Meanwhile, the nation will suffer.

But this is par for the course for Hillary Clinton ... she is the consummate insider, she is an integral part of the oligarchy; the idea that she would seriously challenge the system in simply inconceivable.

Truth is, her team investigated the issue of a recount and came to the conclusion that not only would the optics have been horrible, but there's virtually no chance she would've found the tens of thousands of votes in three states necessary to swing the election.

On both points, sadly, they're likely correct.
