Wisconsin Recount Confirms Trump...

... next front to be opened is the "Russian thumb print on the presidential election" assault. (I do admire that metaphor and its clever innuendo, coming, of course from one of CNN's experts. So unlike the comments by the same channel and its experts when Trump made suggestions of vote-rigging ahead of the result).

Is there a question here? Yes, what do you think of it so far?

It does suggest the US has a less than ideal system for choosing its president, regardless of who benefits or loses.

I completely reject the implication in the original question that there is a "campaign" to undermine Trump's presidency. He doesn't need that :-)

I am not sure "what do you think of it so far" refers to though.

"Popular vote" is becoming a tiresome mantra as well as being irrelevant. The magnitude of the Trump victory should be assessed by a different metric - the size of the forces arraigned against him. These include:

All the media (excepting Breibart and Fox).
The Clinton campaign team and grass-roots organisation.
The whole of the entertainment industry.
The whole of academia.
Generation Snowflake.
The block vote of the 20,30, 40,50 (?)million voters living on welfare.
All of the Democratic Party.
Half the Republican Party.
And last, but not least, Trump himself.

In my book that makes his victory near miraculous.

Think of it so far? Just wanted comments. Thanks to all contributors

Yes the victory was near miraculous.
It is worth reflecting on why so many people were so opposed to him though.
He pulled off a great victory, there is no denying it. There is also the reality that most Americans who voted did not vote for him, so a measure of humility might have been advisable and some attemopt to patch up a divided country. Scant sign of that so far.

And why there is genuine alarm now.

There is only alarm from lefties, particularly the liberal elite. And they should be worried.

[ichkeria]

There is plenty of alarm from the right I think you'll find as well

Are lefties , liberal elites ?
