Political patronage!!!
Keeping his businesses open and running them while he's president? Hip hip hooray!!!! Conflicts of interest and selling out the country to make a buck!!
Oh yeah. A lot to be proud of.

Reason: language
I think the discrepancies between the counts in counties with paper ballots and those with electronic voting is interesting. I'm curious about the differences.
From my understanding those were unofficial results. The official results supposedly corrected those errors.

There's no harm in looking at it. There's a mechanism in place to do so and people are willing to pay for it.
Personally, I hate voting electronically. You hit "cast ballot" and poof--it's gone. To me, it seems incredibly vulnerable to hacking. It's one area where I think low-tech would be more dependable.
Wonder if he is going to be allowed to do this after January.
If he keeps it up he could cause serious issues with his stupid tweets. And if he goes out of control like he's prone to, he will look like even more of a fool as president.

The man simply cannot help himself. He won the election yet is upset because he failed to win the popular vote due to voter fraud. Give me a break! It is such a shame that we have a classless con man set to occupy the white house in a few weeks.

The problem is the EC is supposed to vote on Dec 19. Jill Stein is requesting a hand recount. They also waited until the deadline to request the recount. That means that there are 15 days to meet the deadline for certification in Wisconsin. The Florida recount started a few days after the election and we barely made the EC. We are 2 weeks out from the election this time and they want to do three states and the recounts haven't even started yet. That means that if the SCOTUS isn't involved it will go to Congress and the Senate since Trump will not get to 260 votes. This could become the new strategy for the loser. Let's pretend for a second that Congress and the Senate was currently controlled by the democrats, but Hillary lost the Presidency. If they forced the same recounts causing the EC votes to not count for those states being hand recounted. This would be a perfect strategy to truly steal an election. That's why these recounts shouldn't be allowed for the Presidency unless something major is amiss. We are supposed to be inaugurating a new President on Jan 20th.
I'm not "hurt" by the election results, much less "butt-hurt," whatever that means.
And you clearly don't get a thing.
Trump is an embarrassment to our country. He's a liar. Saying he didn't win the popular vote because millions of people voted illegally is a bald-faced lie. And you apparently don't get that.
He's childish. He tweets with less restraint than a 14-year-old and people all over the world read those tweets. You apparently don't get that either.
He's clueless about what this job entails and you don't get that either.
You're happy because you think you "won" something, but you didn't win anything but four years of cringe-worthy tweets and gaffes by an unfit idiot.
