Trump says he’ll leave if Electoral College seats Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory — even as he insisted such a decision would be a “mistake” — as he spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat.

“Certainly I will. But you know that,” Trump said Thursday when asked whether he would vacate the building, allowing a peaceful transition of power in January. But Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that “a lot of things” would happen between now and then that might alter the results.

I don’t see why he would.

My gut tells me that Trump will get a small victory in one of his legal fights in SCOTUS, Perhaps in PA, but not enough to swing the election his way.


My gut tells me that if Trump prevails in one state, the other contested states will fall like dominos. SCOTUS will determine the election results invalid and per the Constitution, turn to the House to vote and elect the next President. The majority of State legislatures are red, so President Trump is re-elected. That is the way it should work. The evidence is overwhelming. I think biden and Heels are DOA....and they know it.

Mattis is out of military and works for William Cohen’s group that is employed by the ChiComs.

Which explains why Mattis is unhappy with “America First” anymore. His new paycheck is dependent on “America Last.” Sad to see he sold out for filthy lucre.

“Now he is saying he will leave if he loses the EC.”
I take this to mean whatever the
EC is after all this election
fraud is brought forth and sorted
out. If the EC total is in Biden’s
favor after the courts decisions,
He’ll have no choice but to
concede. He’s going to fight this
to the last minute, for US.

The key is the electoral votes. If states previously awarded to biden are vacated by the courts..biden falls below the 270 threshold. If neither candidate fails to achieve the 270 electoral votes the be elected, then the matter is referred to the House for resolution. One State..one Vote. (Majority of state legislations are red).

yes, the House option has been floated on here many times. If SCOTUS has the authority to DQ the state electoral votes to below 270, then yes, the house decides, and our margin of legislatures is slim and theres no shortage of filthy, backstabbing RINO’s to blow it for us.

I’m not giving up hope, it’s just a monumental feat to overcome but hey what do I know? I live in Israel and in 1948 and 1967 and 1973 the odds were certainly not in our favor and it was pulled off all 3 times and today we have a mostly genuine peace with many of our former adversaries!

It was not an insult. It was a point of reference.

He makes Trump look like a beggar.

I'll bet 9 out of 10 readers thought that was an insult or a very careless comment.

Methinks they do protest too much. Whom are they trying to convince?

Notice the “media” (D) are no longer denying voter fraud... just “massive” voter fraud.

Question: If (when) it goes to SCOTUS, how will CJ Roberts vote?

Get it to the Supreme Court first and then worry about how Roberts is going to vote.

If states previously awarded to biden are vacated by the courts.

A very, very big 'if'. Judges will not lightly vacate the votes of millions of legal voters without solid, conclusive evidence of massive vote fraud.

Big Mistake.

The state delegations of the House of Representatives may be selecting the next president, as required by the Supreme Court,whether the electoral college votes or not.
