Well no, the germane part that is central to the discussion is that You lied flat out, as I indicated.
So now, since You lied and stated that No Democrat believe that Trump is an illegitimate President, and I proved you wrong you now want to try and spin what you said?
The communist's written words: "
I, and I suspect most Democrats, believe the Russians illegitimately influenced the outcome of the 2016 election but that does not mean I or others think the election of Trump in 2016 was illegitimate and neither did Hillary Clinton"
It is almost comical just how STUPID you are, and the sad thing is that day after day, you put your stupidity on display for not only everyone in this forum, but for the entire world of Astromart to see, if they care to do so.
Then You actually wrote
this bit of a completely moronic response:
"Carter’s position is a matter of opinion. There is no hard evidence that Trump wouldn’t have prevailed without Russian help"
LOL! So how does that statement of yours above change the fact that you lied and said that No Democrats believe that Trump is an illegitimate President??
Because it is Carter's
Opinion, that somehow means that Carter doesn't believe what he said?
Same with Hilary Clinton. You lied when you claimed that No Democrat believes that Trump is an illegitmate President.
She may have conceded the next day, but months later and today she still claims that Trump is/was an illegitimate President.
So her statement directly contradicts your lie where you said: "
but that does not mean I or others think the election of Trump in 2016 was illegitimate and neither did Hillary Clinton"I have to now ask, it is imperative for me to ask you.
Are you mentally deranged or just plain Stupid??

So the supporter of the Putin caucus in congress is back with his usual and customary vitriol of name calling and derogatory statements that denotes his status of his inhabitation in the evangelical capital of the world on the day before Good Friday.
Hmm, how to respond? I know, let's start with FACTS and not opinion polls or cherry picked words or statements:
"But the reality is, while Democrats expressed disappointment at the 2016 election results, most of the party’s leadership in Congress, the White House and at the Democratic National Committee congratulated then-President-elect Trump."
"Emily W. Murphy, Trump’s head of the General Services Administration, has refused to recognize the incoming Biden administration. The GSA’s recognition would kick off the formal transition process, and by refusing to acknowledge Biden’s victory the agency is making clear that it won’t get ahead of the President."
"Yet the day after the 2016 election, then-President Barack Obama ordered the White House to ensure a smooth transition, including the GSA."
"Clinton delivered a speech the day after her election loss congratulating Trump."
“Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country,” she said. “Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power and we don’t just respect that, we cherish it.”
"n comparison with McConnell’s refusal to acknowledge Trump’s loss, Chuck Schumer of New York, the then-incoming Democratic minority leader in the Senate, took the opposite approach, and congratulated Trump.
“President-elect Trump called me this morning, and I congratulated him on his victory,” Schumer wrote in a Facebook post the day after the election. “Last night the American people exercised their sacred right to vote and made their voices known, electing Donald Trump to the Presidency,"
"Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California refused to acknowledge Trump’s loss on Thursday and declined to say if Biden should receive classified intelligence briefings.
“He’s not president right now,” McCarthy said. “I don’t know if he’ll be president on January 20th, but whoever is will get the information.”
"In 2016, Nancy Pelosi of California was House minority leader for the Democrats and acknowledged the election results the day Trump’s victory was called.
“The peaceful transfer of power is the cornerstone of our democracy,” Pelosi said. “After an election in which Donald Trump won the electoral college and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, we have a responsibility to come together and find common ground.”
"Pelosi concluded her statement by saying: “I congratulate President-elect Trump and his family, and pray for his success.”
"Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory or work toward a smooth transition, saying on Tuesday that “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” igniting a furor and roiling diplomats."
"On November 10, 2016, one day after the race was called, then-Secretary of State John Kerry took the opposite approach: congratulating Trump and pledging a peaceful transfer of power."

It goes on and on with the actions of those involved at the highest levels of power and what a stark contrast indeed...
