No matter how well an elected Republican president performs in office, ever since the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration, Democrats have demanded that the election results be reversed.
Two weeks before the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton tweeted, “Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy.”
As a Democrat she should know something about not respecting election results.
As a Democrat she should know something about not respecting election results.
Since Jan. 20, 1961, when Eisenhower left office, Democrats have introduced impeachment articles against every single elected Republican president.
From the moment Donald Trump was elected president, the word “impeach” has been on the lips of many, if not most, Democrats, and for a laundry list of reasons.
They include violation of the Emoluments Clause, collusion with Russia, obstruction of justice, and secret dealings with Ukraine.
Within days of Trump’s inauguration, Mark Zaid, attorney for an alleged Trump whistleblower, tweeted, “#coup has started. First of many steps. #rebellion. #impeachment will follow ultimately. #lawyers”
It didn’t take long. Less than six months later Democratic Reps. Al Green of Texas and Brad Sherman of California introduced H. Res. 438, which was tabled. It only escalated from there.
Less than three years in office, Trump has created nearly 4 million jobs and dropped unemployment to a 49-year low.
He pushed for massive tax cuts, lifted nearly 3.9 million people off food stamps, and economic growth hit 4.2 percent during the last quarter.
For nearly 60 years Democrats have dishonored the will of the people through attempts to overthrow the elections of GOP presidents.
And it didn’t matter what they may have accomplished or by what margin they may have won (Reagan took 49 of the 50 states in his mega-landslide re-election).
Though not her intention, Clinton may have said it best: Democrats refuse to "respect the results" of elections — each and every time.
