At yesterday’s White House press briefing Brian Karem of Playboy (ed. Playboy? When did they become a “news” outlet?) asked the President “win, lose or draw in this election, will you commit here today for a peaceful transferal of power after the election?” President Trump deferred, again citing his concern that mail-in voting could lead to widespread voter fraud, and stating that he expected to win and therefore didn’t anticipate a transfer of power, just a continuation.
The Democratic operatives with bullhorns – the journalists I mean, not the “protestors” – immediately got all wee-weed up (Barack’s term not mine). Their antics and accusations would have you believe that the President is, well, literally Hitler!
Literally, I tell you!
They are outraged that President Trump has declined to concede the election 49 days before it is held. Furthermore he has the audacity to throw shade on the process underway in many Blue swing states to send unsolicited requests for 1) voter registration and 2) absentee ballots. I can tell you firsthand that it stinks to high heaven. How? Well here in Michigan, at the address of the bunker that MOTUS built 32 years ago, and hence has never been occupied by anyone else, a woman with my surname and an entirely different first name received an unsolicited application to register to vote from the office of the Secretary of State. Two weeks later this non-existent woman received an application for an absentee ballot, odd as she apparently had never registered to vote. Nor could she possibly have met the guidelines for either solicitation as stated by the SoS:
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson previously announced her office would send information on how to apply for an absentee ballot to 4.4 million registered voters.
The state is also sending 700,000 letters to residents who are eligible to vote and have a driver's license or state identification card but are not registered to vote, according to a news release.
Since “Lisa” is not a registered voter she shouldn’t have gotten an application for absentee ballot, and since she certainly doesn’t have a either a driver’s license or state ID with MY address listed as her residence she didn’t qualify for an application to register to vote either. So what good is poll watching when “Lisa” is probably going to vote by mail, for Biden, using my address which is in a Republican district? And they wonder why the President thinks this drive for mail in voting (ostensibly to avoid the Cooties) is rigged?
I would ask my Democrat/liberal friends, of which I have very few anymore, if they would be comfortable if the tables were turned. If it were the Republican/conservatives who were driving a get-out-the-mail-in-vote campaign in states where they controlled the respective state election commissions. Of course not, Democrats wouldn’t stand by and allow 80 million unrequested, unverifiable ballots to jam the mail, delay vote counts and in all likelihood allow the election to devolve into chaos. But then, the Dems are all too familiar with how this scam is run, they’d be prepared to deal with it. They’d be demanding NOW to know how the unsolicited ballot mailing lists were created and begin verifying the names NOW. You know - in order to ensure a “peaceful transition of power” regardless of the election results.
Now if you want to know what an actual refusal to allow a “peaceful transition of power” you need look no further than the Obama administration’s operation Crossfire Hurricane.
Don’t count on it my Democrat friends; you’ve done something really stupid.

I so much don’t want a revolution. And I don’t want to fight, I don’t want tons of damage to the country and I’m comfortable at home.
Unlike some here who seem eager, I have no desire to kill anyone.
But if Biden wins by treachery and cheating we all will have no choice.
I can understand the desire here by some to go to battle. But they need to think through how bad that actually is.
But if events fall that way, I will be there
We will see what happens soon enough
We’ve sat through this “Will you concede?” drama back in 2016 with Hillary.
Why does no ask the Dems if they will gracefully accept a loss and concede?
Some of us are still waiting for them to concede 20016
“Don’t count on it my Democrat friends; you’ve done something really stupid.”
Dems have done nothing for which they’ll face negative consequences. They’ll cheat their butts off, and quite possibly will steal an election. The media will cheer.
Agree that this is the second from worst outcome, its almost as bad as being ruled by tyrants who have no respect for the rule of law and are controlled by foreign powers.
But it might be what we have in store.
Trump should have said, “you should ask the democrats if they are ready to concede they lost in 2016 and ask about how peaceful their transfer of power was?”
The whole premise of the question is: “President Trump are you willing to make a commitment today that you will leave the White House next year?”
Answer: “Hey, I haven’t lost yet! Why don’t we wait and see?”
Next question: What if they “moved” every month for the last year? Is that person leaving a trail of 12 ballots?
They still haven’t conceded the results of 2016, that’s why.
Kayleigh should do a count of how many times Trump has been asked this in, say, the last three months. Then, the next time the question gets asked, Trump’s (or Kayleigh’s) response should be: “This question has been asked — and answered — XX times since June. We won’t answer this question anymore, not until after you have asked the Biden campaign the same question XX times.”
How bad is it if we don’t do battle? Should we just placidly march off to the concentration camps, or worse. If Biden wins and the left takes the senate you can kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye. They won’t stop this time and your ability to mount a defense (2a) will be removed in a snap. Nobody wants where this is headed. If we’re not willing to protect our rights now when it’s more easy we’ll be looking at a 1939 eastern Europe scenario with the left in power. It only took 30 years to turn this country into a third world shithole.
“President Trump are you willing to make a commitment today that you will leave the White House next year?”
Since Liberals are hard at work assuring mass hysterics and wholesale lawlessness after the President is re-elected, THIS is the kind of question they have only scripted so they can REVISIT this interview after the election.
Believe me it will be played and re-played during the carefully concerted, funded and stage-managed tsunami of discord and desctuction they have OPENLY PROMISED US!
It’s so gratuitous that is nauseating.
Rush made an insightful observation yesterday. If Trump had said he would leave the office peacefully and lawfully if he loses, the crooked leftist press would be blaring “Trump concedes election, will leave office” or “Trump says he will lose and transfer power.”
Totally agree, whether intentional r by accident it was the correct response. I assume he knows just how corrupt the media is and anticipated this with his response. Bottom line, who wouldn't have a caveat regarding a fair election w/o fraud.
I agree.
I didn’t say I won’t fight. I just don’t want to :)
We would have never just how bad it was if Trump didn’t win.
Sometimes ignorant bliss is a decent thing :)
Until the time when they come for you.
Trump is very smart. I’m sure he anticipated this “gotcha” and planned his response.
