Final Presidential Debate Live In Las Vegas Tonight (The Bad Hombres Edition)

Wish he would've followed up "bad hombres" with "say hello to my little friend(wall)!" or "badges(open borders)! we don't need no stinkin badges(open borders)!". He could've been on a roll.
Al Gore refused to accept the certified election results of the state of Florida in 2000.
He then engaged in a 36 day legal battle to overturn the results he thought were flawed.
When the Supreme Court ruled against him he finally conceded.

What is the difference between Trump's unwillingness to accept or reject election results in advance and Gore's rejection of Florida's results?

Oh. I know. One is hypothetical. The other is not.
The Flase equivalency king strikes again!

there were no "certified election results" in the state of Florida in the wake of election day 2000. The initial count separated the candidates by a margin less than 1% which provides a legal and legitimate course for a recount which Al Gore requested.

And when the conservative-majority Supreme Court finalized the election result Al Gore accepted their verdict without crying about "rigged elections". And unlike Trump there was plenty of evidence to support that position - even if he didn't choose to pursue it.

- George Bush's brother purged 50,000 voters from registration in Florida - many who were legitimate voters who only found out they were disenfranchised on voting day
Politifact - 2000 Florida Voter purge Considering the final vote tally seperated the candidates by less than 1000 votes one could make a well grounded argument the democratic process was undermined by state officials in Florida.

Gore made a selfless decision to avoid civil unrest. We'll see how selfless Donal Trump is on November 9. I might suggest he look that word up in the dictionary before then.

Gee. I seem to remember George W. Bush being declared a winner in Florida and Gore not accepting that result until after a legal battle. So you're saying that Gore wasn't 'selfless' on November 7 2000? You're saying there may be legitimate reasons a Presidential Candidate might challenge the results on election day? And when Trump responded: "I will look at it at the time. I'm not looking at anything now. I'll look at it at the time," it's really no different than Gore looking at what happened in Florida at the time. My God the Hypocrisy runs deep in PJ.


You got to see Liary do what she does best, when she danced around the question about Pay to Play with her Clinton Foundation.

Gee - you seem to be (purposefully?) obtuse regarding election procedure. Following the legal, and frequently utilized recount protocol of an election within the margin of error
....is the same thing as ...
baselessly crying about an election being rigged before the election even takes place.

And Trump's argument is not abstractly based upon hypothetical "legitimate reasons" as you pretend. He laid out his case last night:
-The media is talking about his accusers of sexual assault (how dare they!)
- Hillary's sleazy campaign is behind all of that (zero evidence of any kind)
- Massive voter fraud happening in cities like Cleveland, Chicago, St Louis (zero evidence of any kind)

So, Alan, show us the exercise in logic that equates conspiracy theories with legitimate election protocol.

This from the guy who said that in the debates, Mr. Trump was going to be Secretary Clinton's "worst nightmare."
So the lva liberal gang is in favor of 4 more years of 1% GDP, (which would be a 12 year record low) more unemployment, rising deficits & chaos in the middle east

I said that from the context that she didn't know what he would or if he would drop a bomb. I note how you can't defend her dancing around the questions. Do you really want a woman who is this crooked and this dishonest, for our president? I don't think Nixon did anything worse than she has, and he had to resign.

She got caught in another lie on her on again and off again open borders. I think Trump brought up a very good point about ISIS already being here.
