Trump Relives Campaign Victory During Thank-You Tour Rally

December 1, 20164:34 PM ET
President-elect Donald Trump delivered a campaign-style speech at what was billed as the first stop in a thank-you tour in Cincinnati, Ohio, tonight, in which he pledged to unite America while at the same time recounting old grievances against the news media, and his political opponents.
Trump also used the occasion to announce he will nominate retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis as secretary of defense, calling him "the closest thing we have to Gen. George Patton of our time."

Trump touched on nationalistic themes, vowing that from now on "it's going to be America first. Never again," Trump vowed, "will anyone's interest come before the interests of the American people. It's not going to happen."

But much of Trump's remarks were spent reliving his recent campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton. "Didn't we have fun fighting Hillary?" Trump said, prompting his supporters to reply with their oft-heard chant, "lock her up."

"Lock her up" is still unlikely but this is an interesting take:

Gregg Jarrett: Did Hillary Clinton just squander her "get out of jail free" card?

By Gregg Jarrett

Published November 28, 2016 Now Playing Jarrett: Clinton did the one thing guaranteed to rile Trump

Hillary Clinton has never played the board game, “Monopoly”.
How do we know? Because even novice players learn quickly that you always hang on to a “get out of jail free” card. No matter what. You never know when you’re going to need it. And you usually do.
Clinton had such a card… and has managed to recklessly squander it.
So what happens now? Will she draw that other dreaded card: “Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $ 200” ? For Clinton, who could face serious criminal jeopardy, this is no game.

Clinton’s election night concession seemed to have prompted Trump to hand her a “get out of jail free” card. If she was moving on, then he was moving on. And so would the nation.
But in politics, what is given… can be taken away. Especially when the recipient of a generous gift exhibits a conspicuous lack of gratitude. Which is precisely what Clinton has now done.

A Game of Chance With No Chance

Clinton’s campaign announced over the weekend that it will join efforts to push for recounts in the key states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in a futile effort to deprive Trump of the needed 270 electoral votes and, thus, the presidency.
It is the definition of a fool’s errand. A game of chance with not a scintilla of chance to succeed.

Recounts almost never swing enough votes to change the outcome. Clinton would have to do it in not one, but all three states. In Pennsylvania alone, the law on a voter-initiated recount is next to impossible to meet. It demands notarized voter affidavits in each and every 9,163 election districts. The deadlines are imminent and, in some districts, have already passed. Forget the fact that Trump’s lead in the state exceeds 70,000 votes.

Clinton’s decision to embrace a challenge to Trump’s election is both confounding and inexplicable. Why would she chance angering the very individual who holds her fate in his hands? It’s like an inmate taunting a jailer. You’d have to be obtuse to do it.

I can't wait for them to realize he's not going to lock her up.
