He simply exhausted his options, in a close race.
Anyone who doesn't do this is a quitter.
And should be ashamed that they let their supporters down.
The quitters Gore and Clinton come to mind.
The lasting value in this is that the process will be scrutinized and updated. It will be Trump-proofed, assuming our law-makers can remember how to make laws.
For now, let's all thank Mr. Trump for introducing us to our system.

Sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're joking or not.

What I don't get is how people kept believing in it. How many times do you have to see fact-lite, argument-lite filings get laughed out of multiple courts, including by Trump appointed judges, before you figure out what's going on?
It's like they just love being the chump. Every night they lose all their money at the poker table but the next day they're like Flounder in Animal House - "You guys playing cards???"

Actually, there gas been quite a bit of fraud proven, most of it going one way.
I invite you to relook at Ted Cruz's comments on the Constitution and election law.

Trump-proofed
You watch, someone will figure this out
It will be like when Augusta tried to Tiger-proof the course.
Of course Augusta's mistake was that they created a course that was even more suited to Mr. Woods.

Maybe it's the "...then I'll take everything else down with me" bunker psychology
But is he really? Yeah, he's replaced people (for a total of 6-7 weeks), but I don't see him trying to burn down the country. Even if he fires Barr, what effect will that have on the nation? Nothing.
The only thing burning is his reputation, and sadly, the good work he's done in the Middle East is going unnoticed.
He's putting the axe on the most important pillar of any democracy, namely the concept to accept a loss of an election and not tell your gullible supporters that the election was "stolen", without ever presenting evidence that survives a day in court. A democracy can only live and survive when a certain set of rules is accepted by everyone. He's pissed on those rules, and I doubt they can be cleaned easily. They'll stink for decades. You'll maybe find some "but they did it, too" stuff, but there's nothing that comes close in magnitude.
What could be a more effective way to burn down a country than this?
I still don't really get why there isn't a greater outcry from Democrats and Republicans alike over this (or maybe there is and it's just TNCR that's not a representative sample). Trump actively tried to bypass a presidential election and seems to have made doing that ok in the eyes of his followers. Perhaps it's the mythology of America as the great bastion of democracy that is responsible for this complacency.

I like to think it's because there is such widespread fedupedness with this guy that nobody -- nooobody, in any party, wants to slow his exit. Everybody's like, "No roadblocks! NO ROADBLOCKS!"

I don’t think there’s a bigger outcry because everyone knows this is a childish, baseless attempt that will lose.
No one is really taking it seriously as a threat.

To my thinking the Trump Administration's foreign policy in the Middle East is just as problematic and empty as that of its recent predecessors.

Bull shit. A democracy can only survive as long as people feel they can trust the results of an election. But you ARE correct that to survive requires a certain set of rules be accepted by everyone. Apparently you missed the part where the 4 states in question did NOT do that, and changed the rules right before election day. THEY are the ones who pissed on the rules.
It's mind numbing to hear how uninformed the Left is.

I'll tell you who is about to be fed up. It's the 75 million Americans currently being made fun of, who are getting sick of the corruptness of the Left, and getting just as sick of all the stupid lies being spread by the Left and the self righteous, self important sheep on the Left. The level of ignorant bull shit being spewed here by the "Biden won" morons is just staggering.

Nope. Trump said in 2016 that winning with 306 electoral votes is a landslide. That’s how much Biden won with. So in Trump’s own words, Biden’s 306 votes was a landslide. See quote below from an interview he gave on Fox News Sunday in Nov 2016:
"We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College. I guess the final numbers are now at 306.”

I’m done trying to convince you of reality. You said Biden didn’t win. He did. You said I’ve been 100% wrong, I showed you I was right since my predictions in July. You said Trump didn’t make the claim about what a landslide victory is, I showed you he did. The sun is hot. Water is wet. Call me when you’ve accepted reality otherwise trying to convince you is a fool’s errand.

Ok you make the claim that Trump said Biden won by a landslide, then defend your lie by taking another lie - that Biden actually won all those votes - nd tacking a comment that Trump made that had absolutely nothing to do with Biden, and you expect me to think you're clever....
You are sick.

It’s sad to watch somebody become completely detached from reality and live in a phantasy world.
Remember, if all the other cars seem to drive in the wrong direction, it’s you who went the wrong way on the freeway.
