Will Trump accept decision?

There has been a public outcry from the left about Trumps reluctance to give up his right to question the outcome of the election.

Why? Gore didn't accept it. Kerry charged that Bush stole it. Gregoire lost twice before she won once.

How come it is OK for Democrats to challenge but not Republicans?

I know why. It's because Democrats cheat and commit fraud. Look at the Kennedy/Nixon election and how the Illinois Democrats cheated. Heck, Podesta thinks it just fine for illegals to vote if they have a driver’s license.

Hey, Kim, we give illegals drivers licenses' and I'm sure many of them vote, so don't shed tears about Trump savaging the system. Politicians have done an admirable job of screwing things up all by themselves. Our vote by mail system would be easy to breach if one had the inclination.

Elections have been contested since the early years of the Republic, get over it. Did anyone notice that all of the mainstream news reporters had almost verbatim reactions to Mr. Trumps answer? Almost as if someone had written out the script and given it to them. Ya think?
