I voted 50%. Mostly because I think he is a child and will never admit to a loss. He will claim everything he can to not have to claim, but because he is a baby, even if every challenge loses, he still wont concede to another candidate.
Well, in fairness, you won't see an option like that from someone seeking genuine dialogue and asking a hypothetical question like the one Joe asked. I'm not sure why you'd expect this sort of stuff from the owner of the board.

Well it would help if Trump would stop dropping hints about it. He's done it
...and people, such as yourself, others on this board, and the MSM...have bitten on it....Well it would help if Trump would stop dropping hints about it. He's done it twice now.
Nice guy, a president who trolls. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP cared about honor and integrity in the office of the President.
The Office of the Presidency itself....or the Oval Office?
But that's not Joe....Joe's the one that asked the question and I'm confident he asked it in a genuine manner. I am confident in that because of what he asked and how he asked it. It might do you some good to assign the behavior to the individuals exhibiting the behavior rather than EVERYONE you merely perceived to be on the opposite "side" of you. Incidentally, that recommendation flows both ways. You won't, but it's worth a shot to suggest it.Because of the absolute hypocrisy of the Left...and I am just not talking about the politicians of the Left.Well, in fairness, you won't see an option like that from someone seeking genuine dialogue and asking a hypothetical question like the one Joe asked.

Pre-November 8, 2016 we were inundated with "news" stories telling us how Trump might not accept the results of the election and how it "was a direct assault on our democracy".
Refresh our memory of what transpired...beginning on November 9, 2016....and it has continued....to this day.
Why go posting hypothetical polls about whether or not President Trump would have a problem stepping down when recently, it has been more than a few Democrat candidates have had trouble merely stepping aside after losing an election?
Republicans don't have a history of this juvenile behavior....Democrats do.
That's right....so why think that President Trump wouldn't?
Well, this is easy. He provides a plethora of rocks for the conspiracy theorists that believe this sort of thing to hide behind. There are mounds of suggestive comments, actions, attacks on the process, attacks on the media for unfair elections etc that would lead one to believe he wouldn't take a "loss" all that well. I'm only 44 years old, so this may have happened with a prior President, but none come to mind in my years on this planet. Let's not pretend Trump's actions are normal or typical of a sitting President. He's pretty unique in many regards. This is one of them. Let's not pretend otherwise. For me it's less than 1% chance he'd fight it, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did. It's a 100% guarantee he'd whine about losing until he died.
It would be madness for anyone to refuse to hold elections or to try to stay in office after defeat. Millions would march on Washington to take back the People's House. It would be bedlam.
Pure conjecture.
Well of course it's a guess. It hasn't happened yet. That's the whole point of a hypothetical
Another "hypothetical" would be...."how much better would things be now if President Trump hasn't had to fight the MSM and their 97% negative coverage along with the defeated Democrats for the past two years?"Well of course it's a guess. It hasn't happened yet. That's the whole point of a hypothetical
Well, that can't really happen until he's been battling the Democrats for two years. It's only been 4-5 months that he's been battling the Dems. Prior to that his party controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency.Opie said:
....and we haven't had a media with a more bias agenda since the Southern Media of the 1860sIts amazing that the media could prevent the president from doing his job. But then we've never had one so thin-skinned that he couldn't ignore it and just run the country.
Well, no, some Trump supporters also think it is possible.Opie said:
Anything is possible. Some things are even probable....like Trump winning reelection...and that is what will be the main concern of the MSM for the next two years
Are we talking about the documented, direct influence FoxNews and the opinion portion of their programming has had on him or something else? Let's keep in mind billions were slated to be appropriated to southern border security until the
at FoxNews started calling him names. There was a bipartisan bill ready for signing.
You see...that's the big difference. FOX has an "opinion portion" of their programming.Are we talking about the documented, direct influence FoxNews and the opinion portion of their programming has had on him or something else? Let's keep in mind billions were slated to be appropriated to southern border security until the
Or are we talking about something else? As a peon in this country, I manage to ignore our MSM almost entirely. It shouldn't be difficult for a President with such abilities as a business man to do the same, yet here we are
Saying that "anything is possible" does not make me leaning one way or another.
Meh....last I watched any of it, they were all set up the same way. It was all mixed together and they intentionally conflate the two for ratings. I'm confident it's still that way all around. The irony of this is FoxNews was so successful at doing this (evidence being their ratings) that the others began to follow suit and blur the lines like them. Playing follow the leader like that leads to a national echo chamber of absurdity that a lot of you can't seem to get out of or don't really want to get out of. I'm sure that answer varies from one person to the next.
"Only" above is doing a lot of work...perhaps a rephrase is in order. Otherwise they are two contradictory statements when coming from a Trump supporter
Whatever gets you through..."Only" above is doing a lot of work...perhaps a rephrase is in order. Otherwise they are two contradictory statements coming from a Trump supporter
You need to be concerned with what concerns you. The Senate is abdicating its constitutional responsibility.
So, the opinions of those that run Fox are separate, distinct and segregated from their news reporting and never bleed into or influence it. However, unlike FOX, the MSM report their opinions as facts.
You should pay closer to attention to what Hannity and Carlson actually say. They both discuss investigations as breaking news and revelation of facts in their programs. Hannity has, under Trump, outright called himself a journalist.
Millions should be marching on Washington months ago.Henry Ford said:
It depends on what you mean by "concedes." I think there is roughly a 0% chance that he'll say, "I concede that I lost the election fair and square." But I also think there is about a 0% chance that he'll take concrete, effective steps to remain in power.
He did say he wouldn't accept the election results if he lost in 2016. I realize he is a pathological liar, but if someone says they are going to do something awful we should at least prepare for him to do it.Opie said:
Why would you believe him? He's reneged on so many verbal promises at this point, anything he says now would have absolutely no bearing in 2020.
