Trump NOT accepting defeat in the election is a good thing. Why? Because that's the clearest sign that he's willing and able to be a good president for us.
Think about it. When we apply for a job that we really want and that WE KNOW we're the best fit for, we don't accept defeat willingly. We find out what we did wrong and what we can improve upon. We network, we research, and we find all of the necessary people involved in the decision making and explain to them why WE are the best candidate for the position, even after the decision has been made.
Sometimes the company realizes that they made an error in their original hiring decision and circles back around to us for reconsideration.
Trump comes from the business world, so this kind of "never give up, never concede defeat" mentality is ALL this man knows. He shouldn't be faulted for it. He should be LAUDED for it. We need this kind of strength when he goes into negotiations on our country's behalf. No more concessions. No more signs of weakness through compromise that hurts more than helps us.
No. We're tired of that.
So, when I hear the MSM complain that Trump is undermining democracy, I think otherwise. He's changing the way the game is played. That's what we're all hoping he does, right? Change the dynamic and paradigm such that it puts us back on top and in a position of power.
Thoughts?
He’s not defeated. Why should he accept something that isn’t true.
He is going to win because the Banana Republic needs to end
It isn’t over till Kate Smith says its over. (For you younger Freepers..’The Fat lady sings’)
Those who quietly accept defeat because the Dems press them too hard go the way of Scott Walker’s bid (maybe a no-trump bid) for the WH.....Winners fight.
Why did you even post this? have you not been following the polls here on Freerepublic? I see no sign of him losing
Wasn’t that when she introduced the country to a new song - God Bless America!
SHE was disqualified the instant that stuff was made public. And until/unless those criminals are prosecuted and proved to have had NO affiliation with her (impossible, anyway), she is not a legitimate candidate and can't BE a legitimate winner.
Singing ‘God Bless America’
A presidential election is not the same as a job application because most job selection processes are not governed by a constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution about “circling back around for reconsideration”. That said, no one should accept defeat until the election has been clearly and legally decided.
“Why did you even post this? have you not been following the polls here on Freerepublic? I see no sign of him losing”
Exactly! This guy needs to go somewhere else. Either that or he’s simply a RAT plant here trying to sew lies!
The question he refused to answer was hypothetical, but worse than that it was a psychological ploy to try to force Trump to publicly and verbally accept losing as a premise.
If he had taken the bait, it would be a loss of points in debate scoring. You never accept a negative premise - it’s weak, it means you can envision yourself losing and you have a plan B for when you lose.
Chris Wallace knew that, and by the way, he did not ask Clinton the same question.
There are a hundred reasons why Trump should not answer hypothetical questions - especially questions that begin with “If you lose...”.
Why should he accept defeat...He’s going to win!!!
A silly premise for a post....my thoughts.
He’s winning. But letting them know he won’t accept the results if there is evidence of fraud is putting them on notice that he won’t go quietly.
Trump is a veteran not just of one of the toughest markets, real estate development, but in that shark tank New York City. And all they can find to throw at him is that he’s heterosexual.
Boy Clinton goes twenty years thumbing his nose at his victims, but we’re supposed to be outraged by weeks old, spurious, transparent allegations against Trump.
Whichever `rat strategerized that should soon be managing city council campaigns in Scranton.
Yeah, they got their MSM stooge to ask him for a preemptive surrender, then held their breath—and he didn’t even tell them to go **** themselves. He said (like a good southern belle) `Bless your heart.’
Yes, now there is only BT and AT: before Trump and after Trump.
