Chris Wallace did a good job. I was worried. And he looked like he was shook, so i think he got what was coming.

Pick your odds for the inside reports from Trump Tower on election night

A) Complete bubble that violently bursts, everyone shocked, all true believers and Kool-Aid drinkers

B) Everyone knows except Donald and maybe one or two of the more sychophantic staffers, they all have to coddle and reassure him as the results come in, and the night becomes more and more terrifying as he realizes that something is wrong and becomes surlier and more colicky until full on shouting meltdown as he realizes what's happened

B

My apologies for this, but:

Glenn Beck ‏@glennbeck 29m29 minutes ago
When trump says he respect women, does that include him saying 'such a nasty women' in a presidential debate?

This fucking election.

Lol CNN guy just called Trump's performance Alec Baldwin like.

 

[jbug617]

Gloria Allred just released a statement

 

[Roland_Gunner]

For anyone who thinks this refusal to accept Clinton's victory isn't huge, this is the first line in the AP summary of the debate:

"LAS VEGAS — Threatening to upend a basic pillar of American democracy, ..."

That's what is going to be printed in every small newspaper in the country tomorrow.

If you told me some years ago (or hell, earlier this year. Or a few months ago, even) that I'd actually approve of something Beck said, I'd think you crazy.

What a goddamn world we live in.

 

[RustyNails]

guys can we just now take a moment to reflect that Hillary has won the presidency and we as a country nominated the first black president and first female president back to back and both were Democrats?



I mean really let this sink in how incredible this all is.

I'm already thinking about 2020. Rubio must not win Florida's US senate.

 

[Amir0x]

Gloria Allred just released a statement

yes another lost news cycle for Trump hahaha

 

[Bowdz]

I'm already thinking about 2020. Rubio must not win Florida's US senate.

Yep. I want to make sure the GOP bench is utterly decimated this cycle.

 

[Loxley]

Legitimate question - are we able to swear in a new President if the losing candidate doesn't concede? Like, could Trump hold up the whole process? I know he has the right to ask for a recount, but can it go farther than that?

I've got some bad news for you..

Trump could file a lawsuit like Bush v Gore but once the Supreme Court laughs him out of the building it doesn't matter. This is all about the principle that both parties respect the outcome of an election and at least appear to come together for the country.

 

[jiggle]

omg. Checking the shop to buy some more shirts and I saw this tote bag



Love that lol

Ohh that's a good one
Right up there with these

 

[sangreal]

lol what's with all the jesus signs behind the cnn panel?

 

[Teggy]

Fuck off Hugh Hewitt.

Fuck off Hewitt.

14 out of 15 rounds smh

Yup. We can breathe easy now. This election is officially over.

 

[Trouble]

Fuck off Hugh Hewitt.

Fuck off Hewitt.

What did he say?

 

[User 463088]

Hugh Hewitt is a literal idiot. Like. Literally.

Electoral College votes and certifies so yes.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Hugh Hewitt is a dumb, dumb man with a large vocabulary.

Of course we can, it's just a nicety.

 

[jonjonaug]

Hewitt: "Trump didn't say this, but I wanted to hear him say this, so that's what I heard"

Hey PoliGAF; you're the puppet.

no, you're the puppet

[Tubie]

Ohh that's a good one
Right up there with these

I'm drinking right out of one of those right now.

 

[Diablos]

This is why I'm scared. Trump is legit fear mongering people into thinking he's powerful enough to challenge his loss and turn it into a win, delegitimizing the importance of voting.

Kellyanne Conway is leaving a big "if" for accepting a loss which is basically going to be rooted in alt right conspiracy theories about apparent voter fraud on Election Day.

I feel sick.

Yes. Concession is merely etiquette and tradition, not a requirement.

 

[Veitsev]

Fuck off Hugh Hewitt.

[shiba5]

So how many GOP leaders will condemn Trump's threat to not concede?

I'm going with zero. I think it's a safe bet.

Five on A. A lot of his base is unhinged enough to believe he can win and if doesn't it's because the election is rigged. I don't expect any violence more like Romney tears 2.0 with some extra fireworks.

 

[hom3land]

I can't believe trump thinks abortions can happen in the 9th month.. Or a day before scheduled delivery date

 

[Cyanity]

Ok Poligaf, do we think that Hillary is gonna win Florida hard enough to unseat Rubio? I do.

 

[Boke1879]

So how many GOP leaders will condemn Trump's threat to not concede?

I'm going with zero. I think it's a safe bet.

Lindsay Graham just did. I think Kasich said something earlier today about the whole thing.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Sent the Hillary Camp some money. They earned it tonight.

 

[Suikoguy]

I can, viability is the current Supreme Court ruling, and it's a fair one.

Ok Poligaf, do we think that Hillary is gonna win Florida hard enough to unseat Rubio? I do.

Odds certainly just went up

 

[Loxley]

Alright, that's what I figured, I guess I just never had to think about it before Trump came along.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Hey PoliGAF; you're the puppet.

No puppets. We're Jon Lovetts. Straight shooters, respected on all sides.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Lindsay Graham's statement is what you'd hope to hear from the GOP leadership but you won't. Graham's hatred for Trump is so well documented, though. I want to see a few more GOP candidates break from Trump but the way he lashed out last time, I don't think we'll see much more than a few long time NeverTrumps speaking out.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Legitimate question - are we able to swear in a new President if the losing candidate doesn't concede? Like, could Trump hold up the whole process? I know he has the right to ask for a recount, but can it go farther than that?

Yes.

The concession is purely a tradition, there is no legal requirement for the losing candidate to accept the results.

In fact he can only demand recounts in states where the margin is below a certain threshold, as far as I know. I doubt Hillary's winning margin is low enough in enough states to keep us waiting on the overall result. But I guess he could ask anyway? He just wouldn't have much grounds to do so.

 

[Slacker]

Prepare to be wrong. There will be widespread condemnation.

Hugh is the worst. Hes okay for the primary but not general.

Can't wait for SNL.

Chris Wallace was a boss

 

[Crocodile]

What did he say?

Bullshit as usual

 

[Black Mamba]

someone on CNN just mentioned the 100 GOP Senate candidates have to answer for the rigged thing.

Nope. Not in Cali. We have no GOP candidate, just 2 Dems!

Quality television.

These guys need to watch Mythbusters

Kayleigh just called "context" two words, lol.

 

[shiba5]

Lindsay Graham just did. I think Kasich said something earlier today about the whole thing.

Those two have been critical the whole time. I want Ryan or McConnell to respond.
(Yes, I realize I'm moving the goalposts.)
