You sound weird.

Tell her that some people are trying to change the outcome so that we don't end up with a president who's less mature than she is.

If she scratches her head in confusion, show her his twitter account.

A six year old should not get involved in your politics. Give her books to read, math problems to solve, fresh air to breathe picture to color and enough screen time to escape from your neurosis for a bit.


I do all that, and then some. Try to escape from your anger.

All the time. Or are you guys forgetting when McCain and Romney joined in on recount efforts?

Tell her to be a lawyer. You can do anything you want within the bounds of the law.

You are specifically a failure as a parent for creating such anxiety in the mind of your child.

You are a horrible parent in general.

You need to walk this back as much as you can and as fast as possible.

You will still be a disgrace.

Never do this again, because you've proven yourself to be a loser as a political predictor, but more importantly as a parent.


Did your prescription lapse?

My 6yo was told we're just making sure the numbers are correct, and that they announced the right winner, which they probably did.

This. Just tell her it's standard operating procedure anytime a Clinton loses in the general.

Nah, more like what happens when Cheeto loses it over not winning the popular vote.
