McCain Advisor Schmidt: If Trump Loses, ‘Peaceful Transition of Power’ in Doubt
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/07/2016 12:12:53 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On today’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski teased an upcoming segment with James Carville and Steve Schmidt by saying it would be a “debate.” But the only contest between the two was to see who could be more critical of Donald Trump. And Schmidt, senior adviser to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, won that contest hands down.

Schmidt actually said that the “peaceful transition of power” would be “in doubt” if Donald Trump loses, suggesting he might refuse to concede and rouse his supporters by claiming the election was rigged.

Nonsense.

Trump is not Al Gore.

So he’s saying Obama will go violent? Sounds racist.

..IIRC Schmidt was one of the ones who stuck the knife in Sarah Palin’s back—along with Nicholle Wallace...

I figure they are going to steal the election and rather than just accept it like wimpy Republicans in the past have Donald is going to raise holy hell. They are laying the groundwork for claiming he’s just a sore loser.

I wonder how much of voter fraud (the Left, that is) the media (MSM) is privy to...big conspiracy, but I could see them keeping it a secret since they are all members of their lib country club. I wonder how much they talk about it in their posh bars inside the beltway.

If Trump loses many in this nation will view Clinton (rightfully so) as illegitimate. They will have no respect (again, rightfully so) for the federal departments and agencies operating under her undoubtedly corrupt administration. Many will also see her lawlessness as a justification to ignore or attempt to circumnavigate the law. She will be president of a deeply fractured, balkanized, and angry nation, and not a bit of it will be Trump’s fault.

Seeing as all their polls are oversampling Democrats by 10+% in an election where Republican turnout is sure to be higher, it seems like they must plan on turning out at least 5% fraudulent votes, minimum.

More likely that a peaceful transition would be in doubt if Hillary loses. The Left will go @#$%^&! and riot.

And if Trump wins? Will there be a peaceful transfer of power? I kinda doubt it.

There would be a “the Russians interfered to help Trump win” outcry.

I think it is OK to question how a precinct can have 105% of the vote going to Hillary. You know it will happen AGAIN.

I could be wrong but since the peddles have been exposed and plucked from the corrupt DC rose, it’s reasonable to conclude that the American people have had enough of getting kicked in the balls by the DC criminals

We all know they’re alluding to violence; civil disobedience.

I doubt it. But I would expect the majority of producers to go Galt.

Including yours truly.

They are protecting a 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of our immigration laws.
The illegal alien inundation was INTENTIONAL.
They are not going to allow the citizens to reverse it.

I think the peaceful transition would be less likely if he WINS.

Ironic statement, since the MSM’s entire business strategy is to have the “racist” Trump win so that the liberals will riot. (They do this by convincing their idiot sheeple that a Clinton victory by over 10 points is assured.)
