Will Democrats Accept Another Trump Victory? Every time they’ve lost since 1968, they’ve called it illegitimate—except for the 49-state landslides.
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 10 2020 | By Barton Swaim

Joe Biden, asked recently if he had considered the possibility that President Trump may refuse to concede defeat in the election, answered that he had. But he was “absolutely convinced,” the former vice president said reassuringly, that if such a thing happens, military personnel will “escort him from the White House with great dispatch.” What a relief!

The exchange brings to mind the 2016 campaign, when media personalities speculated that Mr. Trump would refuse to concede to Hillary Clinton. The hypothesis was never tested, Mr. Trump having had the bad manners to win, but it turned out to be they who refused to concede defeat—not by contesting the election results but by persuading themselves and half the country that Mr. Trump had won by illegal means and generally behaving like spoiled children for the next four years.

I suspect Mr. Trump would have conceded the night of the election (which Mrs. Clinton did not do), for the simple reason that he neither expected nor particularly wanted to win. In the event that Mr. Trump fails to win re-election, he will depart willingly. Not graciously, perhaps, but willingly and at the appointed time.

The more interesting question is: What will Democrats do if Mr. Biden loses? What idiotic conspiracy theory will they concoct to explain their defeat?

The dems are planning on stealing the election using mail in ballots then when Trump objects as he should they will say “see we told you he would do this” They’ve been setting this up with their “storm troopers” comments, and notice that they have nothing to say about all the mail in fraud during the dem primaries (trial run).
Be afraid, be very afraid.

President Reagan’s 49 state landslide in 1984 was not lost by the Democrats.

I remember them saying that Reagan was a Great Communicator and fooled the American people. He had no substance, but knew how to talk well. He was like everyone’s grandfather, so people liked him. They called him an idiot that fell asleep in meetings and didn’t know what was going on.

Democrats have never lost an election. It is either stolen or the voters were fooled.

“There were long waits to vote in a small town in Ohio...”

If they wouldn’t bus so many people from polling place to polling place, this wouldn’t happen. The last busloads at each station always have trouble getting in before the polls close.

Seems to me they contested the results—they demanded recounts in several states.

Yup. The Dems did that by proxy through Jill Stein.

Don forget that Nixon also won a huge 49 state landslide in 1972.
