He should have been loudly condemned for this action. It is what takes place in Banana Republics and dictatorships. It was glossed over when he should have been denounced as unfit for the office. He used the same tactics to blackmail the Republicans to support him when he threatened that if they didn't support him that he would run as an independent. The Republicans, who don't have an ounce of true patriotism couldn't retract their opposition to him fast enough. This has been his MO throughout his filthy career when he stiffed anyone who did business with him. It was so flagrant that the American banks refused to do business with the crook. The Russians were glad to use him to launder the money that the plundered from the Russian citizens. The greatest gift that he can give to America is his resignation and imprisonment.

Won't future generations view these debate videos and wonder at the ignorance of his voters? Sorry, but he was SO obviously...what he showed himself to be during the debates. I actually know people who think the press is thwarting him and excuse his obese torso as due to the bullet proof vest he supposedly ALWAYS wears in public.

to create a big publicity stunt around the claim that the election was stolen. That was Plan A. Unfortunately Plan B was for him to win.
