You know you're really dim-witted when? (You actually think a defeated President can successfully REFUSE to step down)

    Just to make it clear , I doubt very much if Trump will overtly refuse to accept the outcome of the election and do much about it , he may bark something out like it was rigged , it was a fraud...ya da ya da...... he'll go but unwillingly.

    It will certainly be an interesting election , one that is bound to spark up a lot of attention.

    Trump owes it to the people to not concede but fight! Dems have carried on street wars for weeks trying to use scare tactics to discourage lawful, poll, voting. This mail fraud is nothing but a YUGE chance for BiDumb to win. There's already been mail-in voter fraud all over the place. it would take the entire US military to guard the votes.

    Pathetic, corrupt, criminal, dems and billionaire leaders -- Soros and northern california tech giants are running the show to keep corrupt Dems in power no matter what it costs the country so they can carry on their mega control and lobbyists to beat the laws. They're above the law like the Clintons, BiDumbs, Obozo, etc., etc.

    There is nothing more the left would like to see but the military to knock down the doors on the white house, Gerard Butler style while Trump with his Tommy Gun shoots at the door of the oval office screaming "say hello to my little friend".

    None of that is going to happen, it's Democrat wishful thinking. What will happen is that Trump will win on the day of election and Antifa/BLM/Democrat terrorists are going to fail an attempt at a coup, with a few dozen of them shot down on the lawn of the White House.

    This event, totally self-inflicted, will be used for another 4 years to delegitimize everything Trump does because these were going to be "unarmed and peaceful protestors" while Pelosi and co wash their hands of the many bloodshed they've caused already.

    The issue with the OP is that it adds no context to Trump's words.

    Yes, taken in isolation, Trump refusing to leave office if he's voted out is very bad.

    But the context of this is that there are legitimate concerns that Democrats will use postal votes to commit voting fraud.

    Speaking about vote fraud, here's an interesting little video ...

    But doesn't that speak to the root of the problem? That (judging from his suggestion earlier this year that the election be postponed) Trump believes he would continue to be president in the interim while the results of a contested election are sorted out?

    Let's hope the elections are free and fair, and give a clear, uncontested, result.

    If that does not happen, the only option is to take it to the court. At that point the court may side with Biden, or it may side with Trump. The courts opinion will be definition be the legal ruling on the election, and so decide the legal winner. There is just no other option.

    In the spirit of compromise, anyone who is interested in a functional democracy must abide by it, just as with Bush v. Gore. This is why it is important to have a full court, to avoid the chaos a split court would result in, and why a contested result must be resolved by the court.

    I'm so old I can remember when News came to us for 1 hour at 6 p.m. on one of three channels and a man read the news without personal commentary.
    Yeah. I'm not kidding.

    With the innovation of Internet+smartphones a NEW MEDIA was created in which
    what we used to call NEWS was destroyed. Why? 24 hours 7 days a week is a LOT OF TIME TO FILL with content.
    The content has to be compelling or nobody watches it.
    If nobody watches the News advertisers will not pay $$ for commercial airing.

    Watch the Documentary SOCIAL DILEMMA on NETFLIX
    and see how Artificial Intelligence is running the media in such a way
    everything is monetized to induce "clicks" regardless of the destructive impact
    on our social sanity.

    Good docu movie revealing how the inter net media can be so mentally exploitative and manipulating toward it own self serving profiting agenda.

    It explains how certain developers and owners of such social media software (Facebook) like Mark Zuckerberg quickly became a billionaire. $$$
