Allies of President Donald Trump expressed support Sunday for his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and advanced his points sowing doubt in the reliability of this year's election.
"What the president was saying is that he is not going to concede in advance, especially when you have so many states changing the rules at the very last minute for mail-in balloting," Cotton continued. "The premise of the question you just played me is the president's going to lose. I don't think the president is going to lose. I think the president is going to win."
"I don't know that he is publicly undermining confidence as much as he is stating the facts," Meadows said on “Face the Nation.“ "We've got states that are actually doing things you would qualify as a scam when you start to look at allowing mail-in ballots to come in seven, nine days after Nov. 3, and changing judges that actually are not legislators. I think that is a real problem. You can call it what you will, but what you can call it is unusual and unique.
The centrist Democrat told Tapper that members of the Senate should be "absolutely horrified at even the thought" of Trump going against the will of the people.
And rightfully so...President Trump is a man of his word when it comes to following the Constitution, one of two of the most important documents in the world.
Says Tom Cotten as he hangs out in the lower decks of the Trumptanic.
republicans cant get the date right moscow mitch says 1792 and his stooge says 1796 I looked it up it 1789 Morons very busy time in our history. the electoral college was invented due to the revolution California and Texas werent even states the whole big or small state is a lie
Isn't he the author of the 47-Betrayal Letter siding with the High Muslim Cleric Iran's Ayatollah? I thought the Right says all Muslims are terrorists.
VoteTomCottonOutNow
Hahaha...
I think Trump is more honest then his enemies in Washington D.C. especially the Democrats handling the election even me I don’t trust them with my ballot.
...yo...preach. factsnotfeelings
Jerk
Cotton, you are a fool to believe that. Trump is going to destroy this country if he remains in office. And you will be among those who will be blamed for that!
Please find the grownups in the room.
What little weasel ; nasty little man
In your. Wildest dreams
Pathetic lack-of-talent political hack. If he’s a rising star, the Republican Party doesn’t have much hope.
Tom Cotton is a communist dictator in-waiting. vote them all out
The fact that this is even an item of discussion is reason enough to throw these people out of office.
We will see in November
If the election is compromised, the Courts will settle it.
When was peaceful transfer of power a “card” to play during an election? Bizarrely militant, galling hawkish, and stupid.
It's people like you Tom, that makes this little old lady grateful to live in Canada !
Now stop supporting voter suppression, diminishing voter rights and GOP election ratf*cking
Mr cotton who are you to determine that Trump will get second term? Unless you too are messing in the election? Like Russia! We need to vote you out Cotton!
It’s like a really competitive race amongst GOP Senators to see who can be the biggest asshole.
Fuck what that slack jaw pencil neck hick TomCottonAR has to say!!!
Democrats get mad when you tell them the truth !!!!! MAGA
They are confident that Trump is going to win. Meanwhile, Democrats believe Biden is going to win. This is all not news btw.
This man with the most slaveholder-ish name is always on brand.
You are not an American.
While he may not believe the current polls, trump is further behind Biden than he was Clinton 2016. This includes several of the swing states trump took by very small margins. Cotton might want to keep his calendar open for the change 1/20/2021. If he is still in the senate.
Dream on.
This guy is legit wanting to be the emperor of this country. If Trump loses he will be out there taking away the evangelical vote from Cruz and giving Trumpers red meat.
He is going to have a second term so what’s your response now? SenTomCotton
as far as I am concerned Trump has finished his term now. period. no second try at destroying the country. we need our democracy, not some malignant autocracy which is what he offers. no thanks. if he wants to play dictator let him go to his BFFs overseas.
Because his 2nd term starts when he doesn't like all the votes for Biden.
Why not in the year 2020
SenTomCotton 👅
I think the Dems should worry about winning first
Cotton is a fool
Mark twain said it best 1 term in office, the next in jail.
Hmmm. That quote you offer from Cotton doesn’t really match the scare-mongering headline.
can I vote now? the gop has got to. they are no longer defending the Constitution
Oh Tom, you're so clever, why don't you answer the more pressing question about about what he'll do if he loses this election. Surely someone at the WH can write something for you to parrot...
This dude...I’m embarrassed to call him a veteran
Arkansas. Flush.
👊
Isn’t this one up for re-election too?
This guy will be stunned when he watches his career dissolve. He’s a fool & should never gamble or invest. Lacks the savvy to recognize a con artist. B
Cheaters gonna cheat.
He thinks he is clever...
All of these Trump supporters have turned their back on the constitution. If America still means anything to anybody we must do the right thing and expose these non-Patriots & vote them out office. VOTE BLUE AMERICA!
What are you talking about, he DID commit to it. Trump will absolutely surrender his power in January of 2025
TFW you make the decision to offer a cutesy response to a grave Constitutional concern
nytimes y’all got an op-ed in the works or...?
This guy is so far to the right that the ghost of Joe McCarthy can't even see him.
Tom Cotton🤔what a POS he turned out to be!
TomCottonAR is despicable! VoteBlueDownBallot VoteEarly VoteInPerson VoteOrDie VoteBlue2020 VoteBlueToSaveOurDemocracy
Bwhaaaaaa
This dood is indistinguishable from a soggy sandwich
TomCottonAR is wrong. A second term of Trump will lead to the demise of democracy as we know it. He will stay in power until he dies and leave the throne to Ivanka. We will be living under a 21st century fascist dictator. Senator Cotton will be among those held accountable.
