The times have changed for 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, as Guy Benson discusses at TownHall.com.
Once upon a time, Hillary Clinton thought the prospect of a presidential candidate declining to pledge to absolutely accept the sanctity of certified election results was “horrifying.” She said so in a general election debate in order to attack Donald Trump — who, at the time, was (recklessly) leaving the door open to challenge the outcome of an election most people expected him to lose. Chief among these people was Hillary Clinton. That’s why she excoriated his dodging and noncommittal answers on the question as dangerous to American democracy. …
… Times have changed. In a new interview with left-wing magazine Mother Jones, Clinton refuses to concede that the election she lost had been legitimate. …
… By “voter suppression,” Clinton is referring in large measure to constitutional and widely popular voter ID laws. This is a ridiculous reason to question the legitimacy of an election. In fact, verifying that more voters are who they said they are actually augments the legitimacy of an election. But her primary argument here is “Russia!” — whose attempted interference in the election is being investigated from all angles, as it should be. But there is not a shred of evidence that a single vote tally was changed by the Russians, despite debunked conspiracy theories believed by most Democrats.
