    I didn't need Trump to talk about fraud in order to call this election a fraud, I have eyes and critical thinking. I went to sleep that night thinking about how convenient it was that the counting in swing states Trump had a big lead in were calling it a night, and then seeing the count, which supposedly stopped, having been increased by hundreds of thousands and all for Biden the next day.

    But it's rich that you're making a scrapbook of deception. Will you store it next to your Russian Collusion scrapbook?

    Because we haven't held our boot on their neck since the 60's and we promote bettering yourself independently instead of giving you just enough crumbs to keep you hopeful, yet down and dependent. LBJ made obvious, the goal of democrats, and he let us all know just how much he cares about the black community. Blacks and other minorities are waking up anyways, that was clear this election.

    I don't need a news article to tell me how to think. I can research numbers and past statistics to form an independent opinion. You might want to try that, too. You can still support Biden over Trump, if that's your choice, while you research on your own. This isn't about Biden or Trump, it's about our future and fair elections.

    He gave us his opinion and then allowed state and city leaders to make their decisions on what to do. That's not doing "nothing". People died because of state and city leaders, not because of Trump.

    Doubtful. Sarah Palin was arguably more toxic than Trump but she was endorsing other candidates and getting them elected all across th country after her VP ticket. It’s hard to ignore 74 million Trump supporters.

    You're cherry picking. I can believe this isn't over while expressing my opinion on what Biden will do if he wins. Why do you support high taxes? You must not be a small business owner or middle class taxpayer.

    Trump takes no responsibility for the response. How's that working out? He lost. Mostly because of just that. People want a leader, not someone who leaves everyone to their own devices. Trump failed. The vaccine isn't going to hide that fact.

    Just More of the Same Unproven Conspiracy Theories?

    Is that going to be Trump's Delusional Mantra?

    Trump voters. His support will be nonexistent within a year.

    If that’s what he does. But he won’t do that. He will not step aside and endorse others. He will float his own candidacy and in doing so hurt others.

    Let him stay there in Florida, and if he's the demon that everyone acknowledges him to be then he'll rot away to be forgotten even by his 'base'. Conmen are always rejected once the con is revealed.

    Palin was a losing VP Candidate who wasn't even on the same planet as Trump is.

    Any comparison of Sarah Palin to Trump fails miserably.

    Using your same census tables, in 2016, there were 158 million registered voters (how did we drop 5 thousand registration to 2018??) and 136.6 million POTUS votes cast....

    Do you believe there was 86% turnout in 2016?? Neither do I...

    I can absolutely believe a registered voting public growing by 80 million in 2 years... Between the millions of new voters turning 18 over 2 years plus amazing registration drives on both sides, much of it to remove the cancerous growth.

    Here's the bottom line for me... The increase in D votes over 2016 is generally across the country, and not focused in a handful of "suspect" states or places

    Some homegrown stats from me.
    Number of states that increased their R vote in 2016 by 20K = 6
    Number of states that increased their D vote in 2016 by 20K = 31

    YES It IS Over.

    They have started the Transition.

    TRUMP LOST. Period.

    Although, I can understand why that FACT may serve as an "Inconvenient Truth" to his supporters.

    Oh well, onto 2024.

    I will assume that Trump is running in 2024 until I hear different.

    I hope Trump is running in January of 2021....

    Oh... you meant for President, didn't you?

    Actually, same goes... The more Trump, the better the Biden administration will look by comparison...

    So you think that I form my opinion based on ONE article? How cute.
    I was just giving you some information; it is desirable in a forum to provide a link.
    I see that you don't want to see the truth. That, I can't help. Over and out.

    He lost because of massive ballot fraud. If it had anything to do with his response then that's on the hands of the lying media for brainwashing dependent viewers. Trust me, my friend, I don't expect you to see it.

    If Trump runs again in 2024 he will lose by a bigger margin than his current loss. We'll have 4 more years of new voters becoming 18, and younger voters in general abhor Trump. We'll have four more years of older conservative voters dying out of old age/diseases. The 80 million people who came out of the woodwork and voted for Biden in order to stop Trump, in the biggest total of votes ever granted to an American presidential candidate, are not about, in 4 years, to want the country to go back to Trump. And the 74 million who voted for Trump are the effect of the biggest turnout he could ever have achieved; it was above expectation but I can't imagine it going any higher, especially because he won't have the same exposure, no longer being the sitting president, and things do fade with time. There aren't more people for him to fool. He will be facing a solid barrier of 80 million people who don't want him.

    If the GOP wants to win the 2024 presidential election they will need to come up with a younger, energetic, charismatic candidate. Trump in 2024 will be old news.

    The only way the above might change is if the Biden administration is an economic disaster. This is not likely to be the case, because with the vaccines, it is likely that in the summer the economy will roar back. Also, more often than not, the economy does well in Democratic administrations.

    How was this fraud pulled off? Be specific. How did the left coordinate thousands of people across numerous polling places in several states to rig hundreds of thousands of votes?

    I hope both teams will take a couple of years and find a qualified person who meets the criteria above.

    This should be a wake up call for both sides.

    Biden got elected, only because he wasn't Trump. Down ticket republicans didn't suffer.

    Democrats need a better message; republicans need to not support a drama queen.

    He pulled 75 million votes, I wouldn't step aside for a spineless establishment republican either. I can guarantee you that if some Jeb Bush or Chris Christie wins the candidacy in 2024, we'll lose worse than the numbers of this election. I think the republican party is as dead as the democrat party. There are two new parties rising up, one that aims to uphold the Constitution and America, and one that aims to bring them both down.

    That's why we're all so divided at this point.

    All.of what you said is good stuff.

    My only caveat would be, regardless of what is "in the best interest of the GOP", that Trump's oversized ego might convince him that he should try again.

    If he chose to run, he would be the Nominee by Default, since it it would be a Fool's Errand to run against him in a primary.

    Obviously, Nikki Haley crosses off a lot of boxes.

    But then, what would a Biden v Haley race look like as opposed to Harris v Haley?

    No one should assume, regardless of his age, that Biden is going to be a 1-Term President.

    Then of course (if Trump chooses not to run in 2024) the questions will become:

    Will he endorse?
    Who will he endorse?
    What sort of flaming hoops will that person (that he eventually endorses) have to jump through for his support?

    A long way to go, and many unanswered questions.
