WOULD YOU PLEASE GO AWAY – AT 12:31 P.M. ET:   As the Georgia and Florida recounts continue, Hillary Clinton announces her presence by claiming that Stacey Abrams would already be governor of Georgia if the election were "fair." 

Let me explain:  In the Democratic Party dictionary, "fair" means "We won."  "Unfair" means "We lost."  Please practice that.  From Fox: 

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Tuesday questioned the legitimacy of Georgia’s gubernatorial contest, saying Democrat Stacey Abrams would have already won the uncalled contest if the election was fair.

“If she had a fair election, she already would have won,” Clinton said Tuesday night at the University of Texas at Austin, where she accepted an award.

Clinton, who may be considering another run for president in 2020, accused the “people on the other side” of “undoing” voting rights in the election. Supporters of Abrams have made accusations of voter suppression, long voting lines and other balloting problems.

“Stacey is really in the arena and she is fighting for the right to vote and have your vote counted,” Clinton said, praising Abrams “for continuing that fight."

During the 2016 contest, Clinton expressed worry that then-candidate Donald Trump wouldn’t accept defeat if she beat him in the election.

COMMENT:  One of the operational characteristics of the left is the attempt to de-legitimatize everyone else.  If you aren't for us, you're a (check one) 1) racist 2) sexist 3) imperialist 4) capitalist pig) or 5) religious extremist.   Or, of course, you could be an oil-company executive.  We are the good people.  If you vote for the other side, you're voting against our "values" and therefore your vote is illegitimate.

I have no doubt that there are attempts to suppress votes.  I also have no doubt that there are other attempts to "find" votes that mysteriously are found after elections.  And I've noticed that those "found" votes tend to be overwhelmingly Democratic.  Just sayin'.

Let the counting continue and winners be declared.  If Republicans win you may be sure that there will be many journalistic investigations of rigged voting.  If the Democrats win those investigations will disappear.

In the meantime, I wish Hillary Clinton would contemplate the joys of retirement.
