What if Trump won't accept defeat?
Politico ^ | August 22, 2016 | Eli Stokols

As their nominee unravels, Republicans worry where his scorched-earth, rigged-election rhetoric leads the GOP and the country.

Donald Trump is on track to lose in November and to refuse to accept the legitimacy of that Election Day result. That’s a problem not just for Hillary Clinton but for both political parties and the country. For everyone, really, other than Donald Trump.

By hiring Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon, a media provocateur in his own image, and accepting the resignation of the man who was supposed to professionalize him, Trump is signaling the final 78 days of his presidential campaign will be guided by a staff that indulges his deeply held conspiracy theories and validates his hermetically sealed worldview.

“Turn it around; what if Hillary won’t accept defeat??”

It seems to me that Democrats always challenge a close race hoping for a second bite at the apple in the courts. If someone doesn’t accept the results, they sue. Simple as that. Why shouldn’t Republicans play the game the same as Democrats?

When Nixon lost to Kennedy his advisers told him to sue. He said, No, the country needs to unite behind a leader. We can’t afford this kind of descension. Can you imagine a Democrat saying something similar today about a close loss?

As their nominee unravels? This guy is woefully behind the times. Not that Trump was ever unraveling, but he did have some rough patches. Last week was stellar. Who are these people?

These buffoons have been wrong about Trump from the get-go. Why would pay attention to them now? They are no more than pesky gnats at this point.

Unlike Sanders, Trump will not take his prizes and run away. If you steal the election from him, you will wish you were never born.

What if Trump won’t accept defeat?

Well, WTH could he do - release hoards of flying monkeys? Set free all his sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads? They act like he’s Dr. Evil or something.

What if Hillary drops to the floor and becomes unresponsive at a televised debate? Would we show the video here?

Every single one of these bogus articles proves the lame stream and the left in general is scared to death Trump will win and he will if it’s a fair election.

What concerns me is riggers like Google, street level voter fraud, and packing ballot boxes.

What would Chesty Puller do?

A Quote: “We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now.
We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded.
That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them.”
