    This is clearly fear mongering by the DNC to get voters to vote for Joe Biden who is considered a moderate. The new socialist democrats will have something to say about this.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/07/politics/2020-electoral-challenge-trump/index.html?

    NYT: Pelosi worried Trump won't leave if 2020 is close.

    (CNN)There have been numerous contested elections in US history, including as recently as 2000, when the Supreme Court essentially called it for George W. Bush.

    What there hasn't been is a sitting President who refused to accept the results. The so-called peaceful transfer of power is a key ingredient of the American political experiment.

    The entire 2016 campaign against Trump was based on fear. Fear that if he became POTUS the world would end. CNN was saying it every night. DNC pundits all over the MSM were repeating it ad nauseum. Trump would take women's right away. Trump would take minorities rights away. Trump would start WWIII. Trump would be Hitler. Trump would destroy the economy. AND.....nothin. He didn't start any wars. He hasn't hurt the economy. He certainly hasn't hurt women or minorities. So...at some point you just have to figure it's a mental disease to live every day in a state of pure rage against a guy who really never did anything that bad to you.

    I remember Democrats telling me trump won't last through his first term, now they are saying he'll be dictator for life. I wouldn't take anything Democrats say seriously.

    The democrats have proven that a loss of an election does not have to be accepted. So what is the problem?

    I just read an article on brainwashing, that is exactly what the Left is doing with their constant fear mongering.

    After all Hillary has had to say about the election. She is still telling anyone who will listen that the election was "stolen from her". Shame on Hillary Clinton.

    Most likely a moot point.

    If Trump loses, he will start WW3 during the Lame Duck Session and start firing Nukes everywhere.

    This is the kinda stuff Democrats literally believe.

    You are a fool if you take them seriously.

    What Democrats don't understand is that the new Democratic Socialists want to remove the old Democratic establishment from power. They see the establishment as a hinderance to social progress. There is an excellent documentary on this where AOC talks about how the Democratic establishment tries to block progressive candidates from ousting encumbent Democrats by any means.

    By all appearances Pelosi understands this completely.

    Then maybe she should work with them instead of against them.

    Maybe they should knuckle under to the authority over them.

    They ran to topple the old established Democrats who they see as cronies.

    It's all part of a strategy that will backfire on them. Progressives have not forgotten what the Democratic establishment did to Sanders.

    Trump said during the 2016 campaign that he would ONLY accept the elections results if he wins.

    Will a psychotic despot willingly step down? If anything this discourages
    people from voting.

    So Pelosi is afraid Trump may use the military to protect his presidency even if he loses? Do you really believe he could do that?

    The US is not a latin American country. A coupe is not going to happen here anytime soon.

    And then continued on with:

    “Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result," Trump said. "And always, I will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me. Always."

    Sounds reasonable. I mean it’s what Gore did in 2000. It happened in 2016 too, but against Trump. Weird, don’t you think?

    Lol...

    Listen...for all his faults as a man and as a president, if the election were held tomorrow, he would stomp the living bejesus out of any Democrat name I have heard so far...including Biden.
