    We understood exactly what he meant. Only the continuation option will be legitimate in his eyes. Anything else that is not that outcome must be a sham and he will not commit to honoring those results.

    We know who Donald Trump is. He shows us every day, with glee. The only fantasyland here is the one Trump supporters have created for themselves to stomach the man. How's that swamp draining going? His administration is full of the same types of people as always, and his presence has only polluted the waters even more.

    Trump has repeatedly said he will not accept the results...believe him as this is one of the only times he is telling the truth. Sweet Potato Hitler still cannot even accept the fact that Hillary won the popular vote.

    Reminds me when Trump was caught and impeached for bribing Ukraine to intervene in USA elections.

    One of Trumps excuses was that if he did it, that was ok since him being President was in the best interest of our country

    Trump is such a A hole

    The playbook of the classic demagogue is to:
    !. Create an enemy, blame all troubles on them., and with Trump, they are: Dems are worse by comparison. Trump is the enemy.
    A) The press, he says they are 'the enemy of the people' There is more than enough evidence to support that opinion.
    B) The 'deep state' boogeyman, all they are is dedicated government workers.More than enough evidence to support the intention to impeach long before it happened.
    C) Democrats, who, Trump says , want to:
    1) Take away your freedom Already being done in CA. From second amendment rights to going to the beach.
    2) Increase your taxes 100% true and already admitted. CA is run by dems and taxes are the highest.
    3) Convert America into Venezuela with socialism (another boogeyman) An opinion based on dems push towards socialism. Los Angeles is not quite Venezuela, but having lived here all my life, it is going in that direction.
    4) Move Antifa- types next door to you. More than enough evidence to support that opinion. Dems want to move low income housing to the burbs.
    5) Take away ALL your guns Already being done in CA. Of course they can't take them all at once, so they are nibbling away at the second amendment.
    6) Take away your right to practice your religion He never said that.
    2. Gaslight the opposition/dems by projecting, i.e., accusing them of the very
    thing he is guilty of. Troll them constantly because his base loves it. Nonsense. No one can be trolled without their consent. Stop acting like what they accuse you of.
    3. Declare that Democrats are trying to rig the vote, when it is he who is trying
    to rig the vote by undermining it. Dems are the only ones changing the rules.
    4 Undermine the integrity of the vote by casting doubt upon it. Dems are the only ones changing the rules.
    5. Conspire with the Postmaster General to slow down the mail. Conspiracy theory.
    6. Viciously attack anyone critical him in a petty, below the stature of the presidency, way, but since most of his followers have no sense of the majesty of the office, they don't
    see that he is defecating on the office by doing it. Still not on par with the opposition.

    Demagoguery could not exist without the conditions your party has been ripening for years. Trump is a NY Democrat and has successfully tricked Dems into working for him. Trump is not charismatic, likable, or considered a man of character. Dems and the results they are known for make him a little less evil.

    Wrong. He has not answered the question a few times, but that's see a different response than "said he will not".

    great economy, the economy is set to crash unless we keep bailing it out with trillions from the fed - sorry, that is not what a great economy looks like

    Bullshit, you're just supporting Trump without supporting Trump. We both know that so drop the act.

    WRONG.

    2) Trump's potential refusal to leave office is based around his idea of him not leaving office even IF the Election is Certified (showing that HE LOST)

    ^That is the issue with Trump's statement.


    ^That is EXACTLY what Trump is indicating.

    He has not said this. It's a liberal myth / misreading of his statements on the matter.

    Please provide a quote and link showing that Biden (or his campaign) said he wouldn’t concede.

    If you don’t parse the quote, it is clear she meant don’t concede before all the votes are counted, because trump and the Republicans will try to suppress votes or delay counting.
    It was a stupid thing to say, but it is not her choice to make. It is Biden’s choice.

    I’m quite sure Biden will accept the certified results. I’m almost as sure that trump won’t.

    No, and what does that have to do with what we were discussing?

    Whatboutism is a tactic originated and developed by the Stalinists. Why are you using the methods of one of the world's most prolific mass murderers?

    Either one will accept whatever results legitimately make him win. Neither will accept a loss that doesn't appear genuine and neither should. In the end, this is all that Trump is really saying, isn't it?

    In the end, the certification will and should be done by other parties entirely. Trump's term expires on January 20 and if he has not been certified the winner by then he is no longer President in any case. The certifying party is the Democratic Congress. Have they seemed amenable to Trump's trickery so far?

    That word right there shows exactly that you ARE reading into what he said. And you use such words because you know that Trump has never stated that he will not leave the WH if he loses the election. All that you're doing is fear mongering. That and threats is all that Trump Haters have because facts don't matter to them.
