Lindsey: If Trump concedes, Republicans will never elect another president

BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 11/08/20 05:03 PM EST

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that President Trump should not concede defeat in the 2020 presidential election in part because Republicans will "never" be able to elect another president from their party again.

"If Republicans don't challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again," Graham said Sunday on Fox News. "President Trump should not concede. We're down to less — 10,000 votes in Georgia. He's going to win North Carolina. We have gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in Arizona, where more — more votes to be counted" ...

Where he talks about "changing the U.S. election system" presumably to ensure that a Democrat can never be elected again.

IOW, he's not just being a whiney little b!t ch, but actively trying to undermine our electoral system.

He's a slimey little weasel, and is up to no good. I wish someone would release the blackmail info on him.

Unfortunately Trump won't be last Republican president in America. It would be nice to go on a 20 year run like FDR/Truman did from 1932-1952.

kicking eligible voters off the rolls and delaying the mails and gerrymandering and requiring photo id with multiple proofs and reducing the number of polling places in selected areas to create day-long lines and making registration difficult and voter intimidation and ballot harvesting and vapor ballots (electronic voting machines without a paper trail)
