Well sorta agree.

While I dont know what evidence he has yet, and that will determine if he is in the right, I can say taht simply believing in election fraud and being wrong (A commonly held belief as few us trust the american government) isnt all that damaging. At worst that makes him what we already knew he was, an idiot, not much more.

โ€œThe outcome of the 2000 election hinged on Floridaโ€™s 25 electoral votes, a near statistical tie that precipitated a 36-day political crisis in the aftermath of the Nov. 7 election, the closest such contest in U.S. history.โ€

With all due respect, im not sure the point being made by highlighting that quote. I beleive the statements made in that quote are known and accepted by all members in the conversation, not sure it is adding anything. Though I may just not be understanding what point you are trying to make so please feel free to clarify if so.

I tried to highlight with a respected source that Al Gore refused to concede for 36 days.

@issdeinschnitzel

ahh I see, thanks for sharing that. I think Rob does recognize that, though for some reason he thinks Gore's 36 day fight to the top of the court system over something that wasnt even fraud was "graceful" while trumps not even 24 hours of talk about fighting actual fraud (presuming it turns out to be true) is not graceful. which is more the disconnect.

Though I fail to see how one is anymore graceful than the other. Well except for trumps usual lack of charisma.
