"A republican representative in a safe seat just called Trump an asshole?
"
I'm pretty sure most people who have to deal with Trump hate him. He's just an utter, useless prick who goes out of his way to be offensive to people he needs.
But unfortunately, Trump's also the platonic ideal of the modern Republican Party values. It's the party of racist, incurious bullies, and Trump is racist, incurious, and enjoys hurting people.

The House passed a non-binding resolution affirming support for a peaceful transition of power, 397-5.
The five dissenters (all Republicans) will not surprise you: Steve King (IA-4), Thomas Massie (KY-4), Clay Higgins (LA-3), Louie Gohmert (TX-1), Matt Gaetz (FL-1).
I don't want to sound like that I am doomsaying here, but what would even happen if Biden gets elected and Trump rejects the results?
Biden enters the White House and Trump whines like a baby.
Also more terrorism.

That said, listening to Trump doing nothing but nonstop lying during the entire thing was not good for my heart or blood-pressure. (Raging mad at the end, to say the least.)
He had nothing but hatred, deflection and lies to spew, and that was infuriating to watch.
He really lives up to his slogan "I take NO responsibility at all!" at least.

Trump ends the debate with conspiracy theories. He’s making it clear that he will contest the results and cheat his way back to president.
