The guy is a hero of Civil Rights, no denying it. Trump of course attacked him personally, as he will no doubt do about 100,000 more times during his tenure in office with people, but that's a non-starter for a man with his resume.
That being said, this is also the guy who skipped Bush II's inauguration b/c HE wasn't a "legitimate President" and compared John McCain to George McGovern. So it's not like he's some guy above politics or exaggeration. he plays the politics game just like any other common politician, and has made more than one false, outlandish, politically motivated comment.
As of now 31 Dems are going to skip the weekend, yet these are the people who were crying about Trump undermining democracy itself when he said he wouldn't a priori agree to accept any election result.
I'm pretty sure all of this hoo-ha is the definition of not accepting an election result, even if you think you may have an excuse or even a good reason (there aren't any in this case, but OK).
Ironically, they are giving the Russians and all our enemies exactly what they want, and exactly what they said Trump would do: they are undermining confidence in the system before the American people, pulling apart the fundamental belief that the RULE OF LAW is more important than who actually wins.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. I get not being happy with the outcome (i wanted Fiorina this time around too), Obama's desire to "transform" my nation into European socialism has had me unhappy for years, but I never claimed he wasn't our President.
