It's unprofessional for Trump to have such awful sportsmanship towards his opponents and childish of him to make false claims continuously causing unnecessary commotion unless he gets his way.

I think eventually you have to admit you lost. Whether or not he believes the election was rigged there simply isn't enough proof that has been brought forward.

whether you vote for Trump or not I still believe that he should have more sportsmanship because this isn't his first go around. admitting that he lost is definitely a big step because that could mean failure in his eyes and he doesn't want to disappoint people, so I definitely applaud him for standing his ground with his beliefs

"The financial firm Moody's Analytics predicts that President Trump will win the 2020 election in a landslide due to today's economic conditions."

"At issue: When should courts refrain from changing voting rules too close to an election in order to avoid causing voter confusion?"

Don't drop out of the race; redefine it. As you know, I am a friend of Hillary Clinton's. I also advise a super PAC that helped re-elect President Obama and now supports Hillary. But I also have known, liked, respected and admired you for many years, and you know that, too.

If Sanders drops out of the race, it'll definitely end up being Trump vs. Clinton in the general election. Something tells me that the outcome of this election will be less than desired any way you look at it. There will be no real winners in this.

"The Libertarian candidate for president, Gary Johnson, said on Sunday he "might actually run the table on all this" and win the White House in November, thanks to "the polarisation of Clinton and Trump"."

I doubt this will ever happen, but if it did it would be absolutely ludicrous. I'm almost positive there hasn't been a 3rd party winner since George Washington

re:Tanner I am not betting on a 3rd party win, but I do think this will be a big year for their vote totals. Technically Abraham Lincoln was a 3rd party (split from the Whigs to form the Republican party)

It has been said that nothing happens by accident in politics, and it is certainly no accident that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, members of the U.S. Senate and the mainstream media are all suddenly buzzing about "Russian hacking" and "Russian interference" in our elections.

A federal judge on Monday issued a stinging rejection of a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania's presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and scan some counties' election systems for signs of hacking.

"Disinterest and apathy are crushing it in the US elections right now"

(CNN) -- An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in.

I'm honestly not sure whether at should laugh or cry because of this ridiculousness. So Obama is going to take over the U.S., but then he's going to "give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations." Because that's what the UN does, right? It governs countries? And who exactly are Obama's "czars?" "He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody." I don't know if it's more worrying that Judge Head believes Obama is planning to become dictator of the U.S., or that he doesn't realize that he's implying Obama's czars don't listen to Obama, which would really mean that they are trying to take over the U.S., not Obama. And people in Texas actually support/believe this man? All I can say is that I'm glad I wasn't born in Lubbock County.

"Voters go to the polls in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio on Tuesday. Here's what to watch in those contests:"

I feel that Donald Trump and Hillary will be the winners of their respective parties. I feel that Cruz will drop out of the race and support Trump for the rest of the campaign.

Sanders will probably win a few in the midwest but I think Hillary will stay in front, trump as well. Cruz might drop out.

"Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

"Trump's path to a second term would most likely come in the same fashion that his first term did -- an Electoral College victory and a popular vote loss. Recent analysis suggests that Trump could lose the popular vote by as many as 5 million votes, but still win the Electoral College."

Maybe I don't understand it well enough, but to me, it doesn't make sense that a presidential candidate can lose the popular vote (you know, the one everyone gets a say in) by such a large margin, but *still* win because of the Electoral College. It doesn't seem legit like someone could simply go for the states with the most votes, and then they have a bigger chance of winning even if the majority don't necessarily like them.

There's a reason that the Electoral College exists. The United States was founded as a democratic-republic. Meaning that we elect representation that decides on the issues. We do not have a direct democracy, and we never have. All the good presidents back to Abraham Lincoln were elected this way. The reason we have an electoral college is to establish a democracy while still protecting the rights of minorities. A purely popular vote system could encourage certain states to modify voter requirements, as it would directly affect the national vote. Statistically, having to win multiple sub-elections is a more effective measure than one large one. It's why we count who won and who lost in sports instead of total points that season.

One of the most important partners of the United States is going to vote a new head of the government - Germany. This article shows perfect the political scene and the candidates of the Federal Republic Germany, which is pretty different to the American one.

"President Joe Biden on Sunday signed an executive order aimed at helping to ensure all Americans have the right to vote by increasing access to voter registration services and information."

I think this was a really good move and America should be grateful he's doing something beneficial.

I think it is good Biden is doing something to make voting better for everyone, especially for us since were going to be able to vote next election

Biden might actually win, It appears the odds are stacked against Trump

I wasn't expecting so many red states to flip. I see why Trump says it's rigged, however, can he find proof?

there was a lot of events that I didn't expect nor intend on happening, I believe that both parties at this time are just in it to win it

"But in Iowa, where Trump won 31 counties that Barack Obama once carried, the question of electability looms large. That statistic -- Iowa had more Obama-to-Trump counties than any state in the country"

It would be strange to see but it could be plausible, Trump isn't exactly safe with his words and what he does, so it wouldn't be that far off to maybe assume that he might be trying to find votes that don't exist.

Trump has lost and he needs to accept that. There is no evidence of voting fraud in the thousands and millions, and the votes he needed aren't just magically going to appear. Without concrete proof, this is just an adult throwing a temper tantrum.

This is possible but at some point, you have to give up. There is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the election was rigged so maybe its time to stop trying.

Global reactions have ranged from "Get well soon" to "I told you so" to even more blunt "wishes" for Trump. Remember that we are discussing this in an educational context for those who are going to comment on this situation. How do you think this is going to affect the election with only 32 days until the election?

I think it's good he got it because he's learning how serious it really is. sometimes it takes the first-hand experience to realize the truth about something. I think this is a slap in the face to some of the republicans that didn´t believe it.

I think it's kinda like karma for making fun of joe for wearing his mask all the time, although it does make him look bad because the president of our country makes fun of people for protecting themselves and taking covid seriously.
