Biden: 'I guarantee' Trump will challenge legitimacy of election if GOP loses
The Hill ^ | 11/06/2018 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 11/06/2018 2:04:54 PM PST by Hadean

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he would be "dumbfounded" if Democrats failed to retake the majority in the House, and expressed certainty that President Trump would question the legitimacy of the results if Republicans falter in Tuesday's midterm elections.

"I guarantee he’ll challenge the legitimacy of the vote," Biden said with a laugh when asked about the possibility after casting his ballot in Delaware. "You know, he’s still looking for that million crowd that was there for his inauguration, for God’s sake," Biden continued. "He’s an interesting guy."

Biden spoke with reporters after he voted on Tuesday.

And still don’t accept the election results from 2016.

There is a significant number who still don’t accept the results from 2000.

At the risk of serious redundancy; this is one of most blitheringly stupid comments ever uttered.

Why you say dat, Joe? Did Trump challenge the results of the last election? I don’t think so. He said he “might”. And that of course triggered that pathetic harridan who ran against him to rail against what she called an “attack on our Democracy”. Meanwhile, it was she and her campaign who authored the idea to subvert Trump’s win. And it was and continues to be the belief of anyone who supported her that Hillary challenging the results of the election are not only legitimate, but an exercise in pure patriotism. And two years later, they somehow still cannot accept the election results.

He outstupided himself. And that ain’t easy. Incidentally, what guarantee is he proposing to provide should Trump NOT challenge the election results this time? Will he....promise to put his bathing suit on when he swims in his backyard pool? Or it just another blast of hot air from one of the greatest living idiots around?

All this is is providing cover for Dems to do it if they go down tonight. Pure projection.

“That’s horrifying.” ... “That is not the way our democracy works. It’s been
around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections; we’ve accepted the
outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of
anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.” ... “And let’s
be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating —
he’s talking down our democracy. And I for one am appalled that somebody who
is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of
position.” — Hillary Clinton, Final Presidential Debate, October 19, 2016

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump’s comment
demonstrated “contempt for the sanctity of our elections. With his ‘wait and
see’ position, he disrespects the voice and votes of the American people.”

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called Trump’s comments
“horrifying” and demanded that he “immediately reverse course and state that
he will accept the results of our free and fair elections.”

The president, campaigning in Miami for Hillary Clinton and Senate candidate
Chris Murphy, said that “when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s
minds about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy.”
... “Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them,” Obama argued.
“Because our democracy depends on people knowing their vote matters.” (October

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he was alarmed by Donald Trump’s
refusal to commit to accepting the election results. “That is a big problem,
Biden said during a visit to a Democratic field office in Manchester, N.H.
“The American public has to stand up, even Republicans. ... This is a threat
to our democratic process...” (October 26, 2016)

“The voters decide who wins and loses, period, end of story, and when a
presidential candidate threatens to ignore our voices and reject the outcome
of this election he is threatening the very idea of America itself and we
cannot stand for that.” — Michelle Obama, October 26, 2016
