The Trump campaign refused to concede defeat in the presidential race on Saturday after networks projected a win for Joe Biden.
The Democratic nominee is projected to win at least 290 electoral votes, with victories predicted in Pennsylvania and Nevada, according to the Associated Press. However, President Trump and allies have repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that the election is being “stolen” due to widespread voter fraud.
“The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said in a statement after multiple networks called a victory for Biden. “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court

PBS is glowingly showing a BLM rally in DC. I wonder when they will come to the suburbs to thank the white suburban women who gave them their victory?

Good, the media has always been in the tank for Biden, no surprise they called victory. But, I'm not, I have faith President Trump will win out. I'm not giving up on him.

One interesting note is that all these writers say "without evidence", I guess just to trumpet as loudly as possible that he or she is a bigger idiot and/or liar than anyone else on the planet.

The network calls are propaganda...here comes the Trump = Sore Loser/Sour Grapes meme legitimized. Even Fox News "admits" PDT loses.

It's not over until the fat lady sings....There will be a recount in Georgia, Wisconsin and hopefully Pennsylvania. There is a lot of corruption in Milwaukee Wisconsin and Philadelphia Pennsylvania which could turn this election upside down....

Every incurious, lazy or weaponized journalist, who refuses to investigate for truth and has used the term “without evidence” regarding President Trump’s accusations of fraud, should hang on to their computers. (So much for “watchdogs of liberty”!). The true watchdogs and champions of liberty are about to give you THE EVIDENCE you can’t seem to be bothered to find for yourselves. But we all know there will be “journalistic opinion” aplenty when evidence that isn’t to their particular liking appears. I’m praying that the Lord blesses us with honest judges who revere the rule of law.

And ye young Zachary, here, claims to be a journalist, without evidence. Working for a failed rag that would be shuttered by now if it wasn’t getting $$ from leftists, with evidence.

Do not concede, Mr. President, never ever until this whole mess is exposed and investigated. These networks are behaving irresponsibly. They know what is riding on this and because they believe they have the power they can create a false narrative and essentially name Joe Biden the winner and we will all nod in agreement. We will not. There is too much evidence of cheating. They know it, we know it and they know we know it. If we don’t force these states to be open and transparent about what has happened, the country will not agree on the outcome. Fight on, Mr. President. This cheating is an unparalleled affront to our rights as citizens of a free and fair election. It is blatant and it is documented. Do not let the deep state, media and Rinos bully you into conceding. We need your strength and determination now more than ever and you have our undying support and loyalty for what is to come. We are forever faithful to you and the United States Constitution.

There is that phrase again: "without evidence." "There is no evidence of vote fraud." etc.etc. The whole left refuses to watch Fox News or go to any web site that tells the truth, such as Lucianne or Breitbart, because they are "disinformation," then claims there is "no evidence" of any wrongdoing by demoncrats. They are the 3 Monkeys: See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.

Now we know why the left kept asking Trump if he would leave peacefully if he lost. The Dems knew that they could drag Biden across the finish line. This whole fiasco was, of course, planned well in advance. If this holds, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, but it ain't over til it's over.

This is an old Nazi/Communist propaganda trick. Repeat a lie often enough over and over and it preps people's mind to accept and cave in to accept the falsehood. That is what the media is doing. Don't fall for this garbage.

Since the close states have had days to keep counting votes, the so called media should give the courts and lawsuits time to see how illegitimate the vote counting really was/is in PA, MI, and the other close states. If Biden does cheat his way into the presidency, I will accept him as president the same way the liberals have accepted Trump. The only halfway good news I can see right now is that witch Hillary has to see Kamala as the first woman president, if the cheaters prevail.

Joe Biden is the Lance Armstrong of politics. It matters nary a whit to him that massive cheating was involved in his election. Joe was hoist here by Chinese Communist Party money and their election playbook. He is Beijing Biden for a reason, here to subvert our foreign policy to the liking of Xi and the CCP. He is Benedict Biden treasonous to the core. He must be stopped and exposed as an agent of China.
President Trump should declare a national crisis then call out the Army Reserves and Marine Corps to take over the ballot audits and RE-count of the swing State votes first, where the "glitchy" voting machines were used, and the rest of the States later, as those votes could change the balance of power in the Congress.

Recounts of fraudulent ballots are worthless. Because I have no idea what Thomas, Alito and the other conservative SC justices are thinking, I don't expect anything less than a legitimate, monitored re-vote will keep Trump in office.

