    Gallup polls conducted after the 2000 election show almost a third of Al Gore voters refused to accept Bush as the legitimate president just one month before his inauguration, and an overwhelming majority of Democrats refused to say Bush had won fairly.
    Post-election Gallup polling shows 74 percent of Gore voters said it was”unfair” that Bush won the electoral college without winning the popular vote.
    Almost 70 percent of African-Americans said they felt “cheated” by the election’s outcome, and 40 percent said they would not accept Bush as the legitimate president. Just seven percent of African-Americans said Bush won “fair and square.”
    Among all Gore voters, 31 percent said Bush “stole” the election. That rate rose to 50 percent among African-American voters. 49 percent of Democrats said Bush “Won on a technicality.” Just 18 percent of Democrats said that Bush “won fair and square.”
    Gallup polling conducted from December 15-17, 2000 — barely a month before Bush’s inauguration — showed that 30 percent of Gore’s voters still refused to accept Bush as a legitimate president.
    Exactly half of Gore voters said the entire election process had been permanently harmed by Bush’s victory.
    More recently, Republican nominee Donald Trump has claimed that the election is going to be “rigged” by pro-Hillary Clinton forces. (RELATED: Second O’Keefe Video Shows Dem Operative Boasting About Voter Fraud)
    Members of Trump’s inner circle have tried to justify Mr. Trump’s claims by pointing out Gore’s refusal to accept the election results in 2000. (RELATED: Al Gore Didn’t Automatically Accept Results Of 2000 Election, Top Trump Supporters Point Out)
    “Peaceful transfer of power is important, but the accuracy of the election — as Al Gore pointed out — is even more important,” Mayor Rudy Giuliani said.
    Critics, however, argue that Trump is undermining democracy by refusing to accept the election results before they happen.

    Tell your mom to let some more air down in the basement for you. Do you know what post-election means?

    Al Gore didn't accept the Florida count. POST ELECTION.

    Hilary herself said last night that after the election everyone must come together and accept the result when she didn't even do that in 2000. Hillary is corrupt, liar, two faced, hypocrite just like the rest of her party.

    Well if you're going to ignore history, and the documented speech I posted, then I can't help you. Good luck. You'll need it... bigly.

    Majority, of Democrats did not accept the results of that election. Hell, even Bernie Sanders supporters didn't accept the result of the primary.

    Of course he accepted the results and conceded to Mr Bush.. After the recount was stopped and the SC declared Mr Bush the winner.

    What he didn't do was spend 6 months before the election whining about voter fraud and throwing a tantrum like a child refusing to accept the outcome of the election.

    See the difference?

    Trump isn't talking voter fraud out of the blue. There are MANY cases of voter fraud where the dead are voting, phony info and voters getting bussed in across states


    But obviously you are Hillary nut so you have your head up in your ass and refuse to acknowledge that our voting system is not perfect and can easily be manipulated.

    RocketsLegend and his Trump supporters are living proof that college should be affordable to everyone in America. Damn these guys need an education.

    It's easy for Trump to tell lies and say nonsense when his supporters are so poorly educated that they have no idea it's nonsense.

    LMAO Coming from a guy who the only college campus he stepped inside was a community college, this statement is gold. nice pivot from the actual topic. Let me guess putin used his special karate technique to make the Democrats say those things.

    Did this guy make a bet to leave the forum forever If Clinton wins? Is his pride clock ticking?

    There's such a stark contrast between the two it's not even funny. I would take you more seriously if you actually studied history, political science, etc. but it's clear you have a very limited worldview. The Florida election was razor-thin. Hell they even called it for Gore early in the night then had to retract it during re-count. It was a very tumultuous time but I'm sure you weren't alive or old enough to know about it firsthand.

    If Trump loses by one state (let's say it comes down to Ohio) and the results are within a percentage point, BY ALL MEANS he would have justification to pout and challenge the results as much as he pleases. But for Trump to complain this early, before all the votes have been cast, is monumentally different.

    Gore lost by 500 something votes. Trump might be lucky if he doesn't lose by 15,000,000

    I hope RL starts a life long search for the 15 million dead people and illegals after the election.

    If Trump were to get almost a million more votes than Clinton but lose the electoral. Sheesh people that support Trump are freakin bottom of the barrel.

    There is a reason Repubs are about to lose the popular vote 6 out of 7 elections. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    It's proof that the only people who really support Trump are white males with no college degrees. That's why his base is so susceptible to the BS that he spews, they don't know any better. Rational, intelligent, and educated people see through all of it so it doesn't work on us.
