How much of a landslide will be needed for Trump to accept a loss in Nov? [View all]

Sorry if this has already been asked.

My anxiety is kicking in after seeing what happened in Venezuela.

I'm predicting The Orange One will act like a spoiled brat, throw a tantrum and incite riots if the numbers are close.

What we need is a win robust enough that it can't be overturned in one (or preferably two) states. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #12
Yes agalisgv Aug 7 #13
Unforunately,... Think. Again. Aug 7 #36
They'll try that, but I think it can be stopped. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #39

It wasn't just Pence, it was a lot of people who resisted Trump. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #54
It was only pence who's decision stopped it all. Think. Again. Aug 7 #60
Well, Harris will have Pence's role wrt certification, so if your theory is that only the VP matters, then no worries. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #62
That isn't my theory at all, I don't know why you would think that... Think. Again. Aug 7 #63
Then why is it that only Pence matters and not all the other people who resisted? D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #64
As I mentioned, it was only pence's decision to certify that stopped the last coup. Think. Again. Aug 7 #66
Incorrect. D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #68
Like in 2000? orthoclad Aug 7 #49
2000 was overturned by one state. If you would actually read what I wrote, 2000 was the reason for it. n/t D23MIURG23 Aug 7 #57
