https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/rick-santorum-ripped-for-saying-trump-needs-conditions-to-concede-sounds-like-a-hostage-negotiation/Onetime GOP Sen. Rick Santorum argued on CNN on Saturday night that President Donald Trump wont simply concede because he lost the presidential race.
I just want to say that what wearing hearing from the Trump White House is the president is willing to concede if certain conditions are met, Santorum said on CNN hours after the race had been called.
Some said it "looks like a hostage negotiation."
Others pointed out that "the third stage of grief is negotiation."
Others noted that "a concession is not necessary, that Trump will have to leave on Jan 20."
ROCK MEET HARD PLACE!

Realistically, Pence stands no chance of ever becoming President on his own. This would allow him to hold the title for two months.

(8,756 posts)Biden signaled that clearly. He wants to forget past bad blood and move forward. Well see if the GOP takes him up on that, but I doubt it. Biden will get some traction because hes white and a Senatorial institution unto himself, but only a little.
I dont expect anyone from Bidens Administration to touch the Trump family in any way. They will be cast out and whatever legal problems they face, Biden will allow, but not hunt for specifically.
This is going to piss off many on the Left, but its what will happen. Just like Obama not going after W and his people for war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

(8,445 posts)He's just solidifying what an immature, classless oaf he is. I mean, we already knew that, but he can't even bring himself to fake it.
It's really just becoming a game to see how long he'll go, if ever. And the longer he takes, the more immature he looks.

(34,105 posts)here are your conditions. You and your icky, creepy family will be out the door of our house January 20, 2021. Gone. Leave it like you found it. Get your tacky crap out so we can fumigate and remove all traces and memories of you living there. Oh yes. Put the portraits back up you tiny handed, ego driven baby and skedaddle out for your lifetime of being sued and hopefully ending in years of prison. THOSE are your conditions.
IOW, grow the fuck up and try to act like a real man for once in your disgusting life. K?

(89,247 posts)Instead they just need to report that it doesn't matter if Trump concedes or agrees to a transition . He will be gone either way .
We don't need him to say anything or do anything for him to leave.
The american people already made the decision that he will leave . It's up to him how that will happen but the fact he will be gone is already decided.

(6,083 posts)When they have these has been hacks on and include Kasich in that bunch. Is this all the better CNN can do? Or do they get them cheap? Get them the hell off the air. They serve no purpose.

It's amazing that he parlayed that into a life-time TV speaking gig.
The fucking people at MSNBC and then CNN were duped by him, the way Trump dupes the rubes.

CNN always fights for legitimacy, then they parade that fool out and delegitimize themselves again.

(1,737 posts)He lost and we've moved on. As team Biden said, come January, we know how to get rid of trespassers. At the point, I really don't care if he concedes or not.
