I think Trump’s main argument (which he does not clearly state, I concede) is that historically, the convention is that the presidential election unofficial loser gracefully concedes the election to the presidential unofficial election winner, prior to the formal written certifications are issued by the state SOSs.

The advantage of this convention for all parties is that the loser is given the opportunity of making a graceful exit from the national stage for a while, and is allowed to live (politically) until another opportunity to run arises in the future (along with his or her political supporters). A disadvantage of not doing this for the short term is political rioting in the streets between supporters of the various candidates.

The Democrats seem to be on a path to permanently throwing this convention away. When they throw this convention away, they get rioting in the streets.

Trump’s MO seems to be never to walk away from a fight (and make sure he finishes a fight if someone else starts one). Apparently he is making it clear from the outset that he intends not to walk away from this fight.

The Democrats (if I can take CNN as a representative mouthpiece for them) intends to use Trump’s refusal to back down as an reason to accuse Trump of threatening the democratic voting process, thus inciting riots by Democrats against Republicans.

The question of the delayed PA vote will probably come back to the USSC court again, and this time, it appears not likely that the USSC will duck the issue as in the past since they now have a quorum of 9 justices, including ACB. ACB (imho) probably won’t recuse herself. I would just guess that this paints a target on ACB’s back by rioters, and she and her family should seek and get USSS protection ASAP (along with the remainder of the USSC and their families).

Meanwhile DC and the White House probably need to batten down the hatches for a few weeks of rioting.

Things may get interesting if conservatives feel threatened enough by DC rioting to show up in force and demonstrate “peaceably” in favor of Trump... yikes...

Trump supporters don’t want to get in that mess, do they?

Michelle Malkin had a twitter video up with two women climbing atop a car and ‘twerking’ one of the women twerking was being finger——— by some guy, right there in the crowd.

Like dogs in the street, needed a water cannon.

The Vote counts in Pa are continuing but what they suspended was the continuous updating and the reporting of the numbers until 9am in Philly and apparently other places in Pa as well. There aren’t enough numbers in Philly left to over come trump’s numbers but state wide there are still nearly 1-2 million votes left to be counted.(mail ins, absentees, ect). How many are frauds...who knows.

I think Trump wins Pa but the Dems want to try making it look like it was by 5 votes(okay maybe not by so little) or so so they can try to delegitimize his win.
