The official GOP-list of what does and doesn't render a presidential election illegitimate:

[DetlefK]

- When there's a recount, and the Republican is leading in the polls, the recount must be stopped immediately. Finishing the recount could lead to political instability, as it could turn out that the presumed winner did not win the election properly. The recount must be stopped, so people can move on.

- When a presidential candidate with a dark skin-color and a weird name wins, there is a real possibility that this is the culmination of a sinister long-term plan to install a foreigner into the White House, which began 50 yars ago with the very birth of that child. This should be investigated thoroughly.

- When the US intelligence community says that a presidential candidate won the election because of foreign espionage and sabotage, there is no sinister plan to install a foreign agent into the White House. Investigating this could lead to political instability, as it could turn out that the presumed winner did not win the election properly. The investigation must be stopped, so people can move on.

3. James Comey equals "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"

This was the same last minute strategy of 1980

That's how Republicans get their radicals in power

You'd think we'd take lessons after awhile
