Woodward: Trump rooting for 'quadruple train wreck on Nov. 3'

Journalist Bob Woodward on Thursday said that President Trump declining to engage in a peaceful transition of power if he loses the election would be "putting a dagger in the Constitution," adding that he thinks that the president is "almost wishing for a quadruple train wreck on Nov. 3" in regards to mail-in voting.

"We have a president who has forsaken his basic duty to protect the country, to tell the truth and organize and plan, have some theory of the case what is he going to do as president," Woodward said in an appearance on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House."

"Time and time again we know, and I've got more endless examples of this, of him making decisions on impulse, tweeting, driving people crazy who work for him and then they leave or he fires them by tweet and he says the cruelest things."

"I think the president in all of the things he's doing here has forsaken a larger duty which is a moral duty to do what's best for the country," he added. "This is a moral failure and a leadership failure. This idea about the election he's predicting and almost wishing for a quadruple train wreck on Nov. 3"

He lacks a conscience and empathy. The American people put a sociopath in the WH.

Why doesn't Bob Woodward (and the rest of them) just STFU? They're playing into his hands when they keep bringing it up.

This is not going to happen, but Chump is playing a game, trying to sow doubt into the minds of voters. Whenever the journalists talk about it they're just putting a megaphone on Chump's worst brain-fart.

Have any GOP members of our legislative body done the same?

If it weren't for the serious business of running the country, Nancy Pelosi could potentially have impeachment hearings for eternity. This includes Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. Roberts will slide over to the "good guys" sometimes, but not often enough.
