An election redo
In light of the latest revelations the only correct thing to do is an election redo.
It's not going to happen but needs to.

2. Trump should be disqualified. Hillary won the election

3. there's no process for that.
best case scenario is that congress impeaches and removes trump & pence (both elections are equally tainted).
then either ryan becomes president, or they appoint a new vice president in between the two removals and that person becomes president.
the republican congress would never do any of that, but even if they did, they'd never, ever, ever make hillary president.

4. It's A JOKE!!
If this were sports, the runner up would be declared the champion.
Of course, this is America, and fairness is not an option.

7. hell, if it we're one of toxic trump's pageants, or the apprentice, the runner-up would win.
then again, i guess that is in fact how it turned out, because after all, toxic trump *was* the runner-up....

5. constitution has NO remedy for a botched or stolen election ( impeachment allows only for
specific behavior by one specific person)

6. Then the constitution needs to be amended to fix that
Such an amendment would be almost guaranteed to have the backing it needs.

11. I was under the impression that the Constitution guaranteed us "free and fair" elections

13. Where, exactly, did you think it did that?
I'd be interested in your impression.

9. not entirely true.
the electoral college can in theory vote for just about anyone qualified; the house can challenge and throw out selected electoral votes, and eventually vote themselves to determine the president under certain conditions.
prior to that, state and federal laws and courts may provide remedies such as recounts and challenges and so on.
but there are aggressive deadlines for all that stuff, and in short, it's too late now.

8. Isn't it treason if we show Trump was involved?
Why do we have to just live with this fraudulent outcome?

10. There is no constitutional provision for any such thing.
Of course, people should know that already.
There are no election do-overs.

What liberals want or do not want has no relevance to anything. That was true way before 2016.

Dear dummies:
Your election was stolen meme is old and out of date. Get some new material please. Hint: Work on bouncies. Those provide us with amusement.
-
It's completely untested water, but I believe it would be impossible to impeach the President, once sworn in, for any acts occurring prior to his assumption of office.

Dear DUmmies,
You don't get a mulligan if your side loses.
That is all.
-
Even if it were possible, what would you do? Tell the voters to forget what they gleaned from the e-mails?
-
Who is it in the DUmmie's world who has the authority to deny the President-elect his presidential office? While at the same time having the authority to dictate to the fifty states and the District of Columbia that each must prepare and have another election?
Who is this person or entity with so much power? The Magic Negro? Congress? Diana Ginsburg & The Supremes? Joe Biden?

Redo-mas?
1461 Impeach-mases? 3922? :yahoo:

*Yawn*
You DUmmies really need a new routine. This one bores me.

It's January 6. This thread is Hilarious!

17. Sigh
And we laughed at dRump when he said he wouldn't automatically accept election results.
Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million:
http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/california
California results:
Hillary Clinton 8,753,788
Donald J. Trump 4,483,810
Difference: 4,269,978
http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/new-york
New York results:
Hillary Clinton 4,547,218
Donald J. Trump 2,814,346
Difference: 1,732,872
Total difference: 6,002,850
If she won the popular vote by 3 million, that means Trump won the other 49 separate elections by 3,002,850.
The voice the other 49 elections have is the electoral college. I don't like it, you don't like it, none of us like it, but it's the system we have.
Civics 101: There is NO national election. There are 51 separate elections where the popular vote counts. (50 states plus D.C.). The popular vote in each individual state is what counts.
It's theoretically possible Hillary could have won every vote in California and New York (20,599,162) and won by popular vote, yet STILL lost by the same electoral margin.
OK, which of you decided to expose your troll?
