Poll of the Day > Trump was golfing when election was called

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sounds about right because it seems he was always golfing even when disaster struck. His niece said he wouldn't concede and it looks like she's right.

Trump, who has reacted with defiance and deceit while losing to Biden, left the White House on Saturday for the first time in days. I guess he's a shell of his former self and the only person he can blame for losing is Donald John Trump. I suppose some people have had enough of his BS finally.

Considering the circumstances, he shouldn't just yet concede. The idea that the media calling an election so that candidate must concede is ludicrous and, more importantly, it led to Gore conceding in 2000 *THEN* retracting his concession for a recount.

Given the close numbers and the unusual way this election was conducted, the result should scrutinized.

Funny how you had no issue listening to the media in 2016 when they called it for Trump, no your half baked dictator lost and now you start digging into the weeds, and even then you are losing the court battles still.

Funny how somebody I've never met before (or an unknown alt) makes broad, weird sweeping claims divorced from reality while simultaneously ignoring that this race -- which relied on unprecedented, fallible changes to how voting was conducted -- was very different from 2016. But keep on trolling.

Zeus is a left-leaning moderate... lol.

I guess that's why he always parrots republican lies. I wonder if he's been on here talking about counting software glitches and dead voters. Probably.

Trump should have encouraged his fanatics to vote by mail, but instead he discouraged it, because he's stupid. Now he's going to throw a Trump tantrum, nothing is going to come of it because his assertions of significant vote fraud have no evidence, and Biden will be inaugurated.

Pence needs to activate the 25th amendment and take control so that there is a smooth transition of power which is a core tenant of American democracy.

It says a lot to loose against the one guy who is on his third presidential bid.

My mother asked me what Trump's reaction was when the election was called for Biden.
I told her he had none, and was golfing.
She was baffled by my response.

When results are this close in some states, there are bound to be recounts. If irregularities have been found, it is up for the courts to appreciate them. But Trump's going to fish for anything he can find that might keep his hopes up, regardless of validity.

Should he concede before the recounts? No. Wouldn't make sense. But should he question the validity of the elections altogether because he doesn't like the result? Of course not. Attacking the system is never a wise move, unless you're adopting a scorched earth approach and don't give a damn about your country, your party and that people that will follow. If he had any grace, he would point to the problems found in the elections and use his powers to propose solutions or alternatives to the issues found, setting the example for how to improve the system rather than burn it down.

Luckily, many in the republican party have realized they have offices to hold in the next years and that there will be more elections in the future. Those who have denounced him for his words and recommended he respected the elections are doing what any elected official should do. The world will go on the next day after he leaves the white house and the country needs to move forward, instead of being kept fighting piss contests between deranged people who believe democracy is valid only when they win.

It doesn't matter if he concedes or not. On Jan 20, 2021, he will no longer be president regardless of his consent and he will be escorted off the premises as an intruder if he keeps it up at that point in time. We are gonna get a recount in GA at minimum, other states will certify their results & elect their electors & comfirm Biden. The world will move on in 2021 just like we did in 2017.

In how it actually works, if the difference between candiates tightens within a certain percentage, there is a recount. The only state that qualifies for revote per state law is GA. Trump can have GA for all I care, he loses regardless of the recount result.

Conceding is a formality anyway. Doesnt matter if he does it or not, he will not be president at noon on January 20th

---

Some only care about how their own state or district voted.

Like how someone in GA don't give a shit about whats happening in CA.

---

Florida, but my area flipped to Biden.

---

Well, now he can spend the rest of his days golfing without worrying about some pesky presidency.

---

Doesn't that break the rule that you can't declare a winner when the loser is on a golf course?
