Imagine if Hillary Clinton had acted like President Trump after she lost the 2016 election | PennLive letters – pennlive.com

I wonder what the response from Donald Trump and his supporters would have been if following the 2016 general election, defeated opponent Hillary Clinton had engaged in a constant drumbeat of condemning the election process, telling the American people that she had won.

What if she had repeatedly gone to state and federal court to try to have millions of legally cast votes in areas of the country that favored Trump thrown out and if she had blasted Democratic officials who failed to nullify the election as hapless and enemies of the people?

What if her comments had caused the duly elected president and his family to be the recipients of death threats and if when challenged for her incendiary rhetoric, she doubled down on it, continuing to tell her followers that the contest was rigged?

The president and the shameless cowards within his party who stand by him are attempting to shred our democracy, to force minority rule on our country, and even worse, their actions are causing honorable elected and appointed officials who do not toe the Trump line to fear for their lives.

In the short term, they are menaces to our country, its people, and our democracy. In the years to come, they will land on the scrapheap of history.
