What Happens If Trump Won't Concede?

[Yousaidwhat]

It must be awful to be Lakhota, so terrified of everything not Dem.

He hides in the basement for a reason you know.

He resides in a wigwam? With a basement?

I'm sorry, I was under the impression it was a teepee.

Adobe hut with a hole in the floor maybe?

I hope that hole doesn't serve multiple purposes.

And what happens if Hillary won't concede?????

Expect riots looting.

No, no, we all know their will be more George Soros riots and looting (don't forget about police assassinations)

The question was, what will change once Hillary or Trump is elected?

Dogs and cats living together, pigs get wings, fire becomes ice. We are a republic, people have different opinions on life,used to it.

I imagine Trump will put on a show, after all entertainment is what he is all about. So it would really surprise me if he gave a concession speech--(without rigged election type comments --rigged into his speech)--LOL

Again he's all show, and I imagine he's going to put one on.

If Hillary wins we will oppose your corrupt lying imbecile from day 1 whether Trump concedes or not. No compromise, no middle ground, whatever she wants the answer is NO, forget it, pound sand, so get that through your thick skulls libs. Don't like it tough.

Golly.... now there's a yuge change from right winger behavior over the last 8 years.

Because without a bogus birth certificate or corrupt win by Hillary to justify the anti-American, lowlife bullshit, the party of zero accountability risks a confrontation with the the possibility that you lost outright because the politics of hate 'em all and let God sort 'em out, and blame everything on somebody else just aint all that popular with somebody else after all.

No way that's gonna happen anytime soon.

"But what if Trump doesn’t concede?"

Not a goddamn thing, in terms of Hillary becoming the next president.

However, it could have an effect on the various faggot "militias" popping up throughout the country in preparation for violent action if their fat, orange blob of shit thinks it's been "rigged." So, there is the potential that if he refuses to concede to Hillary, he could indirectly incite violence -- which I suspect is what he actually wants. The fucking scumbag.

Man am I looking forward to never seeing his ugly fucking face anymore.

Here’s What Could Happen If Donald Trump Doesn’t Accept The Election Results

WASHINGTON ― Samuel J. Tilden had a problem.

It was 1876, and the Democratic presidential nominee was one vote shy of the 185 Electoral College votes needed to secure the nation’s highest office. Tilden had swept the popular vote, winning 247,448 more ballots than his opponent Rutherford B. Hayes ― who also lagged behind in Electoral College votes, with 165.

But 20 votes had not been counted: one from Oregon, four from Florida, eight from Louisiana and seven from South Carolina. Democratic candidates had used fraud and violence to sweep the state-level elections in the South. But since Republicans still maintained control of the state electoral boards, they could throw out votes in order to secure Hayes a win. On March 5, 1877, an Electoral Commission established by Congress confirmed Hayes would be America’s 19th president.

During this political upheaval, there were talks of civil unrest, and fears of a second Civil War or the election being rigged to favor a candidate who better served the interests of the party in power. But Tilden, who had pretty good reason to think he was cheated, did not question the legitimacy of the results and conceded the election.

Current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may not be as gracious.

During the final presidential debate, Trump refused to say he would accept the election results in the contest against Hillary Clinton. In fact, as his chances of winning have dropped, his claims that the election is rigged against him have increased. (And, unlike Tilden, Trump doesn’t have a case.)

Fifty-six percent of Americans think Trump should concede if he loses on Tuesday, and 31 percent of those who believe he should concede think it would be a major threat to U.S. democracy if he doesn’t, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted this month.

Along party lines, the divide gets more stark. Only 48 percent of Republicans think Trump should concede if Clinton is declared the winner, compared to 77 percent of Democrats, based on the HuffPost/YouGov poll. Eighty-six percent of Republicans surveyed believe Clinton should concede versus 67 percent of Democrats.

Some political reporters and experts have argued that it doesn’t matter whether Trump accepts the election outcome. To some extent, they’re right: If Trump loses, he’ll have few legal recourses to contest the result.

But what if Trump doesn’t concede?

“Ever since Thomas Jefferson effected the first change in party power in 1800, our democracy has depended upon the peaceful transfer of power and the idea of an opposition — but a loyal opposition,” Allan Lichtman, a political historian at American University, told The Huffington Post. “Is Trump going to change 200 years of American history?”

No one knows. But Trump refusing to concede would flip the bird to a long American tradition of accepting a loss in a presidential election. And refusing to bow out peacefully could have real-life consequences.

Yep, this is scary stuff - especially considering the fact that Trump is not a patriot. Trump is in it for Trump - and he may well try to burn democracy down.

Who cares? Life goes on without him

You are our enemy, get used to it lib. The days of your lawless corrupt cop hating regime will soon be at an end.

Why would the winner concede?

He shouldn't concede. Hillary's only real support are the non-living and illegals, nobody attends her "rallies". Obama already suborned felony voter fraud, so if Illegals vote, Obama needs to be held accountable.

"Democratic candidates had used fraud and violence to sweep the state-level elections in the South." Wow, how different things are today
