Georgia?

[Riders]

So it was my understanding that he was depending on Georgia to turn the election over by saying he had won the recount. It came back this week Biden still won and they found no evidence for voter fraud. So how many states that he had recounted have come back with the recount so far? You would think he'd be getting the picture now.Hooray for Georgia.

I think he's moved on now to trying to work holes in the rather flawed electoral system.

Trump as usual is far more talk than action. Right now he is only have a recount in part of Wisconsin. And it is a rather foolish one. If anything it will only make Biden's hold on the state stronger.

He's still waiting for the Electoral vote.

Its dumb to concede beforehand.

We have how the EC is supposed to vote.
Trump needs to be a man, concede, and put and end to this foolishness.

No, it is dumb to not concede when one has lost by what Trump himself called "a landslide".

Well there's your problem. Since when has Trump been a man when he screwed up?

I suspect so too but we will see as the EC comes and goes. As remote as that is, I can't think of any reason for Trump not to accept the vote of the EC.

In fact, maybe quit at that time, can the president quit? Which would give Pence the authority to pardon Trump of any crimes.

In fact, that's what I'd do. I'd say "Screw it, I quit" then go home and play with my club and balls.

Waiting? No - trying with all his might to overturn the will of the people. All his snowflake whining won't change the outcome. He's a loser.

But if that's dumb to conceded, then EVERY president or candidate before him was dumb. EVERY SINGLE ONE including Abraham Lincoln, Reagan, JFK. Every one.

Of course he won't accept it. He'll whine and have a tantrum about how the election was stolen from him.

Certainly not required, most do it out of courtesy but I will give this one a pass.

Never. He's basically doing what he's always done, which is throwing money at a problem until it comes out right, talking his way in and out of stuff, and not giving a single damn about anyone or anything that isn't him. And he does this because he's an immature child who instead of acting like a man and acting with dignity thinks it's better to throw tantrums until he gets his way.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

All his snowflake whining won't change the outcome.

It isn't technically set and definitely decided yet, as either candidate has a 0% or 100% chance of winning until the EC has cast their vote.
Although if people though we had a summer of riots, I fear it will be far worse if this election is overturned based on the tantrums of a man-child.

I think his hope is for faithless electors that will cast their vote in his favor.

He's no different than the Libs who hoped for the same thing against him.
It's a pathetic thing to hope for, because it's just not going to happen.

 

[fantome profane]

I think his hope is for faithless electors that will cast their vote in his favor.

In other words he is hoping to subvert democracy and overturn the will of the people.

He continually shows what a despicable piece of garbage he is.

It is worth pointing out that the left called for the same thing in 2016.

Be specific. “The left” is a big term. Did Obama try to make this happen by meeting with State officials? Did Clinton refuse to concede in the hopes she could overturn democracy? Did Biden rant incoherently in a parking lot?

(ok, maybe that last one did happen, I don’t know. But it probably wasn’t about electors)

Sorry, but I gotta say it. False equivalency.

You can call it whatever you'd like. But the idea of hedging bets with faithless electors isn't new.
