Trump hedges when asked whether he would transfer power peacefully

I’m a religious person but wouldn’t attempt to speak for God’s motives. I certainly wouldn’t claim that God put a wife-cheating, pornstar banging, business swindler, student defrauded, etc. on Earth to save the country. Not only is it absurd, it’s hubris.

God forgives people. At least that's what I believe lol.

I certainly wouldn't say that Trump was sent by God, but if Hillary had taken control of this nation, it would have gone to complete hell.

You all are able to forgive Bill Clinton in a heartbeat. Interesting.

Is that where he says that windmills cause cancer or apologize for his wife not being there, when she was standing right next to him?

Did you watch the clip at 1:04?

Joe is not right in the head.

Trump has no problem communicating with people. He mispeaks every once in a while, but catches himself.

Trump hedges when asked whether he would transfer power peacefully

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 election to Democratic rival Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 election to Democratic rival Joe Biden.

“We’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump, a Republican, told reporters at the White House when asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer.

The president has sought repeatedly to cast doubt, preemptively, on the legitimacy of the election because of his concerns about mail-in voting, which Democrats have encouraged during the pandemic.

“The ballots are a disaster,” Trump said.
====================================================
This guy is dangerous.

Reporter: "Win, lose, or draw.....will you commit here today to a peaceful transfer of power...."

Trump: "We'll have to see what happens."

Am I the only one who noticed that Trump actually listened to and answered the question asked?

The "future" is here today with Trump. He is attempting to take "unchallenged power" using the tools of his office and against the Constitution. You want a dictatorship but you are not going t get one. When Biden wins the election Trump will go. That is how it is in America.

Not forbidden from voting, forbidden from cheating. Big difference.

Your side should try winning on ideas, not by subverting elections by allowing illegals to vote, stealing/destroying ballots, etc.




How about Law & order...

the OPPOSITE of what the commie and anarchist loving BLM run democrat party is today.





You mean actions like growing the economy and putting Americans back to work?
Confronting bad actors like China, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela?
Working towards peace in the middle East?
Securing our borders?
Prortecting American citizens, business, public institutions from anarchist criminals?




All he isn't willing to commit to is a loaded question about conceding in the event there is evidence of wide-scale voting fraud.

Do you have any thing to back up your claim that the left is allowing illegals to vote and "stealing / destroying ballots. etc.
Besides videos of your fuhrer Trump saying this is happening
when there has been many investigations into voter fraud and very very few cases were ever found
Please try to back up your accusations with some real facts not just Trump rants
Have a nice evening

Apparently the FBI busted staff at a Pennsylvania board of elections throwing away military ballots cast for Trump.

Why would he?

I don't know about other states, but here in Wisconsin mail in ballots will be counted up to six days after...

so you don't agree he should accept the election results. your guys blind hypocrisy is simply astounding. so i never want to hear another complaint out of you again about not accept election results.

So the conservatives here constantly accuse everyone else of being hysterical, of hedging, of making excuses for when Biden loses and yet it's their president who keeps saying flat out he won't accept the results of the election and insists on throwing ballots out.

The sad thing is it is legal. It is not legitimate, but currently, many state legislatures can give their EC votes to whoever they like even if their states don't vote for that candidate. Eight or ten of the swing states in play have Republican controlled houses - they can just say, screw it, we choose Trump anyway. They can literally disregard ballots.

This is where the legitimacy of the GOP ends and democracy dies. "I for one welcome our new dictatorial overlords..."

That is one reason why the EC should be over hauled
instead of the way it is now, winner take all states, and like you said having a one party controlled state just take their EC del. and just give them to the person they want would have to go.
It should be people elect their EC Del. by Congressional district and the person they elect HAS to vote for the candidate the people of that Congressional dist. voted for, and the majority of the Cong. dist. would get the two state dels
as it is now a state could have 15 congressional dist. and if 8 of those dist. vote for one party all the EC del.have to vote for that canid. ( that could mean it could come down to one district that say has 1301 voters in it and 651 people voted for one and 650 the other the one that got that 1 vote wins , and if it is a winner take all state that 1 vote could set the stage for how the state votes in the EC )
and with out the winner take all one cand. would get 7 of the states votes and the other would get 8
this is more fair to everybody then a winner take all state
Have a nice evening

It's why God is so popular with certain kinds of people.

On the other hand and based on you guys posts I am unpopular over there.

Very.

And proud of it.

So, if Trump got his way and all mail-in-ballots were not counted, these 9 ballots wouldn't be counted.

The FBI was able to recover 9. How many did the staff run through a paper shredder before the FBI busted them? I know you hate Trump, but destroying ballots is not the way to win the election.

Until votes are counted, there are no election results. What Trump wants is to judge states that he leads in-person on election night to be the final result, without counting absentee ballots. That's just not how it ever worked. In every election, the only time mail-in-ballots aren't counted is when the margin of win is greater than the number of mail-in-ballots.

That's a supposition that there is no evidence to support. You can suppose anything you want.

Yeah, I can suppose that when the FBI responded to complaints about the board of elections staff discarding or destroying ballots that means they had discarded or destroyed more ballots prior to the FBI’s arrival.

This election is going to be riddled with fraud because of the rise in mail-in voting.

We vote by mail in Washington state. We have all kinds of incidents where people vote multiple Times. They don’t even bother prosecuting it any more unless it involves one person voting 50 times.

I say what you posted is a fabrication. Prove it, please. Why must people who support Trump lie? They don't tell the truth and repeat Trump's lies and the really weird thing is they truly believe his lies. It's scary mind-twisting.

Mostly due to the sketchy nature of mail in voting and counting.

What sketchy nature? There's no sketchy nature to mail voting. You are being brainwashed by Trump. Slap yourself in the face and snap out of it. Mail in voting is ultra safe and ultra fraud free.
