The election’s not over yet, but it’s never too early to start spinning a loss. Last night, facing the prospect of her hero Donald Trump getting demolished at the polls, Ann Coulter put forth the following scenario that would ensure a decisive Trump victory:
If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.

Hold up … what? Where to even begin with a statement like that?

Ann, your side usually waits until 3 a.m. to tweet sh*t this stupid.

@AnnCoulter What does "at least" four grandparents mean? Do some people have more than four?
— Pam (@lemoneyes) November 8, 2016
@dearauntierose and what does she mean by "at least 4 grandparents"? Isn't that the biological limit?
— Uncle Fuzzy (@paulland100) November 8, 2016
I know counting is a challenge @AnnCoulter but what do you mean at least 4grandparents? How many grandparents do people have on your planet?

I’m pretty damn proud to say not all four of my grandparents were born here. Shows how far we’ve come.

my 4 grandparents were born here and I didn't vote Trump, FWIW

You realise you go back through enough generations of grandparents, you're mostly going to find immigrants, right?

But then Trump couldn't run, since his mom and paternal grandparents weren't born in the US. So, um, yeah. https://t.co/7Uxwnuqk0Q

By this standard, Trump wouldn't be allowed to vote.
— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) November 8, 2016
Good point. He and wife #1 and wife #3 couldn't vote either.

Oops.
And of course Ann Coulter is still fantasizing about taking away the rights of countless American citizens. @MiladyDeBennet @AnnCoulter

So all those people whose ancestors came here as slaves would vote for Trump?

You might want to at least TRY not to scream "I'm a racist"

It’s worth noting that when conservative presidential hopeful Evan McMullin tweeted this over the weekend:
We need a new conservative movement that doesn't care about color of your skin, that embraces you for who you are. https://t.co/Ilqd0IP6Lh
— Evan McMullin (@EvanMcMullin) November 6, 2016
He was calling for a movement that harkens back to the best of conservatism. The kind of conservatism that appeals to all races and religions. The conservatism that embraces liberty and the values that have made this nation great. Coulter’s — and the alt-right’s — version of “conservatism” is one that is warped beyond recognition. Which version will you choose?