The Democrats have stolen another election. They knocked H W Bush out with the Democrats running Ross Perot to split the conservative vote. This election the Democrats used vote harvesting. The Republicans, never having any ideas, just hope for the best, or a landslide.

Here's what Michael Flynn told Newsmax TV: "With no proof, we've beat this president over his head and shoulders about Russia, Russia, Russia interference in our election and come to find out there's zero proof of that. And now all of a sudden we see egregious, egregious levels of behavior and corruption in some states. And these people in these states, they have to be embarrassed. So now nobody wants to see if we have election interference? I mean, give me a break. Right now, we are at risk. This is going to place this country at risk, if we get this wrong.... This is bigger than the presidency. I'll say this is bigger than Donald Trump. This is bigger than Vice President [Joe] Biden. This is much bigger. This is the presidency of the United States of America. It's the Constitution of the United States of America. It's a process we've had for almost 250 years."

If Trump loses, here is what I think he should do. I would love to see him start his own Network and then take the MILLIONS of FOX viewers with him! I think most of us Conservatives have had enough of FOX! I think Trump could also take a lot of the Real Conservative Talking Heads with him as well. We don't need Bret or his Buddies! We will take Tucker, Laura and Hannity. Maybe Brian Kilmeade and a few of the Regulars on Outnumbered and The Five (not Dana)! Take Jesse Waters too! This is what Republicans need. A Network that works to back the Republicans, not tear them down as FOX has done over and over this year! We have the next TWO years to get great candidates to take back the House and get a few more Senate Seats! Then we can hold back some of the agenda that Biden will have! After that! We need to decide SOON who to run against Biden. It has to be someone young, energetic, a great speaker and someone who can draw in the younger generation. Someone like Tom Cotton!

Three states the Trump team needs to focus on. They are Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Total of 46 electoral votes. Thats all Trump needs if North Carolina and Alaska continue to go for Trump. The Pennsylvania margin is 34k votes. The margin in Georgia is only 7k votes. The margin in Wisconsin is 20k votes. Total of 61k votes. Just need to find 61k fraudulent/flipped votes. If the voter fraud is massive and nationwide, there are likely people counting votes and seeing discrepancies. Focus on the counties that are heavy blue.

If the Hammer was used to skew the vote totals and or a supposed sting operation was deployed to trap the dims and msm, the President and his team have two and a half months to blow the lid off of these. Meanwhile, never ever concede, Mr. President. AG Barr, are you busy? We have some things for you to look at assuming you can and will, that is.

Ironic, but not at all surprising, that these same Liberal news heads parroting the "without evidence" about voter fraud reports (for which there is a collection of anecdotal evidence and a scattering of physical evidence to back it up) didn't seem to know that the term existed when they were hammering baseless accusations against Trump's judicial nominees and directly against him for the past 5 years.
Like a toddler they learned a phrase and proceed to repeat it, ad nauseum, for inappropriate situations. Forgive me, Lord; but I absolutely hate the news media.

This is the big Democrat/Marxist talking point: Trump claims "without evidence, that the election is being “stolen” due to widespread voter fraud."
There are massive amounts of evidence that massive vote fraud has taken place. There is simply no evidence that the propagandists will acknowledge.

With recounts ordered, and lawsuits still unheard, the media anoints a US president.

There is no law that says that President Trump must concede the election. Listen to Hillary Clinton’s recent advice to Joseph Biden on that issue. If Trump goes on to believe that the Democrats rigged the election he has the right to challenge the election result in the courts. If the Electoral College calls Biden the winner and the courts do not intercede on Trump’s part, Trump should thank the American people, and especially the minority voters who supported him in the election, and finish out his term of office, ignoring the “gas lighting” media that is nothing more then the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party these days, while abiding by the US Constitution and the federal presidential transition laws, and regulations. At noon on January 20, 2021 Trump should leave the White House with his head held high. No election concession is needed.
After all, life for Trump will not be so bad living as a billionaire on his Florida golf courses and resorts where he is a popular figure.

I am tired of this "without evidence" baloney!!!! There is plenty of evidence and blocking observers alone should disqualify tons of ballots. To be honest, the only right way to fix this is to do the whole election over and only vote in person.

Perhaps General McAuliffe (RIP & Merry Christmas!) realized that with a 360 degree field of fire, a mortar round in any quadrant is likely to hit something important?
No Evidence?!
And to think that I seriously intended to start the new year with a renewal of my 25 year NR subscription!
looks like the publisher(s) haven't learned a thing from either WFB (RIP), history or their own experience.
Good riddance!
