Will Pres. Trump Accept The Election Results? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[carmenpatriciacondefierro]

I have been saying it all WILL GET WORSE AND

[AingellAingell]

A natural-born coward and grifter calling anyone "Weak" is straight-up crazy.

[jamesp]

He's just distracting us again. Let's talk coronavirus, the children in cages, the bounties on our soldiers.

[trinad]

Who cares whether he accepts it or not, it’s not up to Trump!

[jimsmith]

come out with your tiny hands up! We have you surrounded. Vote Trump out!

[jollyandwaylo]

A fool isn't afraid to look like a fool. In Trump's case, he has been doing it his entire life. If only we had a political party that would fight against Republicans.

[denniscollins]

Of course the jackweed won’t accept defeat. Be prepared to help him with an exit strategy.

[dgcconn]

It's not going to be over on Nov. 3, folks. We are going to have to march in the streets from Nov 4 to Jan 20 to force that traitor out of the White House.

[rt-]

He will have to except it when they move him out at 12:01 January 20th!

[dovyhk]

You could be very certain that trump would not accept the election result that did not favour him. People do not understand how powerful a sitting POTUS could be. He has 30-40% support and he has the AG and the military. And you could not ignore the influence from Russia.

[RH-sbco]

When trump is voted out of office this Nov. and refuses to leave, he'll just get "fumigated out."

[AllUCanEatChurros]

We must vote in numbers too big to rig. If all else fails, we still know where the pitchforks are.

In Germany we've got something you don't have or maybe don't even know: a strict law on registration. Whenever we move to a new place, we must get registered there within a week and all of us have an ID card. You may think that this is a loss of individual freedom, but it isn't at all. There's no need to get registered for elections to be able to vote, since we're registered residents already. And, unlike you, we don't have to state any kind of affiliation to a party, when we get registered, since elections are supposed to be secret. It isn't the authorities' business to know, which candidate or party we vote. All German citizens aged 18+ can vote. Even prisoners can vote, because they're still citizens with almost all rights, unless they committed treason or any other crime against the Federal Republic.

The moment we're registered, we'll automatically get notified by postcard, whenever there's an election. We'll know where to go and when the polling stations are open. We can also use that postcard to apply for vote by mail and even the postage is paid for in advance. We don't have to give any reasons, we just apply. As far as I know, you have the right to vote by mail since the end of the Civil War - much longer than we have it. Nobody in Germany ever had any doubts about this right as such, and nobody ever claimed, that these votes could be rigged. Since there are also EU elections all four years, EU citizens living in Germany can vote and will be notified by mail. We gave up a bit of individual freedom in order to be able to vote and not be forgotten.

I know, that there are many differences between the USA and Germany, and that it would be impossible - or at least very difficult - to go about it the way we do it. Your definition of individual rights is different. I also know, that people don't like to be lectured by foreigners, be it in the USA or in Germany. All I want is, that you see how it could be done, if you're looking for a way to make sure, that everybody can vote. We tried to learn from history, and although I don't know, if we did it successfully in each aspect, we never had a democracy the way we have now. We don't want anything else but this democracy and we highly value it. The USA and the Western allies brought it to us, or, more exactly, they brought it back to us, after the Weimar Republic had failed and the nazis ceized power. Your democracy was a promise to us and the free world. Please, keep that in mind.

[CharlesReece-nrwr]

As a non americans we don't want Trump to leave. The world is masking up and laughing at America. This Trump fellow should have never been left off the leash, you knew that and still let it happen. You got him and have done nothing about him; you deserve exactly what you are getting!!!
Once this guy self crowns himself like Napoleon; the fun really begins! Well for the rest of us and all the rich, white and privileged in America.

[andrew]

He will tape himself onto his Oval Office desk if needed, whilst yelling "fake results!"

[JamesMurphy]

If he doesn’t accept the result, drag him out of the WH by his wig

[djohn]

1:00 "This is the way losers talk" That said it all.

[jsnagraable]

How is this not causing mass panic among the American population? I’m Canadian and I’m VERY worried about this possibility.

[bitwhys]

Ignore it. It doesn't matter if he accepts it. What matters is whether the military does and they will.

[derickshalo]

The really scary part, is him trying to bunker down in the White House, after losing the presidential election. He has, and shows, dictatorial tendencies. Tendencies that flat out refute, and disregard, decisions taken by established institutions. The interview, with Chris Wallace, should jolt us all out from our collective numbness.