Cotton is as big a racist as Trump
You are an ambitious young man who employs the wrong tactics to climb the work and social ladder. You have an uncanny knack of putting peoples' backs up.
This man is disgusting
7.2 million cases, 209,000 dead of TrumpVirus, over 8% unemployment, Russian bounties on US soldiers. America needs leadership not lies. FailedPresident PutinPuppet VoteOutTheGOP GOPHasNoPlan TrumpsAmerica
Crazy
Second term will be spent in jail
TomCottonAR is on the delusional train. GOP along with realDonaldTrump will be annihilated on Election Day, 37 days.
There wonvt be a United Ststes in 2025 if Trump re-elected TomCottonAR . And you already know it.
By supporting a fool like trump you have forfeited any decency or integrity. He is a danger to our democracy and clearly is practicing the election antics of his mentor Putin. You and any who enable him are complicit in his destruction of our democracy. Go away!
You are quite mistaken! Trump isn’t getting a 2nd term! He has lost all support From citizens who have common sense, read, are educated and know a buffoon when they see one! All the supporters he has left, are white supremacists, racists, rednecks, religious cults and bigots.
What a sense of humor TomCottonAR has! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 BidenHarrisLandslide2020
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Doesn't he have a confederate reenactment to attend?
Same man who defended slavery!
I truly cannot stand the vile horseshit that comes out of these GOP cult members mouths.
I’m ashamed he represents Arkansas. He does not represent my views
Funny 🤡
Isn’t he special
Transferring it to Tom Cotton, he surely means.
Let’s just cancel the election!! Let’s start celebrating!! Great senator from AR has declared, we have a president for next term. We love the senator so much, we will go with what he says! CNNPolitics
Cotton is a fancy joke.
Why would the president commit to a 'peaceful' trasferring of power? Did he loose the election?
Tom Cotton is reprehensible
Where's the hood ?
This same man said on CNN abortion’s are happening late term and even after a child is born. Explain that last part to me. How do you have an abortion after a child is born?
I think Tom Cotton crystal ball is broken. In fact I'm confident it lost its luster and it's on the blink!
What an a$$ Tom cotton has become.
HA! No.
Evil REPUBLICANS
just reading the headline first thought was what a dumb shit
Tom Cotton the Coward.
Shhh, he will be shocked when the new sheriff shows up on January 20, 2021!!!
How soon can we get this fool out ?
Defining realDonaldTrump first term: UAE/Israeli Peace accord; Bosnia Peace accord; US embassy in Jerusalem; SCOTUS; Ending Iraq war; surviving Obama coup attempt of Trump presidency; economic recoverY Pre-COVID; economic recovery Post-COVID; and much more.
Nice try Senator Cotton R-Greenland
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL INTERVIEWING THIS MORON? WHY?
Celtic_Crab LOL, love how Senator Cotton's comments trigger hysterical leftist morons here on Titter.
Has Cotton EVER met Trump?
Slave owner
TomCottonAR sees LindseyGrahamSC’s star falling so begins perfecting his golf swing.
Not!
🤬I could say something,but I will zip it 🤐 SAMFHW
TomCottonAR does not deserve to represent the great state of Arkansas. He should resign
TomCotton is one of the upper echelon of R’s that must go when Trump goes.
2nd terms are not guaranteed. They are earned. And when the majority of the American people say one term is enough, thank you, you go home.
Ladies and gentlemen, super arrogant statement of the decade.
I watched this moron on State of the Union with Tapper this morning lying through his teeth. What makes you think this bull he's promulgating on Politic is any different.
He is a horrible human
Does anyone actually believe that trump won’t leave if not re-elected? This is all media hyped up bull 💩.
what a chickenshit answer
We the people will ensure the transfer is done January 20, 2021.
True on the 1st para... amend 2nd to read “2021 after he serves his 1st term”!
Right but TomCottonAR is an unabashed authoritarian apologist who has wet dreams about facilitating a Christofascist regime in the United States, so this is hardly surprising, Politico.
This is utter nonsense. The election is only 45 days away and it the voters who will vote and be counted as votes. If you're not a citizen, you should not be allowed to vote.
Tom Cotton. Vote this bastard out. Yalll are absolutely voting against your own interests when you vote for the Libertarian/GOP.
Oh fck him.
What would be considered 'refusal'..? Spying on Biden's campaign? Trying to link Biden with falseful wrongdoing as Obama tried with Trump..?
TomCottonAR thinks he’s so superior. VoteOutEveryRepublican
This guy. I loathe this guy.
SenTomCotton 🤫pass the drugs
🤣👍🏻 Great job TomCottonAR
The only positive things I can say about my Senators is at least they’re not Tom Cotton.
B.S. !
No...2028.
Smart ass
2025 TomCottonAR Will realDonaldTrump, as you know, acknowledge losing? Will you support Trump fighting thru the courts? You know what happens on 1/20/2021 12:00:01 on that day. Do have any knowledge of what senatemajldr said following the death of Scalia?
Oh, haha, I see what Cotton did there.
Just like the Democrats who refused to have Trump be their president . I recall : boycotts of inauguration, “not my president” , the resistance. THAT, is NOT a peaceful transfer.
Wow, such a cute answer to a serious question! Maybe Cotton could become a standup comic after Nov 3rd! Trump could be his straight man!
