Conversely, approximately half of the voters polled disagreed with the sentiment.
More specifically, 61 percent of Republicans claimed that it’s “very likely” Democrats stole the election, while the same portion of Democrats said it’s “not at all likely.” Among individuals not affiliated with a party, 29 percent believe the referendum was stolen, and 45 percent believe it wasn’t.
The survey also found that views on Trump conceding vary by party affiliation. While 84 percent of Democrats believe that Trump should concede, 57 percent of Republicans disagree.
Rasmussen also found that faith in the integrity of the election has declined since Election Day.
“Just two weeks before this year’s Election Day, 94% said their vote would be correctly recorded and counted, with 73% who said it was Very Likely. Following the election, those findings fell to 71%and 47% respectively.”
Interestingly, the poll found that just 51 percent of voters believe their friends and neighbors think Trump should concede. Thirty percent believe they would disagree, and 18 percent are not sure. In a piece for Breitbart, John Nolte argued that these are the most critical findings because top pollsters have suggested the question more accurately captures the “true intent of the person being surveyed.”
Nolte also expressed support for a closer examination of vote counting and pushed back against Biden’s projected victory.
“So until the votes in those states are audited in detail with transparency, I will never completely accept the outcome of a Biden victory.”
Trump and his allies continue to claim that Democrats stole the election. As reported by the Boston Herald, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani declared on Thursday that the campaign had discovered a “nationwide widespread voter fraud conspiracy plot” to give Biden the election.

“Are you kidding me?” Pirro responded, prompting Rivera to point out that Biden won millions more votes than his opponent, who has no path to victory.

But Rivera did not back down. The reporter insisted that Trump has no legal basis to contest the results, suggesting that his lawyers have failed to provide evidence of widespread electoral fraud.
“But judge, what’s the case?” he asked Pirro.
“What’s the case that these facts are salient to? Where is the lawsuit filed? Which court is it? State court, federal court? What is the issue? Is it a constitutional issue? Is it a statutory issue?”
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, who also participated in the discussion, interjected, slamming members of the press and predicting that there will be riots if the results are “overturned” and Trump is declared the winner.
Rivera dismissed Gutfeld’s suggestion.

inquisitr--2020-11-21--Donald Trump Roasted By Comedian For ‘Soy Boy Attitude’ Amid Election Fraud Claims

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience , comedian Donnell Rawlings roasted Donald Trump for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election .
The remarks came after Rogan noted that one of the Trump administration ’ s arguments is that Republican vote watchers were too far away from some ballot counting to properly observe the counts .
“ That ’ s a very soy boy attitude , ” Rawlings jokingly said of the argument .
The pair joked earlier in the podcast about the anger directed toward soybeans , and the political nature of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used by Republicans .
Although the host noted that the president could be correct and there might have been incorrectly counted votes , Rawlings argued that he and his allies have yet to provide sufficient evidence for their claims .
“ Every time that they ’ ve came out with all these lawsuits , and they ’ re dropping them , ” he said .
According to Time , the allegations of voter fraud made by Trump and his lawyers in public have yet to align with their statements in court .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ally — took aim at the campaign ’ s apparent lack of evidence for its sweeping allegations .
As reported by The Hill , Carlson took particular aim at Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell , who was reportedly angered when he asked her to provide proof to support her accusations of widespread voter fraud .
Conservative writer Kaylee McGhee White also took aim at Trump ’ s legal team for peddling unsubstantiated allegations of the election and noted that the administration had yet to show proof for its claims .
She wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embarrassing themselves with their recent accusations and will likely do damage to the Republican Party as a whole .
The comments came after a press conference with Rudy Giuliani , who spoke alongside Powell .
The latter claimed that Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems was built on technology created by former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and suggested that the election results were manipulated by overseas influencers to help carry Joe Biden across the finish line .

“He’s had to have made every argument he could make.”
According to Time, the allegations of voter fraud made by Trump and his lawyers in public have yet to align with their statements in court.
“In three separate lawsuits in Pennsylvania and cases in Arizona and Nevada, Trump’s lawyers have jettisoned sweeping claims of fraud, instead focusing on relatively small-bore complaints.”
Even Fox News host Tucker Carlson — a Trump ally — took aim at the campaign’s apparent lack of evidence for its sweeping allegations. As reported by The Hill, Carlson took particular aim at Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, who was reportedly angered when he asked her to provide proof to support her accusations of widespread voter fraud.
“When we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority, they told us Powell has never given any evidence either. Nor did she provide any today.”

The conservative-leaning Washington Examiner wrote on Friday that the time has come for President Donald Trump to “ concede and move on.

