Like I said, I haven't been paying attention too close. I was so excited when election was over for the sole sake that I would not have ot hear about politics 24/7, yet that was wrong.

But I did see he picked some young lady to be like foreign affairs or something and then people going off about how she has no experience and too young or some such.

But not even in this regard. Look at when Trump was asked if he would accept the results of the election and he said "we'll see" or something like that. The media and people went off on him about how horrible that is. Yet what has been happening since the election. Let's do recounts. Let's abolish electorate college. Let's protest. Ect. Hypocrisy.

Or how about when the first republican debate happened and the first question was something like "do you all swear to accept and support the eventually nominee." Trump was the only one not to raise his hand or say yes. He got hugely boo'd and every politician slamed him for it. Yet what happens when Trump gets teh nominee. Practially half the republicans denounce him and say they will not support him. Hypocrisy.

Hipocrisy and politics go hand and hand. 

All else aside, you do know that asking for a recount and refusing to accept the eventual winner of the election are two entirely different things, right?

A recount is like a coach challenging a call during a game.  It's part of the process.  Refusing to accept the outcome is when the coach turns over a table at the press conference afterwards.  Not the same thing at all.

That being said, I only support recounts in situations where there is cause to believe something went wrong and there is cause to believe a recount could make a difference in the results.  A recount done for political reasons that won't change anything should not be allowed.
