Illegitimate ?

Can't they see?

How do they think they can govern when their opponent got 5 million more popular votes and won the electoral vote also?

Do they really want to resort to these types of shenanigans? They may want to think twice before they do anything foolish?

We understand their desire to stay in power but the people will not be denied their vote.

2. All good questions, but

Trump is terrified of leaving the security of the White House. And he would love to overrule the vote of the people, cause massive protests that he can then use to justify calling out the military.

He would love that kind of unrest and chaos. Chaos and cruelty are his two favorite things!

3. I can sort of understand Trump's actions because being a sore loser is part of

his personality and we expected him to throw this tantrum. I am, however, surprised by Congressional Republincans. They know these claims are baseless, but they still back Trump. They are putting party over country. If they cared about the people they represent, they would be making this transition easier instead of throwing up roadblocks.

4. It's all a bunch of bullshit

They're throwing up a shitstorm to rake down a few more million in idiot magat donations. If dim magats had any smarts at all, they'd be tripping over themselves to run the trumps out on a rail

5. Trump's entire "business" career was based

on bullying, suing people, not paying contractors, and lying about everything. So he's simply behaving as he always has.
