kind of not news
One never concedes to fraud.
He’d better not.
You don’t concede to a thief who just burglarized your house and made away with your property.
At a bare minimum, it means the communists will be denied the “legitimacy” they want. And make no mistake, they DO want it and it DOES matter to them. Trump conceding would kill the widespread belief that the election was stolen.
They would love to say “even your own leader doesn’t believe that anymore”.
It could mean more, but at a minimum, it means that.
I will be in dc on January 6. I will bring my camera and play reporter.
To concede or not is irrelevant from a legal process point of view. There are certain steps that are required a part of the process of the electoral college. Those steps will be conducted regardless of the Presidents statements.
HOWEVER
To not concede is also important as some of those steps require actions by 3rd parties. By not conceding, the President is asserting that he wants to continue the fight and signals to those 3rd parties, that actions taken on his behalf are welcome.
Specifically, a Senator and a Representative is required to contest the vote in writing. I believe this signals, along with the Jan 6th rally in DC, that there is still a fight and that the action or inaction of Congress will be recorded for history. Further, that those actions will weigh heavily in the next election. Some have already chosen to publicly support fraud. They will be remembered.
President Trump should never concede.
If Trump did concede before January 6th, Congress would do an immediate vote with no discussion of the Electoral Votes.
There’s no legal requirement for him to concede, even after Jan. 20.
Trump WILL BE sworn in as president again on Jan 20,2021. Why in the world would he concede?
As for my house we will stand in front of our President.
Ping
Prayers for President Trump.
Hoo RAH!
I had to look that one up.
#MAGAA!!! Go Trump!
Good, but time is running out. Is he ready to spend some money and hire some good attorneys to help fight the steal? Or, is he okay with lots of talk and losing?
I am still hoping that the courts, the legislatures, or congress will see fit to end this Election Theft Operation SOON!
it is SO damned obvious, so IN OUR FACES, that giving in to it will be a clear beacon that USA does not care to have fair, honest elections and representative government anymore
I used to think that students who studied ancient Rome and how the Roman republic was lost, turned into a dictatorship, were..... well, unrealistic to spend their time in school learning about such antiquated, out-dated events
I was wrong.
NEVER GIVE IN TO CHEATERS!!
This is NOT just about Trump...its about how our country survives or not.
Why would he? He won.
At that point, he knows that each State has 1 vote. I'm sure he is also lobbying the 30 state Repub legislatures to re-select their Electors in his favor. The rub is that it takes 1 Repub from the House and 1 Repub from the Senate. We have 1 House person ready to contest, now it's up to 1 in the Senate. My guess that will Rand Paul. Does anyone know if we have 1 committed Senator who would contest?
All Trump needs is 26 votes at that point and he wins.
I actually want to see it go this far. What a lesson in civics it would be, not to mention the socialist/commies heads exploding everywhere.
