Biden’s lead in the popular vote has just surpassed 5m
It’s not surprising that DJT is contesting this election. After all, he bitched and moaned about the one that he WON forever and a day! 
But the ones who “call” elections are usually the networks or AP. Couldn’t one of those call GA before the recount? It might help blunt the whackos, inc. Trump.
My assumption is that the AP could call Georgia, but feels that there’s no point in doing so, since it’s going to a recount.
Well now I’m back out on the ledge again. I don’t know what to DO about this. If the so-called professionals don’t know how to improve their messaging… I’m at a loss.
I remember an excerpt from AP’s election guidelines saying they won’t call a race that is inside the mandatory recount limit for a given state.
I believe it is state law, nothing to do with the frivolous trump lawsuits.
A GA recount could ultimately help the Trump dead enders finally accept that Trump legitimately lost.
Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there!
So you think “reality” might appeal?
Nah. Not a chance.
According to Ballotpedia, recounts in Georgia can be requested by an election official before certification if there is an apparent error or discrepancy in the returns. Candidates can request a recount within two days of certification if the margin is within .5%.
Finally heard from my trumper pal. He says get ready for gulags, as that’s what the Democratic party will be having. Myself, I think journalists, especially Acosta’s job got way easier. There won’t be any combative questions ever again.
As has been said previously, the current recount in Georgia has nothing to do with any request from a candidate.
Seriously? Why would you think that? The press corps ask all sorts of questions, and many will be tough.
I welcome that. How many hard questions did Obama get?
Jesus, really?
From one press conference:
A couple of questions on national security. On Syria, you said that the red line was not just about chemical weapons being used but being spread, and it was a game-changer – it seemed cut and dry. And now your administration seems to be suggesting that line is not clear. Do you risk U.S. credibility if you don’t take military action?
And then on Benghazi, there are some survivors of that terror attack who say they want to come forward and testify – some in your State Department – and they say they’ve been blocked. Will you allow them to testify?
Q Thank you, Mr. President. There’s a report that your Director of National Intelligence has ordered a broad review – this is regards to the Boston Marathon bombing – that your DNI has ordered a broad review of all the intelligence-gathering prior to the attack. There is also a series of senators – Susan Collins, Saxby Chambliss, Lindsey Graham – who allege that all these years after 9/11, there still wasn’t enough intelligence shared prior to the attack. And now, Lindsey Graham, who is a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, has said that Benghazi and Boston are both examples of the U.S. going backwards on national security. Is he right? And did our intelligence miss something?
Q Mr. President, you are a hundred days into your second term. On the gun bill, you put, it seems, everything into it to try to get it passed. Obviously, it didn’t. Congress has ignored your efforts to try to get them to undo these sequester cuts. There’s even a bill that you threatened to veto that got 92 Democrats in the House voting yes. So my question to you is do you still have the juice to get the rest of your agenda through this Congress?
Q Mr. President, as you’re probably aware, there’s a growing hunger strike on Guantanamo Bay among prisoners there. Is it any surprise really that they would prefer death rather than have no end in sight to their confinement?
Q Mr. President, thank you. Max Baucus, Democratic Senator, referred to the implementation as your health care law as a potential train wreck. And other Democrats have been whispering nervousness about the implementation and the impact – and it’s all self-centered a little bit – the impact that it might have on their own political campaigns in 2014. Why do you think – just curious – why does Senator Baucus, somebody who ostensibly helped write your bill, believe that this is going to be a train wreck? And why do you believe he’s wrong?
You may find this hard to believe, but prior to 2016, presidential press conferences were neither uncommon nor memorable.
All presidents get asked tough questions. Don’t confuse that with the current occupant of the White House, who whines about being asked unfairly tough questions when reporters and interviewers call him out on the lies and bullshit that he says.
My fault, I didn’t have cable back then. Sry. I did love the recent Are you a sore loser question
