Democrat Pelosi said it was "very sad" the president of the United States was even raising this question. "What would our founders think?" she asked.She reminded Trump the U.S. is not North Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia or other countries with strongman leaders he openly admires. Longtime Sen.

And I think this year will be no exception."

Remember Hillary Clinton telling Joe Biden not to concede 'under any circumstances' if Donald Trump wins on election night? But tell us again how is President Trump the one who is a threat to the 'peaceful transfer of power'?

They haven't acknowledge the results of the last election and have tried every dirty trick to overturn it. They have been caught cheating at the DNC. They have threatened riots etc if they don't get their way...but Trump.

And the last time McConnell didn't flip flop on an issue was somewhere in the late 1500's.

“Joe Biden should not concede the election if he loses” - Hillary Clinton

How do they know biden is going to win 🤔

He did it lol. That’s Winning! Trump has finally forced the Democrats to conceded the election 4 years late.. Hahaha. This is a good one What a day.

Ok, listen here losers. When the votes are tallied and if Joe Biden wins, Trump will leave. If he doesn't, he gets arrested for trespassing on federal property. That's how it works. If Trump wins we get to enjoy you hysterical children lose your minds for 4 more years
