I'm kind of confused about why the Trump not conceding thing is such a big deal, someone explain pls

@tiffany Are you talking about how recently he said that he would accept the election results "if he won" or are you talking about something else entirely?

@mrmattimation first one

@tiffany It could be any number of things, honestly. At the first debate he (reluctantly) said that he'd support Hillary Clinton if he lost the race, so that could be one reason people are freaking out about it. Another is that he'd be the first president since Al Gore to challenge the results of the general election, and that was a total nightmare and I don't think anybody wants a repeat of that. It's also worth noting that he's allegedly been making plans to start a new TV venture after the election, which he obviously would not be able to do if he won, so most people are assuming he's counting on losing.

@mrmattimation What can happen if he challenges the results?

@tiffany The thing is that we've never had a nominee do that unless the race was so close that a few votes could have won them the presidency, as was the case with the 2000 election, so I honestly have no clue.

@mrmattimation mental. thank you for your time

@tiffany The thing with this election is that, based on polls alone, Clinton's lead on Trump is large enough that Trump could not reasonably prove that he was screwed out of office.

@mrmattimation I haven't read into the polls but I'm surprised to hear she has such a big lead

@tiffany So yeah, funny thing, Trump can apparently say "Fluffle Puff all the Mexicans and Muslims" all he wants, but the second he says he'd stick his finger in some lady's cooter without her consent, that's crossing the line. He lost a lot of people with that tape.

@tiffany Last night's South Park really hit the nail on the head. Mr. Garrison, who's spent the whole sesaon trying to throw the election, tells a stand-up routine during a rally which begins with a bunch of racist comments and every one laughs and cheers, and then he starts talking about how he's gonna put his finger in a lady's butthole and that's when people start getting offended and leaving.

@mrmattimation @tiffany That doesn't mean that he won't try to throw more than a few spanners into the works. We're talking about a guy here who doesn't like to lose. And he is known to be a ruthless and vindictive son of a Potato Knishes when he finds himself backed into a corner.

@pennyfortheguy Basically exactly this. He's going to raise a very big stink about it.

@mrmattimation Ahh yes, the always omnipresent Trump contingency plan.

@tiffany If he loses, He thinks he'll be able to overthrow the election result by way of litigation. A stalling tactic which will help no one, and inevitably cost Trump a Fluffle Puffing fortune.

@tiffany Have you ever heard of the idiom - Pride comes before a fall?
