    The polls were wrong in 2016, so there's that. Then you're attempting to equate votes cast with the sense of legitimacy of the voting process, so your argument completely falls flat.

    Just because people believe something doesn't make it true nor does it make them smart. There was no fraud.

    You should have stopped at "agree", instead of dumping gasoline on your smoldering argument. Now it's on fire again, as in pants on fire.

    Actually it's only 2% but I'll accept the premise of your argument.

    A hearing of flat earthers v. sherical would allow both sides to present their arguments. That's what Cruz was asking for.

    I disagree, the truth is important.

    Your hero is about to be impeached again.

    We've been hearing the other side's arguments since Nov 3rd. They carry just as much water as flat Earth theory does.

    Why would ANYONE debate vs flat Earth in this day and age? Why coddle MORONS?

    No you haven't. All libs here have been in lock-step denial that there was any evidence.

    They were, in court and in the State Houses, those are the proper and Constitutional places for them to be head.

    Not a part of the Constitution. But what portion makes your argument? I have studied it several times.

    Here is a link to it so you can find the portions you are referencing....

    I was comparing the accuracy of the election poll with the actual vote total showing fraud was unlikely. Those doubting the legitimacy of the election are motivated more by partisan belief than reality.

    The simple and easy truth is that there was no fraud capable of causing Trump to lose. Trump lost because 81 million plus voters voted for other candidates.

    Your statements show you don't give a damn about the actual truth. You have convinced yourself that outlandish fantasies are true and I doubt even medication would bring you back to reality.
    Medication doesn't help happily complacent ignorance and stupidity. It will also only help with ego if it's caused by mental dysfunction like mental illness or chemical imbalance.
