Sharp contrast between Gore in 2000 and Trump

Some of Trump’s defenders compared his remarks to the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election, when challenges by Democratic nominee Al Gore to the results in Florida culminated in the Supreme Court’s controversial decision in Bush v. Gore.

While Trump and Clinton haven’t been particularly evasive when it comes to addressing their critics, they both tend to redirect conversations away from their controversial comments or actions and try to switch over to broad issues where they can speak in generalities. He later added “I will keep you in suspense”.

Trump has leaned on an increasingly brazen strategy in the campaign’s closing weeks, including peddling charges that the election will be rigged, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud in previous USA presidential contests. And Trump’s daughter Ivanka, arguably his most influential adviser, said earlier Wednesday that her father would “do the right thing” when she was asked if he would concede after a defeat in November.

Trump’s reticence does not appear to be shared by those closest to him.

This would mean, in the parlance of the GOP, the Bush campaign had federalized a state issue, but as Baker says he asked uncomfortable Republicans at the time: “Do you want to be ideologically pure or do you want to win?”

To seamlessly transition his rally goers into Trump TV watchers, it’s critical that the businessman has a story to tell.

Despite Trump still bruising from allegations that he sexually assaulted women and Clinton still bruising from the latest Wikileaks email dump, both nominees remain the two most likely figures to become president. It’s not like Trump could call in the Air Force, or the Army.

Like most everything else that comes out of Trump’s mouth, that is manifestly untrue, and stealing an election is extremely unlikely, bordering on the impossible, given the decentralized way the us conducts elections, from scattered polling places and, in most states, county-by-county management with poll watchers from both major parties.

The phrase quickly resonated on social media with allies of Clinton saying Trump was denigrating immigrants.

“He’s said our country has no idea”, Biden said. “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”.

Trump’s right. It is rigged. If he had, it might be fair to say that he “tried to overturn the result”. “I’m not looking anything now I will look at it at the time“. That’s how he’s keeping support in Russian Federation.

Based on his statements, it’s possible that Trump wouldn’t concede until this happened, just to prove a point. The experience of the Obama administration-which came to power promising “change you can believe in”-has only demonstrated to millions of people that their vote has no impact on the policies of the ruling class”. Nixon, of course, had a history of being cranky with the press with his “You don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore” concession speech after he lost the governor’s race in California in 1962. “But it’s bad experience”.

She proceeded to say, “What’s really important about WikiLeaks is that the Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans. this has come from the highest levels. from Putin himself.to influence this election”.

Entire books have been written about the frantic legal and political maneuverings of the 36 days that folllowed-including one that I wrote with help from the vast files of my then-colleagues at The Washington Post.

In an average of national polls , Clinton has a lead at 48.6 percent over Trump’s 42.1 percent.

Karen Hughes, George W. Bush’s communications director, told CNN in 2015, “At the time (Al Gore) conceded, Jeb Bush was still over there on his computer and he was like ‘I don’t know what they’re seeing”.

Trump makes unprecedented claims of election riggingU.S.

In less than three weeks, the American people have the chance to save him from that sacrifice.
