Oh well ......

edit to add when I wrote Clinton people I should have wrote Clinton operatives

I've had it. DK504 Nov 2016 #29

to bad. The count goes forth MFM008 Nov 2016 #2

Actually the context of what the Obama administration said was that it believed the election still_one Nov 2016 #3

Must be more of that 3-dimensional chess and rope-a-dope, I keep hearing about. Hugin Nov 2016 #5

Um, it's certainly the job of a President, I think, to inspire confidence in the voters. randome Nov 2016 #15

There is little to no confidence out there. Democrats need to see some action. Hugin Nov 2016 #18

Or he's correct and there is no mathematically relevant issue at hand. randome Nov 2016 #19

If that's the case then it will ultimately increase confidence in the Electoral System. Hugin Nov 2016 #20

Almost six million dollars has been turned over to the Green Party / Jill Stein oberliner Nov 2016 #32

She still has over a million to go before the expected lawyer fees are met. anamandujano Nov 2016 #34
