Quote of the Night

Post by callmeslick »

post debate, on CNN: Van Jones to Jeffery Lord(Trump spokesperson), who was feebly attempting to compare Trump refusing to publicly accept the result of the Federal General Election and Al Gore waiting for a court-ordered recount and legal certification---

"You can try all you want, but you aren't going to polish THAT turd."

Geezus, the headlines on all 3 major cable news outlets was near identical: Trump refuses to accept election outcome. All three. By and large, everyone save the paid Trump faithful were literally floored, and many called that moment ALONE disqualifying. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. :o

Fox News site, 1 hour after debate:
Trump refuses to accept election outcome if he loses, in fiery debate with Clinton.


Nice, Donald. The trifecta. Nice thought to leave the nation with, via your own quote: "I'll leave you guessing" Way to close the deal, big guy.

And thus the worst-run major party candidacy in the history of the nation ends with a whimper and a small puff of smoke.

“Trump refuses to accept election outcome”

That statement is bull★■◆●, Trump clearly left both options open.

Left BOTH options open? There are NOT TWO OPTIONS in the American system. The absolute crux of our system of governance, the thing that truly has made America both great and of massive significance to the history of mankind is that we've managed to maintain for 200 plus years, a peaceful, commonly accepted transfer of power. Period. To even suggest that there are, or should be, 'options' is appalling, to borrow Ms Clintons word.

that is NOT the correct answer to an easy question. America knows it. Good night, funny man. There is reason Conway walked out 30 seconds into the spin room appearance with CNN, there is a reason his words were the lead on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN, and nationwide in the press this morning. Wait and see, and the disgusting toss out: "I'll keep you in suspense" shows a staggering lack of grasp on both the history and the gravitas he has inserted himself into. This isn't a game, it isn't a TV show, designed for drama and suspense. It's a contest for the Presidency of the US.

It became a TV spectacle when Billy Bob Clinton went on late night shows and played his Sax. And if you don't think Hillary has a whole bus load of lawyers ready to contest the election if she loses, I got some swamp land I'll sell you at a inflated price.

oh, good God, you can't be serious. How about Hoover and Ike pursuing outdoor sports with an entourage, Teddy Roosevelt's self-promotion. You seem to confuse attempting to ingratiate with acting like a jerk to get ratings. Bill Clinton had a political stance, plans and knowledge of how the system is designed. Please, quit the turd-polishing. If Jeff Lord can't pull it off, you are merely going to embarrass yourself.

I will guarantee that she would not. That is not how we do things in America. No one ever has. Sure, there are lawyers to oversee election issues, but not ONE has ever challenged the result, let alone attempted to discredit the process before the election was even held. NOT ONE. Until now.

So you're saying making a spectacle is par for politicians. And somehow Trump's "spectacle" is a firs. :roll:

Your guarantee's are valueless . As to no one challenging I guess you weren't around when Gore contested Fla vote...not once but twice (or was it 3 times?)

lying or stupid, Woody? Gore never challenged. The recount was ordered by the state, the process for that recount was challenged at one point, but the only time when Gore could have made a court challenge of certified results was to go to the SCOTUS, which be refused to do, citing the BEST INTERESTS OF THE NATION. Keep trying to polish the turd.

Florida's election laws[7] allow a candidate to request a county to conduct a manual recount, and Gore requested manual recounts in four Florida counties: Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade,

exactly. He requested manual recounts. State law demanded recounts be done. Please stop attempting the already discredited smokescreen that blew up in Jeff Lord's face. At no time did Gore EVER suggest the vote was fraudulent, nor rigged. Moreover, he demanded that no one on his team do anything of the sort.

He didn't accept the results now did he. Trump reserves the same consideration of accepting the results as Gore did.

Yes, he does have that consideration and it will be given to him if the results are close, just like in Gore's case. No one is going to deny him that. But he needs to concede like a gentleman if he loses by a wide margin, which is possible. If things do end up close and all the vote re-counts say that he still lost the election, he shouldn't go out whining like a baby or starting some inane revolution. Democracy is democracy. We all have to live with the outcome.

At no time has ANY candidate, before an election, cast the slightest aspersions on the validity of the ultimate outcome. NONE.

At this point Trump is essentially showing the same emotional maturity as a six-year-old when dealing with the thought of losing. Actually, no, I've known multiple six-year-olds that have dealt better with losing than he is. Maybe someone should promise him a participation trophy and a Capri Sun to stop him from crying?

Yes he did...after he contested them. Please stop trying to spin Gores action out of this.

At this point, woody is just simply coming off as delusional.



saying stuff like “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.” is just downright pitiful and just reeks of arrogance.

No, he's acting just like a crappy entertainer who wouldn't know how to act civil to other people if his life depended on it. He couldn't even make decent roast jokes about Clinton last night at the Al Smith Dinner. He started out OK, got in a couple of really good zingers, but then devolved into trash talk and just attacked Clinton with a vengeance. It wasn't funny anymore. He was the only one to get catcalls and boos too.

.....in the entire history of that dinner, or at least the ones I've ever heard over my lifetime. Astounding, as is much of his public body of work. Clearly, the event was rigged and someone leaked the fact that you're supposed to be funny to Hillary. That man needs to fire the writer that penned that material last night, but I suspect the guilty party is the one looking back in Donald's mirror.
