he has apologised... but there are many in his party who agree. Donald Trump has said nothing and has not ruled out violence if he loses when asked on other occasions...

can we expect the republicans to attack if their nominee loses in November?

[ToraToraTora]

No danger of him losing, they have all but nominated MAABOF Harris. What with the ear holing last week and the opposition, Trump's a shoe in.

He did apolpgise.  I think it comes under the heading of electioneering whipping-up rather than any serious statement of intent.

why won't trump rule out violence if he loses then jourdain? when he was asked earlier this year he said "it depends"

[ToraToraTora]

well even if he rules it out he has no control over the mob does he?

[jourdain2]

Probably much the same reasoning - to collect votes from anywhere. 

(I'm not supporting him - I  just watch what is happening in America with horror and alarm for the future of the western world no matter who wins.)

[Spungle]

Because he's Trump.  He doesn't tell liberals what they want to hear.  Like any excellent negotiator he keeps all his cards on the table.

[Old_Geezer]

The trouble with whipping up is that it can convince the hard of thinking to invade a Capitol Building or the like.

[Ellipsis]

His job was to deliver a speech to introduce Vance. The question is whether that was the pre-prepared script or, if  not, why he went off-script. Calling for civil war if his side lost, what a chump.

[tomus42]

The civil war is already happening.

It just hasn't become full on violent yet. It is being played out in Congress, the courts and the media.

The anti-democracy side is already gearing up to attempt another steal should they lose in November.

There is likely to be violence and intimidation on election night which Trump will do everything in his power to encourage if he thinks he's losing.

Shoo.

I would never vote for a party that said that they would not accept the election result if they did not win (even if every policy of that party was what I totally agreed with).

 

Why on earth 70 old million Americans are going to vote for such a party is beyond me.

[Hymie]

odd

//Why on earth 70 old million Americans are going to vote for such a party is beyond me.//

It's beyond me too, but the pro Putin insurrectionist rapist Donald Trump has got his admirers on AB. Perhaps they can shed some light on what the attraction is.

hymie: "I would never vote for a party that said that they would not accept the election result if they did not win (even if every policy of that party was what I totally agreed with)." - says someone who'd been moaning since 2016 about the brexit vote! Stop it hymie, my sides are splitting! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Hymie]

Brexit is a reality – I’m just pointing out what an absolute disaster Brexit is (and always was going to be); what makes you think I have not accepted the fact that the majority of those who voted in the referendum were stupid enough to vote leave?

[ToraToraTora]

You have not accepted the result have you? Yet you denigrate others for not accepting results. There's a word for that....

[Hymie]

Yes I have – show me one of my posts where I say that the Remain vote won – and that the referendum was stolen.

Hymie has not called for violence in order to overturn brexit has he

"Perhaps they can shed some light on what the attraction is."

they just think it "winds up the left" tomus... it's very sad but there really is no principle or interesting stance beyond that. such a person would poo their pants if they thought it might annoy what they think "the left" is.

//well even if he rules it out he has no control over the mob does he?//

So who was the person that incited the mob to riot when he lost the last election Tora etc?

Who was the person that did nothing to quell the rioting Tora etc?

Hmm? I Wonder..
