Do you think Donald Trump will honor the election results?

☝

He threatens everyone who does not vote for him when he refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of our free and fair elections. Pledging to do so has never removed the legal right to demand a recount form any candidate, yet he refuses to do so. His own campaign manager, running mate and party officials have challenged his baseless attacks on the sanctity of our electoral process. Do you not realize that you would have far more credibility if you actually treated people's concerns about him as valid instead of getting your hackles raised and feeling persecuted about every little bit of criticism levied against him? He is a deeply flawed person and a deeply flawed candidate. You can certainly still vote for him and you can even make the case that he has pros that outweigh his cons. But pretending those cons are fabricated or are mere trifles makes you appear naively sycophantic at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. Instead of trying to squeeze his unwieldy awfulness into the narrative you wish were true, maybe you should focus on your primary process and make a sincere effort to find and draft an electable candidate next time around who can be reasonably expected to implement those ideas you claim to support which aren't terrible on their face.

@Auberon89: I am never interested in credibility ... that is another of those elite things I find distasteful.

Okay, so I am naive, dishonest ... have a problem with my intellect ... support terrible ideas ... trifling, insulting and flawed?

Did I get them all?

Yep, I am good with all that!

Lol ... you are just trying to get on my good side with all the compliments!

Am sure you are glad I am not your neighbor or even an acquaintance.

All that fun aside ... so you were tragically insulted by Trump saying "he will look at the election when it happens"?

Am so glad I am much less sensitive

Claiming you were less sensitive would have been more effective if you hadn't whined about all the perceived nasty things I've said about you. I'm actually showing you more respect than I've seen you show others who disagree with you. Faux pleasantries are not a substitute for comprehending the positions of others and addressing them substantively. Although I suppose that becomes a pointless exercise if one of us feels like the concept of being credible in word and deed is some sort of cultural quirk of snooty liberal elites.

He thinks he is Mussolini, or something.

@JoyfulSilence: He doesn't even come CLOSE to Il Duce! 😜

I confess I do not know much about Mussolini.

I wish I had never heard of Trump.
