In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4--

states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!

Have his supporters (esp. in the Senate/House) no shame? Are they not embarrassed by this buffoon? As an American, I sure am.

(15,703 posts)"Trump claims millions voted illegally in Twitter tirade against recounts"
Trump calls Clintons taking part in the recount sad and said it was a scam that Green Party nominee Jill Stein was revisiting the vote count in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence Sunday that millions voted illegally in the national election, scoffing at Hillary Clintons nearly 2 million edge in the popular vote and returning to his campaign mantra of a rigged race even as he prepares to enter the White House in less than two months.
Trump and his lieutenants assailed an effort now joined by Clinton to recount votes in up to three battleground states, calling the push fraudulent, the work of crybabies and, in Trumps estimation, sad.
The president-elect went on to cast a shadow over the legitimacy of an election that he actually won, tweeting that I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. He provided further contended that if the popular vote determined the presidency, It would have been much easier for me to win it because he would have altered his campaign to pile up overall vote totals, not Electoral College votes.

Trump Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway delivered a threat to prosecute Hillary Clinton if she pursues the recount during an interview on CNN's State Of The Union.
Full transcript via CNNs State Of The Union: ....
.......... The president doesnt make decisions on who gets prosecuted and who doesnt. That is not how our system works. Secondly, Donald Trump isnt the president yet, so he has no say on what happens. What comes out of Kellyanne Conways mouth is usually a direct message from Trump Tower.
Conway was issuing a not so thinly veiled threat to Hillary Clinton. If Clintons team continues to assist with the recount, the former Secretary of State may face prosecution. The incoming administration is expressing their willingness to punish anyone who questions or expresses dissent.
If Trump is so confident in the election results, why is he so rattled by this recount? ....
