that's just Trump continuing to be Trump Skittles Nov 2020 #9
So...his concession is only a formality Thekaspervote Nov 2020 #10
There's no legal requirement for conceding. It's only a courtesy, and we know he's not courteous! CaliforniaPeggy Nov 2020 #11
Did you mean to say 270 electoral votes are reached, the party's over? nt dware Nov 2020 #26

I'm sorry but the post I replied to says 271 electoral votes. dware Nov 2020 #33

Carry on like nothing is going on. They'll look up and realize you're not fazed by their antics.

It's not a big deal.

When 270 electoral votes are reached, the party's over.

Have a great night and, hopefully, by tomorrow, we'll have a President Elect Joe Biden and we can finally see the end of this tunnel of a national nightmare.

He can also pound his tiny fists on the floor and howl and hold his breath until he turns more orange. He's still the loser.

He will probably even delay it a bit to give Trump time to do the right thing.
And I am guessing he won't say anything until all or the networks have called it. Again, that is just the kind of guy he is.

It won't change the outcome. You'll still have lost, and not conceding will not change that.

No doubt he thinks he can stop the moving train by refusing to concede. Wait'll it rolls over him and leaves tracks across his back. Such a classless asshole.
