Trump has no influence anymore. Sad that he has to learn this lesson so publicly, would have maintained a lot more dignity if he had conceded.

Oh he can do much more than plead. Who do you think appoints committee members. With that said I’m expecting a few Trumperoos to try to points with their old leader in the hope he will support them in future.

But at the end it doesn’t matter if they do or not.

This is curious.. that saying the words "president elect" means so much, its like "kiss my ring" .. Its like they are salivating to get people to say those words. i can believe it. They want SOOOOO MUCH for a Trumper or Trump himself to say those words. i hope Trump keeps them in suspense forever.. and never say it.

Because the opposition will have some kind of weird satisfaction as if they won something big.. they will have won him abasing himself and any Trump voter abasing themselves and happy that they too drank the koolaide.

the more i hear this salivating, the more i will too refuse to say it. i wont give them that satisfaction, it will be like saying Caeser is Lord".

If Trump and others never say it, will they be able to go on with their lives? When they hear it, will it be a verbal orgasm of sorts? yes its like they are having an orgasm with their ears. i wont pander to that.

LOL. You do miss the point entirely oh and by the way if this was the other way around, the Republicans would have been going crazy themselves.

It is about the way things have been done in the past in this country until this egomaniac took over and wants to throw a tantrum when he loses and the rest have to indulge him. This kind of BS has a way of getting back to you and what it sets up is for our future elections to be contested to the end by the loser, to not grant the title of President- Elect to the winner, to block them from getting information that would allow for a smoother transition period.

The Title is not what is important, is the admittance that the race is over and we need to move on. As I said be careful what you wish for.

Trump will never admit that he lost and that’s fine with me he lost and he must leave the White House on January 20, 2021.

Some of the Senators have another party to answer to ... their constituents. Hardly worth appeasing Mitch McConnel if you are primaried out the next time you're up for re-election. Now how Mitch is going to handle this will be interesting.
