Because the more successful he is at that, the less republican voters will vote in future elections, because they will have a greater mistrust of the system, thus less republicans will get elected, and less republicans being elected is a good thing, for the obvious reasons, less tax breaks for the wealthy, more money for the poor and middle class etc.

Trump is sabotaging his own party for his own personal gain, which btw, will never work, he will never reverse any of the states' results in the courts, the legal experts on both sides say that.

The more effort the GOP expends on the recounts (perfectly acceptable, by the way), and the more time, money and resources they expend mounting challenges in others states (as many as five), the less than can pour into the two Georgia Senate run-offs, which are probably of great concern to Mitch McConnel and Co. than trying to save Trump, from whom they've already squeezed more orange juice out of than they probably ever dreamed possible. The longer this goes on without any solid evidence of skullduggery, the more damage Trump does to his legacy, his party and his country.

Biden says 'chicanery' at polls is the only way he could lose U.S. election

Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Joe Biden said on Saturday “the only way” he could lose to President Donald Trump was through “chicanery,” before clarifying that he will accept the election result.

Biden encouraged potential voters at a campaign stop in the must-win battleground of Pennsylvania, telling them “make sure to vote because the only way we lose this is by the chicanery going on relative to polling places.”

Its interesting that Biden said that he might lose because of voter fraud, and now he says there is no voter fraud. lol

Unless he was right and there was no chicanery. If Biden was in the position Trump was in now, he'd be getting the exact same advice Trump is getting - Concede for the good of your party and your country... and he would be wise to do so, as Nixon (1960) and Gore (2000) did before him. If Trump wants to wait for the absentee ballots in Georgia plus the recount there and in other states, then I really don't have a problem with that.

Trump will never concede, he'll be claiming he was robbed until they throw him out in January, Trump is the most predictable person ever elected to a position grown ups are supposed to be elected to.

Trump may well cost the GOP the Senate if he stinks up the joint as badly as I think he might. The voters of Georgia are already pretty pumped and motivated, and this is only increasing their motivation to come out and vote in large numbers. These could be the two most consequential run-off elections in American history. If the Democrats manage to get a hold of those two seats, the whole narrative of the election changes as does Biden's first two years in office. The Democrats also have the advantage of not going after recounts and other legal maneuvers that will consume a lot of the GOPs time.

Democrats were already preparing for a Trump win by boarding up their shops and preparing for riots and looters. We were told that Trump purposely slowed the mail and removed ballots boxes so democrats couldn't vote. It appears none of that mattered. The dems were touting mail and voter fraud until the day of the election and now all of sudden, oops, hey they said, there is no voter or mail fraud cause we won. If Trump had won by mail in ballots I can guarantee 1000% that dems would be throwing a fit and say Trump cheated. They had the storyline already set ready to go.

Gore didn't concede til after the Florida Supreme Court decided on Bush's behalf. Trump is still contesting the validity of the votes so anything is possible. My guess is that his requests will be thrown out because the Courts in those States lean left.

Maybe there was chicanery or maybe there wasn't, but the dems love investigating these types of things, (Mueller Report) but I doubt they will do no investigating.
