Admitting defeat and/or reality is not in Trump's DNA, but how is it possible that millions of people still believe his nonsense after he has been caught with 30 000 lies?

No, The Presidential Election Was Not Rigged by Hacked Voting Machines

https://www.cato.org/blog/no-preside...oting-machines

Donald Trump’s crusade to manufacture doubts about the outcome of the presidential election reached a new low on Thursday, when the president shifted from making vague, evidence‐​free assertions of massive and systematic vote fraud to promoting a specific and frankly bonkers conspiracy theory—disseminated in ALL CAPS to the president’s 89 million Twitter followers—alleging that software developed by Dominion Voting Systems had “DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE” and that “221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES” had been “SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN.”

This is embarrassing nonsense of the sort one expects to see on fringe message boards, not emanating from the White House.

Dominion whistle-blowers say otherwise. Great to have a foreign company counting our elections.

It's not just Trump that is proposing that cheating happened.



I think it is really ironic how the Left is telling us to just move along, nothing to see here folks. They are acting like a NFL offense that just got away with a penalty and they are rushing to the line before the red flag can be thrown prompting a review.



We all know that if one vote for Biden was switched to Trump the Dems would be tearing the place apart and demanding a recount and a new election.



It is funny how there was talk before the election that Russia and Iran was going to meddle in the election but since Biden won we don't hear anything about foreign interference?

Another thing was the Electoral College. The Dems were talking about trashing that worn out notion but now that it seems that Biden won it the Left is silent on it?



Why is everything a Constitutional crisis until it favors the Dems?



There was many questionable issues that arose from this election and it seems the Left is all to quick to discount them leading to even more conspiracy theories.



What is embarrassing is that millions of Americans are content to let the cheating happen.

How many court cases need to be thrown out before you'll accept it was a fair election?

We've had almost 2 weeks worth so far.

I am starting to feel sorry for Trump. Not only has he become mentally unhinged, but also physically. Look at this transformation in only few weeks. The 'orange one' is now 'the grey one'.

"proposing that cheating happened" without evidence of that cheating happening is meaningless.

Confirmation bias. If they can find anyone, anywhere, who alleges something can happen, they grab onto it. Do people use ATMs? cell phones? computers? All those can be hacked too. And they never say "oh yeah? prove it happened." They accept it without question.

Why was this not an issue before now? Even the most casual observer of the news could tell after Bush/Gore we had issues. Trump had years to address this problem, the first two with a GOP Congress and he did nothing.

Are you arguing Trump won in 2016 because he and Russians tweaked the machines?
