Of course he will.

But Lazy Donald appears to be showing up. It looks like a rear guard action from a man who couldn't vet a Press Secretary.

I'm not sure how a generally enraged electorate will react to such banana state hissy fits.

All sentient beings know that Der Dotard will have his lawyer Todd "NOT Toad" Blanche running hither and yon filing suits contesting every election result, no matter the margin of victory. In many cases, the challenge will be for elections where the margin of victory will be beyond the threshold for automatic recounting. Of course, no offer of compensation for recounts will be made, so nearly all such situations will be ignored by election officials. And no proof will be offered for claims of misdeeds on the part of election officials, even GOP officials. It will be a clusterF so long as credence is given to these spurious claims.

The result will be plenty of work for lawyers, overwhelmed courts, and a lot of embarrassed MAGA folk when they find they cannot BS their way to victory at the polls...

Him attacking the mid term results is guaranteed.

He's a frigging whiny ass sore loser who does not have the intellectual maturity to admit defeat.

He is a litmus test of just how stupid Americans has become and the news is pathetic.

He should ask himself one question - Am I bulletproof?