The Daily Show‘s Matt Negrin, meanwhile, pointed out that the Biden and his allies insisted during the election that Trump would concede when the time comes, but now claim that donations from ordinary people are necessary to proceed with the process.
Doesn’t really inspire confidence that Biden and his team misread the room on the most predictable thing of 2020 that was telegraphed a million times by the world’s worst secret keeper on camera and quite loudly — Matt Negrin, HOST OF HARDBALL AT 7PM ON MSNBC (@MattNegrin) November 20, 2020
Biden seems to enjoy the support of the billionaire class. Per Forbes, more than 70 billionaires contributed to his campaign during the general election. Five of his top contributors are worth a combined $160,4 billion, the publication noted.
According to The New York Times, progressive lawmakers and activists have pressured Biden and the Democratic Party to limit corporate influence in his administration. Nonetheless, Biden’s list of White House’s Office of Management and Budget advisers still includes executives from Lyft, Airbnb and Amazon.

inquisitr--2020-11-20--Geraldo Rivera Suggests Naming Coronavirus Vaccine After Donald Trump

On Friday , Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera floated the idea of naming the coronavirus vaccine after President Donald Trump , The Daily Beast reported .
Speaking on Fox & Friends , Rivera argued that the best way to heal the political divide in the United States and lift Trump ’ s spirits after the 2020 presidential election would be to name a vaccine after him .
“ Make it like , ‘ Have you gotten your Trump yet ?
’ It would be a nice gesture to him , and , years from now , it would become just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rivera said .
Last week , as The Daily Beast noted , the commander-in-chief took credit for the vaccine the pharmaceutical company Pfizer developed , claiming that this would not have happened without his administration ’ s support .
Rivera has previously made similar suggestions .
Earlier this week , the Fox News host said that those who want Trump to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and collaborate with the incoming Joe Biden administration should consider naming one of the vaccines after the president .
“ If you are really interested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work together to make the next administration a success , why not start with this suggestion : call the first vaccine to market , the Trump , ” Rivera tweeted .
Polling suggests that naming a coronavirus vaccine after Trump would be counterproductive .
In a September Axios-Ipsos poll , only 19 percent of respondents said they would get vaccinated on the president ’ s recommendation .
However , 62 percent said they would trust their doctor ’ s recommendation and 56 percent said they would take the vaccine if the FDA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has long spread dubious and unproven claims about vaccines .
As Business Insider reported , over the years , the business mogul has repeatedly claimed that vaccines cause autism and expressed skepticism about their efficacy .
This sparked speculation that his son , Barron Trump , is autistic .
First lady Melania has pushed back against such allegations , vowing to sue those who promote them .
As for Rivera , unlike some of his colleagues , he has acknowledged that Biden is all but certain to be the next commander-in-chief .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reporter praised Trump for the job he has done as the leader of the nation and criticized those who undermined his agenda , but noted that the time has come for the Republican to leave the White House .

Donald Trump Reportedly Skipped Meeting With World Leaders On Pandemic Preparedness, Went Golfing Instead

Donald Trump skipped out on a meeting of world leaders discussing pandemic preparedness and hit the golf course instead , a new report claims .
The meeting took place during this weekend ’ s G-20 summit , where leaders from the world ’ s top countries discussed the coronavirus pandemic .
As CNN reported , Trump did not seem overly interested in participating Saturday ’ s meetings , which were held virtually as countries around the globe have placed new restrictions in order to slow the spread of the deadly virus .
As the report noted , he tweeted during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conference focused on the coronavirus , instead heading out to his company ’ s golf course .
CNN noted that it was unclear throughout the week whether the soon-to-be former U.S. president would even take part in the virtual G-20 summit , but on Friday evening the White House released a schedule showing he was set to participate .
That participation did not last long , CNN reported .
“ When the event began , Trump was among the nearly two-dozen world leaders who appeared via video-conference , beaming in from the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted .
“ But only 13 minutes after the scheduled 8 a.m .

“ I look forward to working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he told the others in attendance ( via the Guardian ) .
Trump has long been criticized for his frequent trips to the course — especially after he had been sharply critical of Barack Obama ’ s less-frequent golfing trips — but critics have been especially vocal during the pandemic .
As The Inquisitr reported , the habit even became campaign fodder for the president ’ s opponents .
The Lincoln Project , a group of conservatives who opposed Trump , released a digital ad called “ Distracted ” that accused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus because he was spending too much time on the links .
“ Where was Trump ?
He wasn ’ t distracted , ” a narrator said during the video , which showed Trump attending crowded rallies and swinging golf clubs .
“ He had plenty to do .
Like campaign rallies and golfing.
” Critics have also accused Trump of shirking his responsibilities with regard to the the virus , going several days without making any public statements despite nationwide surges in cases and record numbers of daily infections .

