He lost with a wider margin than he won when running against Hilary Clinton. This time he also lost the electoral college spread. His supporters raked HER over the coals for waiting TWO days for vote verification before conceding.

Still, the moment the word came, she gracefully conceded, honoring election tradition since John Adams. She didn’t file false claims, or spread false conspiracy theories or accusations without proof. She wasn’t petulant or petty. She didn’t like losing either. She didn’t act in the hopes of creating or encouraging faithless electors in an attempt to steal the election.

Yes, we have a system to see this through and hopefully he won’t be able to further strain it. Time will tell.

So what do you think happens if walks away with the presidency after losing the popular vote, creating faithless electors, or getting inappropriate judicial support after packing the courts with low integrity judges who adhere to an obscure interpretation of presidential powers? Why would you think the people should accept such a person? That’s not democracy, that’s authoritarianism.

And yes, I would.be saying the same thing if Clinton, Gore, or any other candidate from either party behaved this way. It simply cannot be tolerated by the electorate. In my opinion, his behavior invalidates his viability as a potential candidate in 2024. I for one will not support such a candidate nor any party that endorses them. Up and down the ticket, I will draw that line because I don’t want to live in a banana republic or an authoritarian/dictator/fascist state.

You, dear reader, must make you own choice to the best of your ability and to your own conscience and integrity.
