If past is prologue, the losing team in Sunday’s Super Bowl will swallow its bitter disappointment and graciously offer its congratulations to the winners.
Our politics used to be like that. (Snip) Before and after Gore, all those who were defeated licked their wounds in private while publicly bowing to the will of the people.
Except Hillary Clinton. Although she conceded to Donald Trump in November of 2016, she soon made it very clear that she did not consider his victory legitimate.

When I was in middle school (before the rocks cooled), our P.E. coach dressed us down for complaining we lost our game against the other guys because they “cheated.” He discouraged that kind of attitude by making the accusing losers run extra laps around the tracks the next day. He was a Korean War vet and just hated that kind of talk.

Algore didn't lose because of a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling. He lost because he didn't get a majority of electoral votes like almost every other president. He didn't have enough votes in Florida to win the state and the Supreme Court just ended the pointless, endless and highly selective recount attempt. For a year a number of entities tried to find those elusive votes and failed. Just repeating something over and over doesn't make it so.

Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s other Governor, didn’t help matters either...

Up next; The response to the Corona virus! No matter how the President responds, it will be reported as inept. Like "W" and Katrina or the PR aid, federal response was massive, local control corrupt, but the media will, again, put the blame on a President they hate.

Any problems that surface in Georgia need to be blamed on Gov. Abrams and any foreign policy problems we have should be blamed on President Hillary and ex-pres. Obie!

The democrats have changed, but not everyone else. Democrats would murder their opponents if they could. Maybe would, if they could ever make America communist...

"They see fairness only when they win."
AND, they have ALWAYS won in the past. Now, they are never winning and they HATE and FEAR Trump for it.
Even when dems lost elections, they still steered things in the directions they wanted. A lot of things the Republicans "won" delayed their winnings until tomorrows that never came. Meanwhile the dems got real, instant gratifications. They also used the bureaucracy, courts, and media to get what they wanted outside legitimate processes.
Now, Trump has won elections, neutered the media, remade the courts, and is slowly flushing out the bureaucratic Augean stables. Further, he has demonstrated REAL, significant improvements for the American People. As their power imploded, the dems have been exposed as incompetent, corrupt liars.
For dems to concede to Trump would essentially announce that they are a curse on the Country and have no legitimate role to play.
"their self-righteousness is sincere"
If this is true, the dems are delusional and very dangerous. They need some extreme shock therapy which may be delivered in November. In their current incarnation they should be kept as far from the levers of power as possible.

Hillary's display of drunken, crying hysterics on election night is about ten rungs on the ladder below humble concession. She probably won most battles with Slick by using those tactics but it does not become a presidential candidate. Even if it was her turn and she really was cheated in the past, she should have made a stronger effort against Barack Obama instead of accepting a devil's deal to eject Bernie and to be Obama's secstate. She blew it long before 2016.

Re #6 and the coronavirus: It's a sign of the moment, unacknowledged by the Democrat media of course, that no one is looking to leading Democrats for advice on countering the coronavirus.

I think it's funny the author thinks Hitlery could be humble. There's a reason she is disliked by millions and millions of people. I suspect even many of the women who voted for her didn't like her, but they voted for her simply because she was a woman.

Kind of hard to be humble when you are on a Godzilla sized rampage after finding out you lost the race. The Hildabeest is acquainted with many things, but humbleness is certainly not one of them.

Gore called Bush and conceded.
He later called Bush back and "unconceded".
That (and what followed) may be worse than Hillary.

I would argue that Al Gore started the Democrat sore loser parade. He's the one who threw our country into chaos for 38 days until the Supreme Court stopped his attempt to manufacture enough votes to win Florida. Who knows how long it would have continued if they hadn't. When the Supreme Court stopped his cherry-picking, he belatedly tried to be gracious to preserve his chances for a rematch, but his blatant attempt to steal the election showed his true nature.

We know Hillary's first love is money; that being the case I wonder why she hasn't sued her cosmetic surgeon for a pile of it.
As much as I dislike her I have to think that she has a valid case. She looks much worse now than she did before surgery and she didn't look that good back then.

Gack! Yikes! Good God, man, my eyes! Could you please, PLEASE attach a **WARNING** to this story for that photo of the horrifying being that is The Hildabeest? She's looked bad before, but this is a cut above (see what I did there?), or below! Hideous.
Al Gore is the only person in American history who has conceded the same election twice!

One of the most 'telling' points of character is the ability to 'find' (in the legal sense) against one's own interest. Truly 'Nice' people of clear conscience and habitual good will have no trouble giving the opponent the benefit of the doubt and the assumption of good motives and fair play.
Back when wild poodles roamed the planet we used to call it :"Sportsmanship".
But it went out with:"Penmanship"
.....and I'm glad Sister Marie Rose O.P. (Dominican) is not here to see how far we have fallen
despite her heroic efforts to civilize her charges.

Those tennis balls implanted in her cheeks are supposed to take care of the bags under her eyes. Just look at a photo of her from 6 months ago. But all they really accomplished is making her look like a hamster who is storing a month’s worth of sunflower seeds in her pouches. She really should just go home and enjoy her grandchildren and whatever remains of her miserable pathetic life.

I do not think that the HildeBeast has EVER apologized.
EVER, for ANYTHING.
She is composed entirely of Arrogance, Avarice, Corruption and Filth.
It is against her nature to admit that she was ever wrong, ever did wrong, and apologize.... or concede.
I recall the closest she ever came to apologizing. It had to do with a vicious smear she made against one of the young females that Bubba took advantage of, and the incident came to the attention of the media. After public opinion turned against Bubba and the Beast, they said that the young woman "deserved an apology"..... not that they apologized... they DIDN'T, but they admitted that she was OWED an APOLOGY.
Regarding the GorBot, late in the evening of Election Day, George W. Bush was ahead by enough, in enough states, that the Gorbot called Mr. Bush and conceded. An hour later, the Gorbot called Mr. Bush back, and UNCONCEDED.
He then started the campaign of recount, recount, recount.... 40, 50 times it came up for Mr. Bush, but that was not good enough for the GorBot.
If he had had ONE recount showing the GorBot winning, he would have INSISTED that HE was now the winner, and Stop the Counting!
They are both pieces of Filth, eternally sinking deeper and deeper in a bottomless pit of stinking ooze.
Every time you think they have gone as low as they possibly can, they surprise you by sinking ever LOWER.
That just shows that there is NO Bottom, NO limit on how Low they will go.
Personally, I think the HildeBeast would look good in Stripes...... the Black-and-White Horizontal kind!

Complain about the money & time wasted, but when Congress does nothing they are not destroying more of our Freedom. The House has nothing to do anyway, & anything Pelosi comes up with is DOA, so they will spend the next 9 months going after Trump. The Senate is a club for worthless rich people. They could at least be entertaining, but they can't even get that right.
