What happens when Trump defeats the democrat challenger again? Will the democrat and the media accept defeat, or will they launch another investigation, and spend another 4 years of pissing and moaning?

Will CNN accept defeat?

What if Commie News Network hired a few people with more than two brain cells in their head?

Leftist media just keep hysterically hammering this, as if they scream lound enough and long enough, Americans will just ignore the THOUSANDS of ilegals streaming over the border.
Dumbocrats never learn. They constantly asked that same question in 2016. Will Trump accept the results of the election??
Haha. They still can’t accept the results. And they won’t in 2020 either.
