While so many are worried whether traitor trump will accept losing, why would we

accept any scenario in which he claims a victory. With all his voter suppression and anti-Constitution tactics how would we ever accept him claiming a victory.

It's a given. He will do tons in the next 156 days, all with Putin's advice.

3. It's Not In His Purview - To Not Accept Losing.....

The will of the People will decide whether he wins or loses.

In the words of somebody that is close to Trump (i.e., himself) - if the votes show that he lost the election then he'll have to accept that result because Donald "it is what it is".

but even if they bodily remove him from the WH, he will continue to bitch and whine on the speaking circuit about it for months if not years, suing, lying, etc.

9. Make No Mistake - Trump Will Be With Us And Make It A Point To Be With Us....

until he dies. We will not be rid of Trump when he loses. He will criticize and tweet constantly - putting his own special twist on anything Biden/Harris and the Dems do. He won't just fade into the ether. He'll try and mug the news cycles as much as he can - and you know what - the MSM will let him do it and they will give him coverage.

Still it's not his right to 'refuse to accept a loss'. The People will have spoken. If we and the MSM legitimize and allow him to 'refuse to accept a loss' then we only have ourselves to blame.

If he tries to 'refuse to accept the loss' - we have to just ignore him. Put our hands over our ears and go la la la la la la la.........don't listen to him or dignify any of his conspiratorial lies as to why he should remain in the WH.

When he loses - he becomes a non-entity - what he thinks don't matter anymore. All he's there for after the loss is to facilitate a smooth transition to the new administration.

We can't let him set some new narrative -- some new conspiracy theory. We have to shut him out.

.... funny say something and record it with your phone. The diehard trDumpies are going to freakout when they realize their demonic messiah is not coming out on top of the heap to a sure victory. They may go frantic and lose their minds if things do not go their way 100 %.

They have a few screws lose upstairs anyways. Expect a few more screws to jiggle lose if it looks like the winner is not their man.

Who knows how that will manifest itself as they act out emotionally, remain alert, be aware.

10. I Haven't Heard This Until I Read Your Response Here.....

I'm feeling better about this already. Thanks for that info!!!!!

All American's need to hear this and know that Joe and his legal team has our back.

Right now - Trump has demoralized much of the electorate into thinking that their vote won't count. It's that demoralization that will keep them at home and not vote on Nov 3rd.

If these same People know that Joe has their back and that he and his team of lawyers will see to it that their vote will count - that will be the catalyst that will fire them up and get them out to vote.
