2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Steve Kornacki just reported on MSNBC that the PA vote count difference between Trump and Hillary [View all]SoCalMusicLover
(3,194 posts)6. Did That Happen In 2000?
Once the votes came in, Gore actually won the election. This was of course, reported by the media. I think it made Page 20 of the NYT.
The Democrats and Hillary in particular, will not want a civil war. Just like Gore, just like Kerry, she will smile and say that she's doing what's best for the country, and not fight it.
I remember how Gore said he would fight. How Kerry said he would fight. Give up your belief that Hillary is a fighter, yada yada....
The most our side will gain is more bragging rights. Meanwhile, the repubs will have the scoreboard. Because in politics, it's not how you play the game, it's the final score at the buzzer that matters. And the repubs have already turned off the clock.
