I guess he'd rather watch you freak out.

That's all it is though. Your reaction. Not him.


An optimist doesn't whine, nor often think many people are out to get him.

Trump does both of those things.

I'd stand in rain and hail in 20 degree weather to vote this year.

I agree, I'll be there with bells on.

No, he didn't say he didn't think he would lose.

He reiterated his statement from 2016, that he may not accept the results of the election if he loses.

I know that's hard to wrap your head around, so people are saying oh well, that's surely not what he meant.

He meant it then, and he means it now.

Uh huh. Tell you what, if Trump loses the election and refuses to vacate the White House, I’ll be right at the front of those yelling for him to be evicted. He did not, however, say he wouldn’t leave.

I do have a question for you, though. If Bernie loses the election, will you accept that Trump is the lawfully elected President of the United States or will we have to deal with four more years of ridiculous orange man bad posts?

I know people who intend to vote for Trump won't see how completely OUTRAGEOUS this attitude is.

You know back in 2016 Hillary claimed that she would accept the results. People jumped all over the fat man for being hesitant to accept. The election came and of course the left never accepted the results. Do you see the irony that people on the left are condemning him for basically behaving as they did?

Maybe you should be concerned with the scam perpetrated by the Democratic Party that forced such a lousy choice upon their members. Hillary last time and Biden this time. It's like they want to let Trump win.

I figured it would be fruitless to recount. Let me say not looking the result is different than accepting it. I'm sure we will see Republicans claim that in November.

And the left made a big deal out of it then, and then promptly refused to accept the election results. So are you holding Trump to a different standard than you are holding the left?
