As you probably already know, there is a recount happening in several key battleground states, states with enough electoral votes to swing the election. Surely Donald Trump must be shaking in Trump tower. He very well may be. Trump promptly went on a Twitter rant, saying the he “would have won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally”. If this is truly the case, then a recount would be a great idea for Donald Trump. The thing is, he doesn’t care about the rules as long they benefit him. For example, on November 6, 2012, he called the electoral college a “Disaster for democracy”. This in of its self, is true, but that’s a story of another time. The story of now is how Trump now calls the electoral college “genius” despite allowing Hillary Clinton to lose the election with the largest margin of popular vote victory  in 140 years. Of course, we all remember when Donald Trump said the election was rigged if he lost. Now that he has won, he does not believe that the election is rigged. Convenient, isn’t it? Strangely enough, he just made his own case for the recount. If Trump thinks the popular vote was rigged, shouldn’t he file for a recount? He says there was voter fraud in 2 battleground states, Virgina and New Hampshire, along with blue state California. Well first of all, he just said that Clinton should accept the election results, despite his claim of them being rigged. This made me step back and say “What?”First of all, it does not make any sense for Clinton to rig Californa, the most liberal states in the union. Secondly, if he feels that way, the recount needs to happen.
