There is no doubt Trump will be the first President to refuse to concede defeat. He will have to be forced out of the WH under threat of force. There will be no more peaceful transitions of power because of Trump!. “In our campaigns,” the then-sitting vice president told Congress, “no matter how hard they may be, no matter how close the election may turn out to be, those who lose accept the verdict and support those who win.” In 1981, Ronald Reagan referred to the “orderly transfer of authority” in the U.S. as “nothing less than a miracle.” ...... When running for office in 2016, he refused to commit to accepting the result of the presidential election. ................ Consider this scenario: On the morning of November 3, 2020, it becomes clear that Trump has lost both the electoral college and the popular vote to the Democratic candidate, whoever they may be. The president, however, rather than calling his Democratic opponent to concede, holds a rally with his supporters at which he declares himself the winner, tells the crowd “ what you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening,” slams the “ fake news” media, and claims “ millions and millions” of people voted illegally for the Democrats. He denounces a “ deep state” coup and warns of “ violence.” Do you really think this isn’t possible? That this potential scenario shouldn’t make us all very afraid? This is a man, after all, who point-blank refused to accept that he lost the popular vote when he won the presidency in 2016 — so why should we assume that he would accept the result of an election that he loses? .......... theintercept.com
