Every part of the Trunp phenomena is caused by the media's "ratings = money, money = good" attitude. They could make this entire thing disappear overnight if they wanted. "...and before we go, here's a look at the lighter side! This squirrel was taught by his owner to ride a skateboard! A crazy man thinks he's president of America even though not enough people voted for him! And watch this hummingbird get more than it bargened for when it tries to suck honey from a beehive! That's all folks, see you next time." But that won't happen. We're capitalists which means wealth equals worth so the circus of false outrage will continue until my country crumbles to dust.

It's not so much if he doesn't accept the election. It's if everyone starts doing it, year after year, so it becomes normal. That's how you get President Tinpot refusing to step down because nobody can prove the election wasn't rigged and besides the opposition are all in prison now. Oh and hey the prison thing is also something Trump wants to do!

yeah I eat rear end posted:People on both sides always whine that the system is rigged when they lose. Just look back at how democrats reacted to the gore/bush election. It's just weird to hear one of the candidates joining in on the whining. The difference with Gore was he said it was rigged AFTER the election and also millions of votes disappeared. Trump is just sowing seeds of discourse for his brain dead hillbilly supporters.

Trump says he lost due to cheating. Throughout the country good old boys drag their coolers and lawn chairs to the entrance of the trailer park, lay a shotgun across their laps, and vow to shoot the first goddam commie hippy that comes up the gravel road. Later in the day Sheriff Grubbs comes along and tells them to move it indoors because they're scaring the chickens. Basically it'll be like the fourth of July without a three day weekend.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Yeah how horrifying, Trump is going to tweet at Hillary a bunch saying send her to jail, his supporters will continue hating her and maybe there will be a half-hearted riot or two after the election results are in, but the vast majority of people will grudgingly move on with life and blame her for everything that goes wrong just like they did the past 8 years with Obama. I'm not afraid there's going to be some sort of uprising; I'm afraid that American political rhetoric has become so poisonous and nonsensical that nobody will be able to get anything done for the foreseeable future. This makes me sad because America really is the sort of place where people with diverse opinions and backgrounds can work together and make great accomplishments (due to our comparatively fluid class structure). It is a big, largely empty, relatively underpopulated country with incredible quality of life and the safest and most plentiful food production and distribution network in human history. If only we weren't such gigantic assholes.

Gazpacho posted:lmao if gore really wanted to be gracious and really didn't want the courts intervening, maybe he should have conceded election night and not petitioned them in the first place Just because Gore is a decent human being doesn't mean he's stupid. He conceded after the court's decision; that's what I said. Trump would never do that - unless Clinton wins with a ten point lead he will never technically concede the election. Mark my words. He'll make it into a thing he can spin off into a cable network run by Ailes and breitbart or something.

Dial-a-Dog posted:I heard it during the debate, and now I keep hearing about it in the news. It's not like during the republican primary where they were worried he would gently caress up their vote by running third party, if he loses the election he's lost the election. It's not like he has a private army ready to march on Washington if the results aren't in their favor. Why even ask the question, or care about the answer? He pretty much does have his own private army though. It's an utter joke and it's never actually going to amount to the slightest threat against the state, but that doesn't mean they couldn't make a couple messes if they were motivated enough.

I mean did Gore concede on election day? Nope. But that's more a theoretical point. The fact is Donald Trump is just a big loser crybaby and that's why he's doing this.

I think Wallace was throwing Trump an incredible opportunity on purpose that Trump couldn't figure out in the moment at the debate. Calling the election rigged at ralies is one thing, that fires up the base. Wallace was giving him a shot to walk it back to an audience of 60 million people most of which aren't his base and some of which are undoubtedly undecided, and he whiffed a great soft pitch. I think Wallace drilled down on it assuming he would get the hint, not that he would double down on it and ruin his entire debate performance for swing voters, and give the media a frenzy of headlines he now has to chase down for weeks.

As an observer, I want Trump to win. I mean, we are already a laughingstock, why not go full retard. The only reason I can think of that Hillary needs to win is SCOTUS. But in the long run, I think it would actually be in the US's best interest for Trump to win. Things are not changing. They are getting worse. We need some sort of spark to get us on the path towards what is working all over Europe. Hillary winning is just more of the same.

I accept the finality of this outcome which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession. I also accept my responsibility, which I will discharge unconditionally, to honor the new President-elect and do everything possible to help him bring Americans together in fulfillment of the great vision that our Declaration of Independence defines and that our Constitution affirms and defends.

Lol. Like there is going to be any new appointments to the Supreme Court in the next four years. Until one party holds all the stops, there won't be a successful nomination. The excuse given before was "well this president is leaving, the people will decide when they vote for the next president" but that excuse hinged on the assumption that the Republicans were going to win the election. Now they are going to change the excuse to "well Clinton is under investigation and it wouldn't be right for her to nominate judges that will be eventually hearing her case".
