https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/lindsey-graham-if-we-accept-these-election-results-youd-never-have-a-republican-president-forever/Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned on Sunday that there will never be another Republican president if the current 2020 elections results are allowed to stand.
Graham made the remarks on Fox News after multiple news networks called the election for President-elect Joe Biden.
Number one, this is a contested election and the media doesnt decide who becomes president, Graham complained. If they did, you would never have a Republican president forever. So, were discounting them.

If we dont challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again, he asserted. President Trump should not concede.
More at link, including a claim that 15 dead people supposedly voted in PA. Like that will change the results...

Shame on Lindsay for going along with this!
PS - If repukes lives with integrity, this would not be an issue. Remember how hard they dug for any shred of impropriety on Obama and his family and Joe and his family while they were in office for eight years, plus the time leading up to the 1st election in 2008? They came up EMPTY.

(14,852 posts)The Nazis did the same in Germany.
Then freedom of expression was made illegal, if it criticized Hitler and the Nazi party.
And who was among the groups in support of the Nazis? The wealthy industrialists who were terrified of communism.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Repukes see government "service" as a way to fill their pockets. They do not understand what serving their country means.
So they lie and twist things around, just as the Nazis did.
I cannot wait to see them all prosecuted, given maximum sentences, and for all their assets to be seized for how they bilked our country!

Windy City Charlie
(1,178 posts)And the irony of that? How do they let their supporters know the media lies? By going to the media! The very same media that they claim lies.
Buckeye_Democrat
(14,852 posts)... for years.
If an article is favorable for them, they loudly point to it while saying something like, "And that's from the liberal New York Times which normally lies about us!"
They aren't good with facts at all, generally always picking whatever they WANT to believe.
I can imagine this country placing the Earth back at the center of the Universe again, if their influence continues to grow, like during the religious Dark Ages.

captain queeg
(10,073 posts)Goes along with when he said if the Rs elect trump it will be the end of the party, and theyll deserve it. I wonder if the truths about these lowlifes will start coming out now?
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)This goes along with what chumputin said about if people are allowed to vote, the country would never win another election.
So difficult to wrap my head around the fact that we have a known Russian asset, who has single-handedly MURDERED 230K+ Americans, on American soil, who says shit like this, running for president.

They do not realize how much they are embarrassing themselves and their party by making such statements, IMO.

(5,802 posts)The majority of Americans are sick of how Repukes have mismanaged and looted this nation.
That's why, in order to attempt to stay viable, the GOP uses every tactic possible to cheat and suppress votes.
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)That's all they've got. I have never once read or seen that chumputin had ANY "plan" to fix anything or help any group of Americans, except the 1%, so WTH would the other 99% vote for them?

(57,073 posts)Right out of the Rusian playbook. Get kompromat and weild it to strong arm people to bend to your will.
Thing is, if repukes lived with integrity, there would be nothing to hold over their heads this way.
Remember how deeply and frantically they dug for dirt on Obama and Biden and their families? All they could come up with was a tan suit that lookd spectacular on Obaa.

This is the kind of deception the republican party has become
It depends on state law how that is handled. It definitely wouldn't be fraud. Fraud is what the scum are try to present it as

(4,168 posts)That the media is saying Biden won. Um, they're saying it because they're reporting the results. Do they think it rains because the weatherman says it is?

(61,687 posts)He couldn't possibly want the popular vote to determine outcome. My guess is he wants legislatures to decide. Or giving only one vote per household. Godly only knows how bad the change he wants could be.

SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Get heavy kompromat on everyone and use it to strong arm people. I have no proof, but I think it's a pretty good guess that chump ordered Linsay to say this.
Think is, if they lived with integrity, there would be nothing to hod over their heads.
