— a stark contrast with other close election winners did, including John F. Kennedy in 1960. Changes to the party system were probably part of the reason that Bush’s fate looked different from that of Hayes, whose factional rivals in his own party ensured he kept his one-term promise in 1880. Bush faced no such challenge in 2004, though it’s impossible to know whether that would have been different had the nation not been in what was then a fairly new war.
Elections matter and if you want to establish a mandate to govern, it’s better to have electoral legitimacy. But the interpretation of election results is also a matter of rhetoric, media narratives and political context. Whoever is in office on Jan. 20 will have some opportunities to shape what people think the election meant, and what it means for governing.

BREAKING NEWS.... The only piece of paper that in·crim·i·nates Hunter Biden mysteriously get's lost in the mail. Tucker Carlson said he forgot to make a photo-copy and Trump said the same. I guess if they new how to work a printer, they would be able to put Hunter in jail. WOW!
GOP has an agenda? That’s news.
Both have agendas that will destroy the USA.
According to the photo, it appears to me that they have already had a man date
Well I would never vote for this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I'm sure he won't either Oops....I voted and hit the wrong one can I change it lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😴😴😴😴😴😴😴He's a mess literally
A very good chance if Biden can win decisively and carry the down ballot Dems with him!
At this point I don’t know what to say. Masks? Things are getting worse! Jobs are lost. Businesses are closing. Churches are showing low attendance. Office buildings are empty because we are all working from home. Restaurants? Broadway? Cruise Industry? Will we recover?
Nothing will change. Nothing.
What would be fun if they bring an eviction notice and serve it to trump behind the Resolute desk
Dear TheDemocrats , The GOP is willing and ready to do anything, Are you? Enough with this weak stuff. Politics is politics. If you win, that is a mandate and start executing.
Mandates are a big steaming pile of horse manure. Whoever controls the Senate will have a huge advantage in enacting their agenda - mandates be damned.
This is all bullshit. This is America. A democratic republic not an authoritarian or dictatorship regime. We have a constitution, an election and a deadline for a sitting president to leave office upon losing. So screw “peaceful” this or that. If he loses & won’t leave: REMOVEHIM
At this point, I don't think it even matters who actually wins. Both sides will claim they won. The public will only believe who they want to believe. The Congress or the Supreme Court will settle it, and whoever loses will cry foul. The next day, we'll get distracted again.
What trump is really worth ? This Crazy Man is Disaster to Happen .
