It's seriously about time to start talking about this. The election could go either way and things aren't looking to be in the bag at all for donald.

Having said that, IF he loses the election, what would happen if he refused to concede? What could he realistically do to fight against it?

A lot of people are worried that he'll refuse to concede and try to get this matter tied up in courts and then stall it forever like what he's currently doing with his taxes, pushing his term past 2020 in the process.

This has been historically untested. Could he do it? We all know he'll NEVER go quietly or easily. It's in his nature to make a big fcking drama out of the whole thing. So, how realistic is it that he could make this like his tax returns and stall this up in legal limbo, cheating his way into 2021 and beyond?

Trump will say there were discrepancies at the polls. Barr will back him up. They'll challenge state-wide elections in the courts. Republicans will back him up because the only way they can win is to cheat or lie. They stopped caring about the Constitution and democracy.

A democratic win needs to be landslide. Nothing close.

Annnnd I'm guessing you think Biden or Booty are gonna deliver that landslide.

This is precisely what I'm afraid of.

I'm also afraid that, if the election is close, Donald will succeed in overriding it and remaining president for another term. This has been a worry of mine for a long time.

The couple of people that went to the rally last night think he will win in 2020.

Normally the incoming administration staff is instructed and updated by the outgoing but Trump's people are willfully uninformed and many positions were left vacant. When his staff came in, they didn't want any information even in vital positions.

Another reason to vote for Biden is because he has experience as a Vice President so knows how things are supposed to run.

I believe it will all be hypothetical when Trump wins next year.

Trump is what America wants. He represents their values and they are proud of him. Let them have him.
