    Not only does Trump not care about honest democracy, I start to think he doesn't give a damn about his own legitimacy and legal limitations as a President.

    He never accepted the rules of the Constitution that says there are limits to his power.

    He doesn't live in that realm.


    We keep calling him President (if you insist on following proper etiquette) but I think Trump couldn't care less.

    Meaning; if his legal options have run out what will prevent him from swapping lawyers for armed henchmen to protect himself?

    None, because Trump doesn't care about the difference.


    We shouldn't be so naive to think he does.

    What was Mike Pence's popularity rating when he quit his Presidential campaign?

    Wait! He never did run for the President, Kamala ran, and quit.

    Hence we will never know, will we? But we do know, Kamala ran, gathered a couple of percentage points, and quit. What a loser!

    Not in Florida although he was trying to steal it.

    We did on day one when he first conceded but then he withdrew that concession.

    Yes we do.

    After his challenges had run out, that took 37 days.

    The final certifications come in tomorrow.

    To deny it is to deny the facts or simply not know them which I think for you the latter applies.

    She managed it by sleeping her way to the top and then being female and black and nothing more. Even the Dems totally rejected her in the primaries having to drop out even before the Iowa caucuses.

    You must have a pretty good idea that Harris is going to race in 2028.

    And that the chances of her winning are immensely greater than if Pence went too.

    so you're saying the ONLY way a black man can become President, is through affirmative action?

    wow, the truth is coming out huh.

    ah, so once again you say a black person could not win higher office if not for affirmative action.

    truth is coming out, huh?

    Not at all. I'm saying the Democratic junior one-term senator from Illinois has no prayer unless he's some serious minority.

    Not at all. A person polling 3-4% at Democratic primaries has no prayer unless she has some serious minority going for her.

    The identity party is the one who only elects white guys. We mix it up.

    The "popular vote" does not matter. How many times must this be explained / demonstrated before you comprehend this simple fact?

    the popular vote in each state, decides the election for each state.


    .....well, now Trump wants to abandon that.

    Sorry, I thought it was clear to all that we were discussing the "national popular vote". Hillary obviously lost the election because she lost the popular vote in too many states.

    and unlike Trump, she respected those popular votes.

    she didn't run around yelling "Russia stole the election!!!!! dont certify the votes!!!!!!"

    So you think that Trump will concede tomorrow? I will not be holding my breath based on a prediction made by a Trump loyalist.
