Betting suspened. Will Trump concede?

Not a ****ing hope.

Btw, that would be the only reason to broadcast this presser imho.

4 years of pure BS. Most people have had enough of it

Self preservation kicking in.

Don Jr rallying the troops. You'd imagine most Reps in strong Trump areas will be militant.

Important to remember the near 90,000 in Philly still haven't been added. At least 70,000 of those will go to Biden. This won't be close at all.

90k in Philly, 100k in Pittsburg, 30k in Montgomery, 40k in Buck, 20k in a lot more. Its not even going to be close.

It's more that I'm worried how he will incite the lunatic fringe of his following.

As opposed to the four years of uplifting and memorable speeches he’s given ? It’ll be a slightly more angry word salad.

Bad loser is one thing. Inciting the kind of people who are trying to beat down doors at count centres is another...

What about the rumours of people 130 years of age voting from the grave? Quite impressive if they have.
One suggests people might be making fake news.

Republicans have to tread a fine line. As judged by Trump's raw vote count is base is still formidable. He's certainly not going to be receding into the shadows.

I think Trump is in Putin mode right now, drunk with power, thinking he can use the Putin playbook in the US. I hope to Baby Yoda he is in for a big shock.

I'm not ignoring that or deaf to it, but he's on the way out, he knows he can incite his following to do bad things... And if they truly believe that they're being robbed, it could escalate quite significantly.

These have been thoroughly debunked.

But look, how could they be right when they're being braInwashed by people like Paula White who is Trump's so-called spiritual advisor.

This was from a streamed service she held last night to get him elected... I mean, What.The.Absolute.Fcuk?????

Oh I know they are not right, I'm saying a large proportion of them genuinely believe in trump, they believe in the deep state conspiracies, they believe "they" are trying to steal this election and as such will feel that as good honest patriots they are honour bound to defend their country and their freedom.

In so many ways its tragic, and potentially very dangerous.

Things kicking off on CNN with Van Jones and Gloria Borger calling out Rick Santorum!

Tell me how

Why are we surprised.

'LIBERATE MICHIGAN'
'LIBERATE WISCONSIN'
'LIBERATE VIRGINIA'

Mr.Nice Guy

This has the feel of an uncle that's had one too many drinks at a wedding demanding to go up and make a speech, with the rest of the family not being able to stop him. I wonder are there Republican Party strategists biting their fingernails right now.

Judging by his character, I'm expecting a tantrum that would make a parent of a toddler blush. 'Stop the steal', 'it's a disgrace', 'we will go to the Supreme Court' etc.

This is probably going to be one of the most undiginified moments in modern US electoral history. Hope he keeps it brief at least.

Someone explained the reason for that earlier: Apparently '1900/01/01' is commonly used as a default date of birth in cases where the dob is unknown in some systems.

This is it

CNN is brilliant at the moment

The longer it goes on the more memes we get...

Santorum is getting a new one ripped for him

Brian?

Trump hasn't tweeted in 6 hours. Or have they been deleted?

Did you actually read what happened in that case or are you just blinding following garbage on twitter?
For a start it was not 130 it was 118, a son accidently voted using his deceased fathers (same name) polling card and the vote was challenged and disallowed.
So is the 1 (debunked) example out of 150 million votes the best propaganda you can come up with?

Edit: Sorry I may have missed your sarcasm!

Yeah watching it here. It’s very good.

I’m both dreading and dying to see what trump comes out with. I’m supposed to be in bed too. Like part of me really really hopes and prays he just concedes. The realist knows he could try to start a war....

Ah yeah it has but more entertaining now with a republican v democratic duking it out before Trump speaks

extra gravy

l wonder will they stick with the broadcast if he goes totally crazy...

Politics is shady as fck, anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Many who voted for Trump can't find their vote in the system , so they claim.
