Hillary Clinton is predicting Donald Trump's reelection effort will be a messy affair, and the former Democratic candidate has some advice for Joe Biden: If the race is close, don't concede.
Speaking with Jennifer Palmieri for Showtime's "The Circus," Clinton said Trump would likely try to take the election by going after absentee voting. She emphasized that even a small margin of votes can have major consequences, harking back to her experience winning the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes and still losing in the Electoral College.
Democrats, she said, should be ready to fight if the results come back too close to call.
"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is," Clinton said in an excerpt posted Tuesday.
Clinton's remarks were in response to Democrats' monthslong suspicions that Trump would try to contest a loss. In April, Biden predicted Trump would try to delay the election, only to have the president openly flirt with the idea months later (Republicans and Democrats alike have shot down the idea).

Sad the crime boss to the dementia patient.
Now what do you suppose she knew then what the rest of us know now? I mean, she is the author of Russiagate.
There is almost a complete MSM blackout of real news. Trump needs to grab the narrative.
The real news lies in the numbers and the statistical improbability as well as the affidavits re: the systems used and shenanigans on election night.
However, the Trump campaign is not focused. By spending time on things that are NOT consequential to this election they are throwing out a lot of distractions that warrant another look, but they will NOT change the election result. When the MSM does cover what is going on they focus on those things and frankly many of them are easily dismissed.
This is allowing the MSM to control the narrative and beat the drum. It’s a simple fact. It does not make me a loser nor anyone else pointing this out, this is a legitimate criticism. There are two battles here - public opinion among those who have an open mind AND the courts.
I think Rudy and others do not seem to get this. The courts want a rifle and he walked in there with a shotgun based on reporting. The Trump team needs to pick their shots carefully based on legal precedent. That does NOT mean we neglect the other problems with this election moving forward, but we need to move forward the big matters and not spend time highlighting the usual fraud (that can be addressed later) because courts don’t like a shotgun. The law requires precision.
They need to focus on the math, the lack of oversight, and the statistical probabilities that warrant a thorough investigation in the counties that did not follow the trends.
Trump should come out and demand a fair and full audit in these counties or he will not accept the result as legitimate.
He should say this does not mean he will not exit, but that he will not call concede. When the media is outraged he can simply play the Clinton video over and over and say this is their playbook for the last 4 years. Who cares if this makes heads explode on the left!
This can wrest back control of the narrative. So far, even the “audits and recounts” have again lacked oversight. MOST Americans want an audit because they recognize there have been big problems. He cannot control what the MSM say, but he can control what they have to talk about.
Just my .02 Demand a full audit in the contested counties. Period. This is the only data that will matter. Look at the votes, point out the ones that are hopelessly corrupted, and create a clear record of what happened.
This is our best chance now and moving forward. They did him this way for 4 years so I no longer care about accepting results unless they can explain the spikes in the count.
The hatred from the DC establishment, media (includes social media), and elected democrats the past 4 years shows me that there is no higher road available. Again, this is the best chance of winning now, but it is also the best chance of winning in 2022 and 2024.
“”if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is,””
That’s not really what she meant - it was - “if they are as relentless and crooked as we are”.. Would be interesting to learn why she considers the Republicans “relentless.” But of course, it’s all projection. It’s her and her goons who are good at it but they don’t know we know it!!
“”but he can control what they have to talk about.””
I like and agree with what you wrote...makes a lot of sense. I can’t see Rudy making any headway - only headlines..If Sidney Powell doesn’t produce something meaningful, that’s really going to smart. Anyone who read her book put a lot of faith in her and I for one don’t feel like being let down..
Somebody forgot to brief Hillary that the fix was in....
a final insult!
Take a look at the election of 1876.
If you want a good laugh check out the newspapers of that period.
In those days the newspapers were outspoken about who they were.
All the Republican newspapers said Hayes won.
All the Democratic newspapers said Tilden won.
The craziness dragged on for months.....
and then the Twelfth Amendment kicked in—Congress had to decide, one state, one vote, Hayes is chosen, one _day_ before Grant’s term expired!
Rinse and repeat this time, Republicans have the majority of state delegations, President Trump serves a second term.
What was that you were saying about the “narrative” again? ;-)
I think Rudy and others do not seem to get this. The courts want a rifle and he walked in there with a shotgun based on reporting.

I don’t think they brought out the big guns yet. Many timing issues. He won and they will prove it their way in their timing.
IOW, “Litigate to give us time to manufacture fake electronic votes, and then more time to manufacture fake ballots to match the fake electronic votes”.
