Gore's situation isn't remotely comparable.
Hillary didn’t throw a baby fit!

Gore's situation isn't remotely comparable.
That was dumb of her.
Almost nothing will ever be, each is unique. And pretending that it isn't "remotely" comparable is absurd. Of course it is. He was battling in courts, so is Trump, he waited until the courts ended all pathways to concede, so will Trump.
That's pretty comparable, even if the reasons are not the same.
Yet it was what happened. Personally I think if the roles were reversed your tune would change.

No, it isn't. Gore was battling to get an allowable recount completed. His mistake was making it selective - but he wasn't yelling "massive voter fraud" every day.
And Trump, btw, has yelled "massive voter fraud" every day - even for months BEFORE the election. Oh, and he yelled in 2016, also - even though he won. Because his ego felt bruised by the popular vote tally.
Gore was also looking at a difference of 527 votes in 1 state. Trump would have to overturn multiple states - all of which he is trailing by over 10,000 votes (minimum) at the moment.
So, no - it is not remotely comparable.
It is "remotely" comparable, and I showed exactly how it is. As I said, we're comparing apples to apples here, that the court cases were for different reasons notwithstanding the reality is Trump will concede once the last pathway is closed. It probably will be relatively soon if all the "there is no evidence" screams are right.
I think Al Gore had a legit argument over 1 State and 500 votes, it was a very very different thing. The Republicans called him all kinds of UnAmerican, and he conceded once it was over then attended the inauguration.
Are you arguing that if Hillary advised Biden to do it, that makes it okay? I condemn Hillary for saying that it was stupid and irresponsible.
I do not think almost 50,000 votes is a low number, Trump certainly did not consider it a low number when he won Pennsylvania by less. Trump needs to concede it is very clear he lost. It is four States, the largest of them is PA where Biden won by 50,000. How in the world is there 50,000 worth of fraud?
If he wants his legal challenges, then he should give a speech assuring the people that if he lost he will concede.
It is clear to me that Trump is testing to see if he can get away with pulling a Putin. He will stay if he can regardless of the express will of the American people. I love America and it upsets me to see us this close to losing Democracy and people like you sitting by and watching it happen.
I just condemned her...
Very remote.
I wish he would say that, like Al Gore did.
Easy as pie now... lol.
Personally, I don't think that what is happening is outside the process provided in the Constitution. I didn't think it was in FL with Gore either. This is an important position with many folks willing to "help", it is important that we go through stuff like this every once in a while to ensure folks that the votes are relatively accurate even if there are some irregularities.
Even Trump is smart enough to see that these lawsuits are not enough to overturn the vote. He has not even bothered to present any coherent argument leading to that outcome.
Here is my real issue, I believe Trump is playing toward an endgame that plays out the clock with the lawsuits, resulting in votes not being certified by the deadline, thereby throwing it to the House of Representatives and getting himself appointed president despite having lost the popular vote. I would not have been concerned in a different time, but I have seen so many Republicans allow Trump to get away with so much, I have no doubt they will allow this... It would be the end of our Democracy to allow Trump to remain even though he was not elected.
Does that possibility not concern you?
The ROLLS WERE REVERSED, and she did not play this game.
She conceded and attended the inauguration.
Because she lost. Now, how do you know she was not throwing baby fits wandering around in the woods?
Right, and now Trump* has LOST
Still no answer Jarod. And as a supposed lawyer you should know who calls the Presidency. It is not the media. Do you know?
I'm more of the belief that he's doing this to get money to pay back campaign debt.
