It has never mattered to him in his whole life. Just pay the lawyers and problems are over. Why should this be any different?

It doesn't matter who ran, the Russians were going to hack the tabulators and Drumpf was going to win.

when they said "We got robbed!". I heard the same crap on Morning Joe this morning. Certain people only care about poor, white voters.

how you come to that conclusion. Since the election was manipulated, can you be so confident that "so many" people actually "didn't bother to vote" ? I suspect that millions of votes were thrown out or redirected and some simply not recorded... just trying to be consistent here.

because, you know ( not allowed to say here, will get in trouble)

And many of them are still convinced there is not enough difference in the parties to matter and if they dont get their preferred candidate, wont vote.

or vote 3rd party.

And of course the russians hacked everything, voter suppression was HUGE and I am certain they flipped votes on election day, the russians.

Even with all that, if all progressives show up to vote, we win.

If he does not resign, he can be impeached. There are more than enough reasons right now.
When he is impeached, he can arrested, as a citizen, by NY State 's Attorney General for RICO.

say he is impeached, and Pence is at bat. Co-conspirator of obstruction himself, re: Flynn. Can't pardon Trump for any Federal crimes.

has nothing to do with who voted when.
