I wish reporters would stop asking trump if he'll accept the results of the election

It encourages him to think it’s his choice. They should all be asking him what his plans are when he’s voted out of office. Don’t even give him a chance to talk about contesting the results.

Just ignore the SOB, as they should have done when he was taking the escalator ride (or should we call it a de-escalator, seeing as he was going down).

They want ratings and horse race shit from now until they can shift to another mass shooting story or scandal...

The press is flaccid and worthless to anyone seeking truth these days. They are inept or uncaring...neither one reflects well on them as a whole.

The Constitutionally prescribed processes will occur. And 8:00 pm on Election night is not a deadline. Not even all the polls are closed at that time.
