If Trump loses the election, will he accept it?

[fantome profane]

I think it is pretty obvious to anyone you has been paying any attention at all. Little Donny has never learned how to accept rejection, not from a woman, and not from the electorate. If he is told no on Nov 5th he will not accept it, he will do anything to force himself on America.

All Europe waits and watches, and I expect that most of the World does as well.
I can't think of a better word to describe this situation than 'fraught'.

 

[fantome profane]

A recent poll asked registered voters if they believe Trump would accept the results if he lost the election. 70% of all voters said he would not.

New poll finds most voters believe Trump won’t accept election loss

As Election Day looms, a new poll has found that the majority of registered voters do not believe Trump will accept the result if he loses

www.independent.co.uk

This poll tells me that 30 of registered voters are either lying or they have not been paying attention. I think my poll in this thread is much more accurate. 100% of those surveyed said "No, there is not a chance he will accept the results".

If Trump loses the election, will he accept it?​

Of course not

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

This is not a trivial issue. See, for example:

Bulletproof vests, snipers and drones: Election officials beef up security at polls​

Apparently, this is the new America.

Of course not

Agree. He didn't accept it after 2020 election so why should we think he'd act any differently after this one.

Should Trump lose he and his supporters will accept the results. Although what you mean by "accept" is ambiguous. The anti-Trump echo chamber narrative is bogus. On the other hand, should Trump win all bets are off for what the anti-Trumpers will do.

what you mean by "accept" is ambiguous.

To clarify, what I mean by "accept" is that after the votes are counted and certified he does not keep pretending he won when he didn't. Is that disambiguated enough for you?

I hope I am wrong, but if the election is called for Harris (I hope), there will be chaos and bloodshed in the streets. Probably just temporary, but still...

And he’ll do that how, exactly? We heard the same thing about George W. Bush.

Next.

Actually, no it isn't. There are counts and there are counts. The circumstances of the counts matter too. And you made no distinction between accepting and questioning. As the adage goes, the devil is in the details. Furthermore, I haven't seen any blanket carte blanche statements coming from the anti-Trumpers. THEY have demonstrated more recalcitrance about "accepting" the coming election results then the Trump supporters. They are the ones that attempted to keep Trump off the ballot, use lawfare as election interference and even attempted his assassination.

You will have to make your own regards. Alice lives in the anti-Trumper echo chamber. You can find her in your looking glass.

Do you acknowledge that Trump lost the election in 2020?

We did? Where? I never heard those claims about Bush and I voted for him (sorry).

This is an oft repeated refrain, but is nonsense. He made legal challenges (as any party would do and he lost badly), and when Inauguration Day came, he left office. Yes, there was the issue at the Capital, but it’s not as if it Trump designed that event to keep himself in office. He didn’t order the military to keep him in. It was a lot of bluster. It will be a lot of bluster again if he loses, but to what end? He has no choice but to accept the outcome.

That is not true. In the past there have been rational lawsuits brought up. Trump brought up deranged ones. Often his own lawyers would not provide the supposed evidence they had because it was so bad that it would threaten their careers. Trump was 60 and 0 That tells you that he did not have any valid lawsuits.

 

[F1fan]

Actually, no it isn't. There are counts and there are counts.

And official counts count.

The circumstances of the counts matter too. And you made no distinction between accepting and questioning. As the adage goes, the devil is in the details.

Like the 60 lawsuits that failed? And let's not forget the election fraud conspiracy by Trump, Gulliani, and many dozens of others who are all facing legal jeopardy.

Furthermore, I haven't seen any blanket carte blanche statements coming from the anti-Trumpers. THEY have demonstrated more recalcitrance about "accepting" the coming election results then the Trump supporters.

Where's the evidence?

They are the ones that attempted to keep Trump off the ballot,

Oh, you mean where criminals can't be on ballots in some states? Don't worry, the SCOTUS nullified the state laws. So much for state's rights, eh?

use lawfare as election interference

Oh, you mean Trump being caught committing crimes and being held accountable. Yeah, that's how America works, as we have a justice system. But so far certain courts and judges have worked to help Trump suspiciously. Well if he loses there won't be any more delays.

and even attempted his assassination.

Twice by two conservatives.
