Trump Won't Concede if He Loses Any Primary Election, Chris Christie Predicts
themessenger.com

If Trump loses the nomination he'll simply return to Mar-a-Lago and 'carp and moan and complain,' said Christie

Chris Christie doesn't expect Donald Trump to concede if he loses any primary election.

The former New Jersey governor was discussing focusing his campaign efforts on New Hampshire with Jonathan Karl on "This Week" when he was asked if he believes Trump would concede in a primary he loses.

"I don't care," Christie responded.

He explained "no one will expect" Trump to concede based on the fact that he still hasn't publicly admitted he lost the 2020 presidential election — or given up his unfounded claims of widespread election fraud.

Another meaningless article giving Trump publicity. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Trump surpassed 75M votes

I wish that when they mention Trump, that they also mentioned that he is liable for sexual assault, fraud and under indictment for (list all the charges in this space). A responsible press would make sure their readers had all the facts each time.

I like Biden a lot more than I expected to when I voted for him, but the reason he got so many more votes than any previous candidate in history isn't simply because he's that good. The reason people showed up to the polls was to get rid of Trump.

I think the Democrat politicians also want to keep Trump in the news because they believe that Trump winning the nomination and also being convicted and imprisoned gives them the best chance of winning next year.

It's a dangerous game they're playing.

It's not dissimilar to the game they played and lost in 2016

I had an hypothesis that CNN mobile was running Trump stories 24/7 to expose him as an ass, turn people off.

Nope. They just wanted the eyeballs on their screen.

Um...you might want to pay more attention. Trump is either very close or outright leading in the polls.

The Trump people stopped reading mainstream articles a long time ago. If ABC, NBC, and CBS all stopped talking about him, the Fox / Newsmax people would never know.

Rather than polls, I find betting odds to be much more reliable: https://www.oddschecker.com/us/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2024/winner

Trump at ~30% chance of victory. As a non-American looking in, all I can do is laugh.

So what's funny here? You realize it's a global world?

Betting odds are not generally a reliable indicator of outcomes, because they are typically set based on the bets that have been received to ensure that, no matter what the outcome is, the house wins. While generally speaking, bettors will place bets according to what they think the most likely outcome is, making odds an OK proxy for crowd-sourcing opinions, there will be systematic bias which throws things off.
