When drumf said "next time we'll win the old fashioned way"

I've brought his comment up before...he said it TWICE just days before Inauguration Day. He was making various stops around D.C., one of which was at ballroom gathering with his "supporters".

At two stops, with TV cameras rolling, he said "NEXT TIME, we will win the old fashioned way".

There's question number one for when he is under oath (yes, I know, he won't ever go under oath). What is/was his definition of OLD FASHIONED WAY in relation to our election system?

The old-fashioned way is to actually win the majority of votes.

As you recall, he made up the lie that Clinton only got more votes due to millions of illegal votes.

He's going to have himself declared emperor. That's a pretty old-fashioned way of "winning elections," after all.



Nah. I think it means there was cheating in the 2016 election and he KNOWS it helped him.

& his 2 mentions of "next time" hit me as bragging, that they actually got away with it.
But not for much longer, I BELIEVE.
