Small but growing number of Republicans tell Trump it's over: "Stop golfing and concede"

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

A small, but growing, number of Republicans have a message for President Trump: The election is over and he lost. Now it's time to move on.

The message became louder over the weekend, after a far-fetched press conference by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis on unfounded mass election fraud, which Trump ally and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie called a "national embarrassment."

(snip)

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a popular Republican in a fiercely Democratic state, told the president Sunday to "stop golfing and concede," after Mr. Trump called him a "RINO," or Republican in name only. Hogan and his wife secured critical testing equipment on their own when the federal government failed to come through. Hogan recognized Biden's victory on November 7, the day major networks including CBS News called the race for the president-elect.

"If you had done your job, America's governors wouldn't have been forced to fend for themselves to find tests in the middle of a pandemic, as we successfully did in Maryland," Hogan quote-tweeted the president. "Stop golfing and concede."

Concede and THEN just keep golfing until January 20th. He will cause less damage if he's always on the golf course. A caged, restless Trump trapped in the White House is a dangerous creature.

be sure to notice the onslaught on the environment, civil rights and our alliances with other nations. impeached traitor is continuing his destruction and using his a**hole attacks on the election to cover his attack on the U.S.A.

Really glad that the headlines are posted in LBN, otherwise would miss some stories. Thank you all DUers for your dedicated effort to keep us informed!

Even if they have a race in two years, with our fast moving news cycles and with younger people rising in the ranks he will finally be a "has been."
