RE: Recounts - fredtoast - 11-27-2016 Bunch of silly political posturing, but here is the way I see it. Clinton did not start any of this and never asked for a recount. But once one is ordered they are going to make sure it is done properly. This is a direct quote from the linked story [i]Elias said the Clinton camp is "fully aware" that the outcome of the election is unlikely to change, noting that "the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states — Michigan — well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount."[i] RE: Recounts - 6andcounting - 11-27-2016 Stein going deep cover as a Hillary shill and demanding a recount in states Hillary knew she had to do everything to try to win, but ended up still losing. Stein (who was deeply critical of Clinton all election) is using the recount demands as a way to prove cheating and voter fraud in favor of Hillary. Clinton campaign wants in on the recount as a way to try to hide their widespread cheating. And I know you can all admit if this is conspiracy I just made up after reading too much r/The_Donald true, it would still be one of the least crazy things about this whole election.

My wife and I actually paid attention to the media portrayal. There were lots of little things they would do. Some examples were misleading headlines (ie clickbait), repeated reporting of negative connotations, pictures that did not flatter him put next to more flattering (if possible) pics of Hillary, etc. It was a whole concerted effort to make him look as bad as possible while not digging nearly as deep or being nearly as dogged with anything that might have portrayed Hilary negatively. I am not saying they never reported anything negative about her. Sometimes they were forced to. It was more the little details of portraying him vs portraying her. That's what I meant by not only the quotes. RE: Recounts - GMDino - 11-27-2016 (11-27-2016, 06:39 PM)Beaker Wrote: The quotes weren't the only thing.

You are seriously saying that the media dug more into Trump than Clinton? Talk about confirmation bias. Clinton has been in the media spotlight for 30+ years...how much more digging could they do? Trump was a private citizen so every time something new was found out it was, well, new, and reported on. Virtually every story about Trump was because he said or did something and it was reported. He loved the attention but didn't want any of the criticism. RE: Recounts - GMDino - 11-27-2016 But, as usual, the President elect is handing it with the decorum you would expect from him. While also guiding the media away from his own possible troubles. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/tweet-flurry-president-elect-donald-trump-calls-recount-efforts-sad-n688761 Quote:President-elect Donald Trump took to his favorite social media platform to send a stream of posts indicating that the Hillary Clinton campaign's involvement in an election recount was hypocritical.

This is just your perception. Same way that Bengal fan thinks every call goes against the Bengals while the opponent thinks every call goers against them. Seemed to me that the press covered every negative aspect of Hillary just like they did with Trump. And who are you claiming "forced" the media to say something negative about Hillary? The fact is that for a long time Hillary did not even do press conferences because she felt it was best to just sit back and let Trump run his mouth. It is not the medias fault that he said so many crazy things.

Yep, the rubes will believe it is just a coincidence that Stien challenged the states she did. RE: Recounts - Beaker - 11-27-2016 (11-27-2016, 08:38 PM)fredtoast Wrote: This is just your perception. Yes, it was my perception. Once I heard his ridiculous claim, I started paying attention to how each was portrayed. And when I said forced, I meant Hillary did or said something dumb enough that there was no other way they could spin it other than negatively. RE: Recounts - Fan_in_Kettering - 11-27-2016 Go ahead and recount. I will enjoy watching Hillary lose again.

The yahoos always cry and complain. But I don't remember Republicans calling for any official recounts in 2008 or 2012. RE: Recounts - samhain - 11-28-2016 Trump needs to stop talking about this. He has a concession from Clinton and even the people inciting the recount say repeatedly that no evidence of fraud has been found. Why should Trump even care if there's an effort to obtain a recount? He's already won and nothing is likely to change. If anything, it will only affirm the legitimacy of his victory. Dumb and childish for him to even dignify the effort with a reaction. RE: Recounts - treee - 11-28-2016 I bet you if there was a re-vote that there is a whole host of apathetic voters that would get over their distaste for Clinton and get Trump the **** out of the presidency. Oh well, at least I voted. Now I don't have to have that on my conscience.

Both the '08 and '12 elections were blowouts. But even though the election this year was closer I think these recounts are a huge waste of time and money. RE: Recounts - michaelsean - 11-28-2016 Did Stein put a cap on how much she would raise? Seems like she could get a lot more money than is needed if she didn't. RE: Recounts - tigerseye - 11-28-2016 I wonder how much Soros pitched in for this recount? Hillary not doing a concession speech for her supporters after all their hard work and sending them all home and now an end around recount. (not very Presidential) The media admitted that they could not have helped her anymore than they did.They completely sold out and crushed their own credibility. (which is good that people are waking up to their propaganda) She lost because she was a terrible candidate. Period. (Sanders might have won) I guess Obama couldn't get enough ILLEGAL immigrants to vote for her ILLEGALLY. (We won't prosecute? seriously) Yeah!!!! we won the popular vote. (No , not really). Obama should be ashamed. I'm sure he's not. We need to return to the Rule of Law. For our kids sake.
