Republicans tend to be more mature about not winning than democrats. I'm not going to burn down the businesses in my community when I need those businesses.

The Bush Campaign Plotted to Reject Election Results in 2000

While it’s almost forgotten now,*the George W. Bush campaign was planning to challenge the results of the 2000 vote if he lost the electoral vote, but won the popular vote. His campaign*hoped to spark a national movement*to pressure members of the Electoral College in states where the popular vote went*for Al Gore to ignore*that and instead vote in line with the national popular vote — thus making Bush president.

In the end, the reverse*happened. Bush won the Electoral College vote while losing the popular vote.

But in the weeks*before*the November 7, 2000, election,*it seemed more likely that Gore would get a majority of electoral votes, while Bush, lifted*by a wide margin in his home state of Texas, would have the most votes*by actual people. This possibility was*widely discussed, including in the Boston Globe and Christian Science Monitor and in an Associated Press polling analysis.

Gore was even preemptively criticized for winning under these circumstances. It “would be an outrage” said*Rep. Ray LaHood, R.-Ill.

NBC’s Chris Matthews said that*“knowing him as we do, [Gore] may have no problem taking the presidential oath after losing the popular vote to George W. Bush.” (Matthews lost interest in this issue when the opposite occurred. He later said that he himself had voted for Bush in 2000.)

I'm all for a GOP G.N.H.F.(Great National Hissy Fit). You morons on the left are going to be out in the cold for so long, you're going to need the entertainment. But if it happens, I do hope the R's exercise a little more decorum than the neo-comms. Right now, you're just embarrassing yourselves.

holy shit GROW THE FUCK UP cypress. My god your brain is fried, you are STILL stuck in bush days. That shit has been over for more than 8 years now. We've had 2 presidents since then. I feel like bush was old news like when justplainpolitics started in 2006. my god man did you get stuck in a time loop?

your post is retarded. No one can blame anyone close to the presidency from exhausting all options. This thread isn't about bush's opinions it's a question directed directly to JPP.

A better question is will you suddenly be OK with it happening if a Democrat does it? We both know you will be and say nothing about it.
 
keep in mind, the whole calculus of political campaigning in the US is based on the electoral college system, especially swing states. if we switched to the popular vote, that would change everyone's strategies.

In the 2016, Donald Trump campaigned based on the system we use to elect a President while Hillary campaigned on winning a type of vote that doesn't make the determination. Sad part is when she lost, her supporters still bring up she won something that isn't part of the contest.
 
I know the rules, and I think they're fair.

With that said, I'll be sure to give whiny liberals a taste of their own medicine.

Besides, everyone knows Hillary's popular vote victory is a result of illegal voters. Take away those illegal votes from illegal voters, and Trump wins the popular vote, too.

Why ask a stupid ass question when history demonstrates the fact that the GOP has readily accepted the reality of the Electoral College v. Popular vote defeat? Only radicals cry foul when they lose because they are on the wrong side of the RULE OF LAW.

The reality of history points out the fact that the POPULAR vote was never even considered until 1824....almost 50 years after the US declared its independence. And there has only been one example in US history were a candidate won the "MAJORITY" of the popular yet lost the election because of the EC vote....that was in 1876.

FYI: CLINTON did not win the majority of the popular vote...she won a plurality of the votes.

But to answer your question of what would the GOP do if there was SUSPECT that cheating was involved with both the popular vote and the EC? Just look to the 1960 election Kennedy v. Nixon. Nixon did not choose to go to court the way Al Gore did in 2000 when there was obvious challenges that existed with the actual vote in consideration of the POPULAR VOTE and the EC VOTE.....why? Because Kennedy won the EC vote and the popular vote was and remains "moot" to any presidential election. FYI: Nixon won the "majority"...of the states, yet decided not to pursue legal actions but accepted the results for "the good of the nation". Nixon lost because of 14 "un-pledged" southern electors who cast their votes for a 3rd candidate. A legal challenge COULD have been launched and went on for months if not years in the court system...but again, THE GOP stepped aside for the good of the nation....unlike Gore in 2000 or the DNC in 2016 who are still bitching about the election....who threatened EC electors and their families....who demanded recount after recount in states they knew they did not win...etc.

So you can stick your biased and bigoted HYPOTHETICAL up your own parties rear end.

The better question is, would you be satisfied if another Republican wins with a popular vote of 3 million more votes from Texas?
