Hold the phone there, Brady. This article decries a "rant" by Krugman about unsubstantiated suspicions about a hacked election being crazy. And you said that Krugman went off the deep end.
Funny, the president-elect just alleged - without proof - that voter fraud cost him the popular vote lead in the election.

I do not recall you taking the time to refer to that as going off the deep end. 



And, Less than an hour a go you wrote this about Stein's call for a recount.

However, I would not discount the Dems going to Stein and asking her to be "the face" of this request.  This all started when the aforementioned J Alex Halderman went to the Clinton Campaign and suggested their could have been voter fraud in WI, MI and PA and they should request recounts.  It is entirely possible people within the Clinton campaign wanted to pursue this, but knew they couldn't be leading the charge for a recount when they so thoroughly denounced Trump claiming the election was rigged without further damaging the Dem brand.  So maybe they "encouraged" Halderman and Stein to work together on this and have her lead the charge.

Like I said, I don't think it is the most likely scenario of what happened, but it is not out of the realm of possibility.

From the article:

Responding to a story that North Carolina governor Pat McCrory is attempting to challenge the election results in that state’s gubernatorial race, Krugman tweeted:

The assault on democracy extends well beyond Trump. This is an attempted coup 

Got that? When a Republican challenges the results of an election, it’s a “coup.” When the loser is a Democrat, however, such a challenge is absolutely necessary, “just in case.” The next four years are not going to be kind to Paul Krugman and to people like him: they are going to discredit themselves even more thoroughly than they already have, all under the auspices of an insufferable, smarmy intellectual superiority. Can you imagine what it will be like for them when Trump wins a second time?

BTW, The NC governor lost by 4800 votes, calls for a recount and it is a coup.  Clinton lost by margins much greater than that, and there needs to be a recount, just in case.  I'd say Krugman has lost it

BTW, look at the articles that Payne has written for the Federalist. See any pattern ?

Do you see any patterns on articles written by Krugman?  They wouldn't happen to all be biased in favor of a liberal opinion, would they?

The pattern I notice is anytime someone posts an article here written by someone that isn't liberal, the first response is to point out the article is written by someone with a conservative/right-leaning bent.  But the same people who point this out, have no problem accepting all the articles written by people/media sources with liberal biases.

Sure he is. 

Payne looks to be a liberal hater. 

 

And Krugman is a liberal who attacks and hates Republicans and conservatives.  So I am sure you have an issue with everything he writes as well, correct?
