Did Trump Steal the Election?

From all the hullabaloo by the Democrats and their media allies, you’d think that Donald Trump must have stolen his victory over Hillary.

The Democrats and the media keep trying every day to find some reason to make America believe the “impossible”: How could the “evil” Trump possibly overcome someone as “wonderful” as Hillary? (Democrats always caricature Republican presidential candidates. Usually the GOP candidate is portrayed as “stupid,” and the Democrat as the “smartest person in the room.”  However, in this election Trump was portrayed as a clown and demagogue, and Hillary as experienced and inevitable.) Was it the Russians, FBI director Comey, or bad vote counting in the Midwest? Or was it voters who didn’t understand it was Hillary’s turn to become president?

According to Democrats, their unacceptable loss had to be about something other than Hillary’s being a lousy candidate who didn’t give a flip about the working people in the Midwest, either because she thought she didn’t need their votes, or was too lazy to campaign in flyover country.

It must be the Russians!
Now Democrats in Congress think they have found the quintessential reason: It had to be the Russians who stopped Hillary from becoming president. According to news reports, the CIA and the FBI confirm the Russians were hacking Democrat Party emails. Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, however, refutes this claim and takes all the credit for broadcasting the tweets which made the Democrats look like what they really are–power-hungry knaves and cheats–simply by divulging their own emails, in which, for example, the Party schemed to take down Hillary’s only intra-party rival, socialist senator Bernie Sanders.

Think about that for a minute.

Wasn’t Hillary supposed to be crowned without any serious opposition? So how was it possible this virtually unknown, seventy-four-year-old socialist from the bucolic state of Vermont could seriously compete with the queen bee? The DNC’s concern over Sanders was, as it turns out, an early warning there was something seriously amiss in Hillary’s campaign.

Perhaps it was that she had no message, other than she was the only woman running and therefore gender-priviledged. That, as it turned out, was just one of her arrogant assumptions.

How Long Will Democrats Refuse to Admit Defeat?
On December 19th, Trump was declared the 45th president of the United States. So you may wonder why Democrats’ whining still fills the airwaves. One commentator described it as going through the five stages of grief–denial, anger–the current stage—followed by bargaining, depression, acceptance. But right now it seems anger may be the stage that lingers for the next four years.

Democrats have the amble-witted fixation of believing they are always entitled to win and thus refuse to admit defeat. Consider, for example, that they not only lost the presidency, they also remain in the minority in the House and Senate. Furthermore, over thirty states have Republican governors and legislatures. Democrats have only four. That not only spells “defeat,” it looks like a tombstone.

What’s also so curious is that Democrats keep bragging they won the popular vote. That’s like bragging you have a straight when your opponent has a straight flush.

Republicans won thirty states. In this election, the heart of the country belongs almost entirely to the Republicans. Look at a map of how the states voted, and the dominant color is red. Your eyes have to swivel from coast to coast to see any noticeable blue.

In fact, without California and New York’s leftwing voters, Democrats wouldn’t have a chance of winning a presidential election. Right now, in the House, one third of the Democrats are represented by only three states–California, New York, and Massachusetts.

The President thinks the Constitution is Passé.
Like a little boy who doesn’t know the facts of life, President Obama says the most empty-headed things. Recently he spouted off, saying the Electoral College is “a vestige” of an “older time” in America. (So is the Declaration of Independence, but that doesn’t make it any less relevant.) Of course the president, supposedly a constitutional scholar, has never given much credence to the restrictions imposed on the executive branch by the Constitution.

Obama cited Wyoming, a state with only about half a million people, as being somehow ridiculously entitled to the same number of senators as California, a state with almost forty million.

Surely Obama knows that the Founders, who ratified the Constitution, believed every state should have equal representation in the Senate to give every state, regardless of population, an equal voice in running the government.

Still the president shows little respect for the Electoral College, except, perhaps, when it votes for him. His argument against it is also specious since population does determine the number of electors in each state. Of course accuracy is never required in Democrats’ arguments. Emotion, rather than logic, is their guiding principle. Since emotion requires no proof, every Democrat has the right, apparently, to cry “foul,” even though no foul has been committed.

The fact is simply this: Whether Democrats like it or not, the Constitution is still the law of the land. Therefore, Hillary lost. Period.
