    No, he's done, period.
    A lot of people, including yours truly, believe Trump would at least be tempted to concoct a phoney narrative about a fraudulent election to justify a power grab.
    I believe Trump has always understood he would be escorted from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue if he lost an election and refused to leave.
    No, it's over.
    Unless dispirited Trumpers move themselves to turn out in January, the GOP could lose both seats.

    "Disgrace" only because he made it all work out that way. NO other president in my lifetime ever conceded "in disgrace". So it certainly IS NOT "the American way"!

    Just because you don't know how polling works doesn't mean the rest of us should join you in the dark.

    the US is officially in 7 wars and unofficially in 134 wars presently, President Trump may use the War Powers Act to declare the election null and void at any time

    china's surprise attack with the wuhan flu is similar to japan's pearl harbor attack.

    I doubt it. The U.S. has always held elections even in times of war. That dog won't hunt.

    The War Powers Act does not give him the authority to declare the election null and void.
