After Trump's election loss denial, no Republican would concede an election loss ever again. Even if a Republican looses by 99.9%, they would still challenge the election.
That that man could become president, be tolerated as president and even defended passionately by people who call themselves Christians, says a great deal about the sort of world we live in.

Like when Gavin Newsom recall fell short of the needed vote for an election in California and nobody in the GOP made any qualms about that. Same in New Jersey, the GOP candidate conceded defeat - even when the margin of victory was little, for a deep blue state like NJ.

Spin me something different.

Has Stacey Abrams conceded that the 2018 Georgia Governorship election was lost and Kemp won fairly?

ABRAMS: Let's be clear. This is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy

First paragraph:

But Abrams also said she would "pray for the success of Brian Kemp that he will indeed be a leader of all Georgians."

Trump offered some praise for Abrams on Friday evening: "Stacey Abrams fought brilliantly and hard - she will have a terrific political future!"

In a statement on Friday evening, Kemp, who previously called Abrams' refusal to concede "a disgrace to democracy" and a "temper tantrum," said he looked forward to moving past the divisive race.



She put up a fight then conceded.

She accepted that Kemp was bonafide governor. Does Trump agreethat Biden is a bonafide President?

(CNN)Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams defended herself from criticism that she never conceded her loss to Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018 on Friday, addressing what Republicans have already used against her in her newly announced 2022 rematch against Kemp.

Abrams, in the wake of her 2018 loss to Kemp by 1.4 percentage points, ACKNOWLEDGED that Kemp, who then worked as Georgia secretary of state, would be the governor of Georgia. But she specifically said in her final speech that she was not concede due to persistent voter suppression allegations, adding that conceding would mean acknowledging "an action is right, true or proper" and "as a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that."

During an interview with CNN's "New Day" on Friday, Abrams said Kemp "won under the rules of the game at the time, but the game was rigged against the voters of Georgia."

"I, on November 16, 2018, acknowledged at the top of my speech that Brian Kemp is the governor of Georgia and I even wished him well at the end of the speech," Abrams said. "And in the middle, I talked about the fact we had a system that he managed, that he manipulated, hurt Georgia voters and the responsibility of leaders is to challenge systems that are not serving the people."

Abrams added that she has been "very well aware for three years I am not the governor of Georgia" but that as a citizen of the state she has a "responsibility... to challenge a system that would rob a single voice from being able to be heard if they are eligible."


Even though Abrams lost her 2018 election, the race vaulted her into the upper echelons of the Democratic Party, landing Abrams as one of the top candidates on Biden's vice presidential search. In response, Republicans have attacked the way Abrams ended her campaign, using her lack of a concession as a way to blunt criticism against some of the baseless Republican attacks the party made against election systems in the wake of former President Donald Trump's loss in 2020.
"Abrams didn't want an election loss to get in the way of her ability to leverage her political career into fame and financial success, so she paraded around the country as someone who didn't lose," said Jesse Hunt, spokesman for the Republican Governors Association. "Those lies now sow doubt in every word that comes out of her mouth."
Asked about these attacks on Friday, Abrams said, "Yes, he became the governor, and we have watched him fail for three years."

In the last Virginia elections Terry McAullife of Virginia also said the same thing and claimed voter fraud in Georgia 2018

(CNN)At a rally over the weekend, former Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe did something his party has repeatedly bashed Donald Trump and Republicans for doing: He suggested a past election had been unfairly decided because of ballot shenanigans.

Okay.

Let us agree that they are both sore losers then.

They are both wrong but it appears, one party is now in the business of not conceding than the other.

They are shocked that Trump claimed voter fraud against him in 2020 while Abrams and McAuliffe are alleging elections was rigged in Georgia 2years earlier

The one thing that has distinguished Trump - from other presidents (like Obama de o dumber), is that he doesn't like to chicken out, especially when he's got hard evidence that a crime has been committed.

Take for example, the Russian Hoax saga, the Ukrainian president's phone call saga, the stolen election of 2016 (Russian puppet) etc etc. Trump said all those were fabricated lies against him and his office. Over time, and with a little effort on his part (Special Counsel Durham), he's been proven right - all the time.

Why will his claim that the presidential election of 2020 was rigged be different?

What are the odds that he's lying and cannot be trusted? What has he got to lose? He's a wealthy man already - a septuagenarian who should be resting and enjoying his wealth.

There is an audit trail convincing enough for me to believe him. The election was rigged.
Audit trail? Like thousands of dead people voting? Voting machine switching votes? More votes than registered voters? Bamboo ballots?
Ono, proofing voter fraud is not rocket science! If I label you a thief and keep repeating it, does that make you one? But, Trumpism is a disease that has infected a lot of people. So, I understand your plight.

Party of Abrams is sure not the one chasing useless audit up and down. Fighting themselves (Arizona GOP vs Trump GQP). They are not the one riling people up to stop the steal or try to assassinate the Vice President or smear poop in the Congress.
