Actually, they did. It's in the Constitution. A presidential term last four years. On January 20th at precisely noon, one man will be sworn in to office and the other man will return to private life.

There's no constitutional requirement for a concession or even that the outgoing president does a proper turnover.

Well the title is way off because President Trump hasn’t refused to step down...so the rest of the article is meaningless. The media and the left are pushing that false claim when they’re actually pi**ed he’s fighting their coup!

He has not refused to step down. Inauguration Day is still in the future. Even if he is not politically correct he does not have to “step down” before then. No president ever has.

More importantly, they didn’t anticipate a leftist party subverting a national election through myriad practices of chicanery and corruption. They truly thought we were an honorable and free people capable of self-governance.

They did not anticipate total ruthlessness following only one maxim in their takedown of the USA — “the ends justify the means.”

They did not anticipate that the nation could evolve beyond the divine right of kings to freedom and then slip back to subjugation, tyranny, despotism and enslavement by government.

Great. We have a very smart poster.

So I would like to ask him to point out where and when President Trump said he will not step down.

Also please show us where in the Constitution investigation of crime is forbidden.

Actually the founders did foresee the present situation. That was why they gave us a solution for this problem....the electoral college and the means for choosing electors.

On second thought, you really arn’t that smart.

So the media calls the results and when they say so and so won then they won regardless of the real outcome.

The Founders also never anticipated a 39% Income Tax Rate.

Because it’s easy and obvious?

It’s the electoral college you stupid twits. If Trump ignores that - you just start ignoring him.

Trump isn’t breaking any laws - much to the chagrin of the whiny communists.

And? It’s not like that even comes into play until mid-January, if at all.

He doesn’t need to step down until Juanuary 20. He’s still President.

The Founders did prepare us for voter fraud. They provided us with a judiciary.

Not only does he continue in office until his term ends on January 20, 2021 but there is no process to “step down” while still in office. He is President for a defined term. No President steps down after an election and prior to inauguration.

Do people running for office concede when apparent election fraud has occurred? Not too often and that is the case here.

Me and my family, and most of my friends, we are die hard TRUMP supporters.

Most of us depend on trucking business, which has been wrecked by California Air Resource board, and other environmental nonsense.
