Sue, I am no Trump fan, but knock off the banal nonsense that he might refuse to leave office (“The New Cabinet?” in the March 2 edition of the Daily Journal). It’s an inane way to add lines to a column, and flippant facetiousness. You trivialize our important safeguards and history.
Democrat behavior after the last election would imply a greater risk from Democrats if this election is lost too. You would think no party had ever lost an election before.
Parties change, transitions occur. This time will be no different.
Losing an election fair and square, is one thing. But to have it stolen despite voter majority, with unknown impact of the usual Republican tricks and voter suppression, together with foreign meddling, is a serious problem, and so devastating to our democracy, that we shouldn’t get over it too easily. And with Trump’s very fragile ego, Sue has every reason to wonder how he will react to a loss next time, no matter how necessary that would be to save the country, as well as the rest of the world.
