When President Trump refused to concede the election to Joe Biden in the immediate aftermath of Nov. 3, we argued that he had the right to mount legal challenges if he believed there had been irregularities, mistakes, fraud, or all three. Democratic objections and outrage were as hypocritical as they were inevitable, coming as they did from a corps that refused to accept the 2016 election result not for days, weeks, or even months, but for four years.
But although fair-minded people know there are legitimate procedures for litigation, and that these should be allowed to play out, there is also wisdom in the phrase, “put up or shut up.”

As the moment gets closer when Trump’s legal team go to the Supreme Court with their case, the Democrats and the Party’s media and academic allies get closer to a condition of gibbering panic.

I just emailed them and read them the riot act. No, he better not concede. This isn't about Trump, not alone anyway, it's about whether or not there will continue to be an America in any true sense of the word.

Why don't your fight instead for something positive: eg the use of PAPER BALLOTS only in the Georgeia
runoff? That seems to be the only fair way to vote in these days. Any only those who've lived in
the state on 11/3/20 are eligible to vote!

Do NOT concede Mr. President. This election was stolen from you. If you concede, then who ever committed fraud and stole the election will do over and over. FIGHT!!!!! We are with you.

Wow. This editorial from the Washington Examiner is astonishing and disconcerting. Sure, it looks as if Biden received more votes judged by counting the ballots in hand. BUT, are all the ballots being counted in favor of Biden actual, legal votes? I think that many are not. Why can't we take the time to verify the legitimacy of all these last minute, registered-on-the-day-of, mail-in ballots? And what of the Dominion software electronic votes, the ones with no paper trail? How can the W.E. say with certainty that these votes are legal? Just how many overvotes were there and where did they occur? All this takes time to sort out and we haven't even reached the states' certification due dates yet. What is the rush W.E.? Why does Trump need to concede now? What's your agenda W.E.? What do you get out of this demoralization procedure? Hey, W.E. how about you just BACK OFF.

Would these dunderheads be offering the same advice to Biden is the circumstances were reversed? I think we know the answer. They want this President out and away from the corruption he intends to reveal. They know he will do what no other politician would ever do-put the country first and root out the evil deep staters who have destroyed our founding principles. In other words, bring back justice to the country deserving of it after years of watching the democrats be held accountable for none of their crimes. They fear that Donald J. Trump will do what he says and he will drain the swamp for the good of the country.

Trump cannot and must not concede. If this election was stolen--and I believe it was--then this shows the Left's lust for power and willingness to do anything to get it. That said, they will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to keep it. Bar nothing. Take very seriously any mention of "making lists" and "reeducation" of Trump supporters. We will face massive persecution which will be surreptitious at first--meaning barely detectable and maintaining plausible deniability--but will eventually become wider and more noticeable to others around us. With our technology, people can effectively harass and intimidate others while barely leaving a trace.

Should we remind them that in 2000 Algore conceded and then un-conceded and put the country through more than a month of idiocy over “dimpled chads” in just to Florida counties?
The president and 72 million Americans are standing together against massive fraud. Deal with it and shut up.

These calls for Trump to call nc de assure me there was fraud. They are premature with respect to the actual process, they brush over people's real worries, they are brazen hypocrisy since the same people were telling is to be patient with the he ambiguities of mail in ballots as nd to he delay they might introduce, and the media outlets concerned are losing credibility. If all this is worth it then there was fraud and the open Sill meds of the calls to concede is worth it to attempt the cover up.

'Put up or shut up' is the mantra being repeated everywhere. It really means show your cards so I can go and fix the evidence. The President and his lawyers were not born yesterday. This election had an extra ordinary proportion of mail in and absentee ballots (by design IMO). The system should have been adjusted retooled to accommodate that. It was not done - again IMO deliberately. These are not ordinary times and news media should stop pretending that they are to ensure their side wins.

'...there is also wisdom in the phrase, “put up or shut up.” '
The media is always eager for the “put up or shut up.”
They are always chasing the scoop, the headline.
While this one would also like to see fraud crushing,
election flipping, vote harvesting outlawing evidence right now!
real work is never quick and easy.

The dems, Obama/Soros have so much to hide. If it all comes out, they should spend the rest of their years in jail. It's time for Biden to step back. Any moron knows that President Trump won. Biden didn't have to hold rallies because he knew the fix was in.

Do they even understand what they are saying? Their sage ruling is that voter fraud should be quietly accepted and we all need to meekly accept it? If we don’t expose this now and fight this battle this whole country is going down in flames. There are much bigger stakes here than the egos of a bunch of know it all doofs writing editorials. Trump does not take advice from the media.

My wife and I put this proposition to a vote. She voted for conceding; I voted against. I suggested we stop right there and go to bed.
The next morning, the vote was 1 for conceding and 137,001 against. I told her if she didn't certify that, she's racist.

No. Absolutely not!
Dear (anonymous) editors at the Washington Examiner: It's time to fix our corrupt voting system, and to punish the people who have committed voting fraud. Question: Do you really want to live in a country governed by corrupt, cheating politicians and bureaucrats? Are you so short-sighted that you can only see as far as the current election? Do you really value the democrat party more than you own country?
It's easy to rationalize corruption when things go your way, and you can't look beyond the present and foresee the changes you might object to in the future.

So the editors have completed an analysis that the illegal votes are insufficient to overturn the election. Show me your analysis. So they say Trump Team has litigated this now and lost. I missed those cases going through our legal system. I think these editors just raised their biden flag for all to see.

Sorry, Examiner, but there is a clear danger that our democracy is in deep stuff. At least half the American public, Republican, Democrat and independent, believes this election was fixed. The truth is the cause here, either a full affirmation that this election was fair and honest, or going the full Monty to ensure its perfidy is purged, corrected in full, and the treasonous criminals brought to full justice. This is no mere shenanigan.

LOL, oh no, perhaps I was wrong, maybe I should listen to the wise people at this idiot newspaper. It is interesting how some fools think they are something special because a propagandist pays them to spin the usual rat lies. Hint, various writers at this stupid newspaper, you make your case on logic and facts with each article you write. Unfortunately for you, you've ruined any reputation you might have had a long time ago. Take your dying media form to the dustbin of history where you belong.

Either do this all properly and audit all the states or redo the entire election where everyone must vote in person with ID except the physically handicapped with medical proof and those who have justified reasons for traveling away from home. Those all need verified requested absentee ballots too. A new election is really the only right way to do it but no midnight dumps nor other shenanigans should be allowed.
