Really, what does it matter? I get that it's a "nice" thing to do, you call the other candidate, say "congrats and good luck" etc. But so what?
There's such a big push now to get Trump to concede, back in Bush/Gore, Gore conceded, then took it back and people freaked out. But why?
It's not a "it's over, I concede" the voting continues, the electoral college moves on etc etc etc.
So what's the big deal? Does it actually do anything? Is there a legal effect of it?

If Trump conceded then when the EC goes to him and he takes office again on Jan 20 snowflakes like Ejit, letoy and Piddlet would cry about Trump being a liar.

The MSM is trying to build up the liebtards expectations so they will be so distressed later they will go even more apeschiett insane and take to the streets rioting with the anarchists and catch some of the bullets for them.
They are trying to drive the retards to a hate Trump fever pitch so when they commit suicide the MSM can blame the red meaney and try to make other dumbasses like Piddlet and ejit and Calledumb and Northmam hate Trump even more for not accepting the election results like they didnt.

If he concedes it’s over. If not, they go to sleep at night worried.
Yup.

The reality is that the vote doesn't matter, as Presidents are not elected, but rather, selected by electors that the State Houses pick. A concession is the same as dropping out of the race, so the only candidate left will take Office. The various electors are not bound by any law to pick the candidate their constituents pick, but they can't pick a candidate that is no longer running for office.

A Concession has no legal standing whatever. Remember that Al Gore conceded then retracted it when FL started looking very close. A candidate who has conceded can still win if the vote goes that way. It's just being polite.

I'm open to Biden conceding.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

Trump conceding the election is a way for the media to see Trump rub his own face in it and for them to rub ours in it. In the absence of him doing that they’ll turn to the next available best option and mock him for not doing it.

It's just being polite. Take a look at some of his press conferences, and then lets talk about people being polite. He hasent been treated politely for an hour by either the media or the Democrats since he legitimately took office. Let the lawyers do their work and the courts make their decision, then all of us including Trump can move on from all this.

I agree, the sooner Biden concedes the better.

Exactly. Civil War 2 is much more preferable to the bad guys than 4 more years of swamp drainage. If pedo Joe and camel toe take office, they’re home free. But if someone with courage and balls occupies the Oval Office they’re in deep chit. Keep your powder dry. 7mm

One concedes when they lose an election,.....not when it's been stolen.
Trump won the election. There's nothing for him to concede.