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed on Friday that her Twitter DMs “ finally got fixed , ” which prompted an inevitable wave of jokes about hitting on the New York City congresswoman .

And also like catcalling , for some reason they feel entitled to one , ” she wrote .
Shapiro promptly responded the next morning by brushing off her suggestion that his offer was motivated by “ bad intentions.
” The conservative commentator has taken aim at Ocasio-Cortez on many other occasions over the years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has taken a liking to her .
“ Starting to think Ben Shapiro may have a crush on AOC , ” activist Nathan Bernard tweeted in response to Shapiro ’ s retweet of Karen Tumulty ’ s comment on the “ adorable ” politician ’ s old dancing video .

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed on Friday that her Twitter DMs “finally got fixed,” which prompted an inevitable wave of jokes about hitting on the New York City congresswoman. Among the most common were jabs at conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and his purported affection for the 31-year-old New Yorker.

Ocasio-Cortez and Shapiro have a history of clashing with each other. As reported by The New York Times, Shapiro challenged the congresswoman to a debate and offered to give her campaign $10,000 for agreeing to the event. The offer came just months after the then-freshman politician defeated incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley in June.
In response to the offer, Ocasio-Cortez likened the proposal to catcalling.
“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one,” she wrote.
Shapiro promptly responded the next morning by brushing off her suggestion that his offer was motivated by “bad intentions.”
“Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however.”
The conservative commentator has taken aim at Ocasio-Cortez on many other occasions over the years, which has fueled speculation that he has taken a liking to her.
“@benshapiro totally has a crush on @AOC. It’s cute,” tweeted producer Andrew Kimmel.
“Starting to think Ben Shapiro may have a crush on AOC,” activist Nathan Bernard tweeted in response to Shapiro’s retweet of Karen Tumulty’s comment on the “adorable” politician’s old dancing video.
Now she's totally done for. Newly unearthed video reveals that when @AOC was in college, she was … adorable. https://t.co/EkqXTrQSAo — Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty) January 3, 2019
As The Inquisitr reported, Shapiro has brushed off claims that he has an obsession with Ocasio-Cortez and argued that his comments are driven by policy debate. But as noted by one Twitter user at the time, Shapiro’s publication, The Daily Wire, ran five different articles on the politician in the last 48 hours, and the conservative had tweeted about her over 20 times since the prior afternoon. The tweets, the commentator noted, appeared to be unprompted by any specific issue.
Nevertheless, Shapiro continues to make it clear that he does not support Ocasio-Cortez’s political beliefs. In an op-ed for the Pittsburg Post-Gazette earlier this year, he took aim at the congresswoman’s views on the ethics of billionaires, who she argued must give up their power and control to decrease worker exploitation. Conversely, Shapiro claimed that the progressive is advocating for “government control.”
“Worker collectives won’t do the trick. Only top-down government redefinition of the value of labor will,” he said her argument suggested.

Mitch McConnell Accused Of Defying 123-Year Tradition To Appoint Trump Judges But Stalling Coronavirus Relief

Sen. Mitch McConnell is coming under fire for breaking a 123-year tradition by pushing through Donald Trump ’ s judicial nominees , with critics saying he is ignoring the need for a new coronavirus relief bill to instead focus on packing the courts .
In the weeks since Trump lost the election , Senate Republicans have confirmed six of the president ’ s nominees to district courts , earning some sharp criticism .
As Salon reported , one of those appointed was a 33-year-old attorney who was rated as “ not qualified ” by the American Bar Association .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidents who lost re-election or whose party was defeated have not been confirmed since 1897 , with the exception of future Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer being appointed to a circuit court position in 1980 .
As Salon added , the push to appoint Trump ’ s judges during his final weeks in office comes as Senate Republicans not moved forward on a new coronavirus package .
McConnell has taken heat for the failure to bring his party to pass new legislation , the report noted .
“ The House passed a $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a $ 2.2 trillion compromise offer last month , ” Salon noted .
“ McConnell has refused to budge from his $ 500 billion offer , even though economists say the country needs at least 400 % more in relief funding to get through the winter.
” McConnell has vowed to continue moving forward in confirming the president ’ s judges , but has come under increasing criticism for not prioritizing a new stimulus package .
Many Democrats have called out the Kentucky Republican for the lack of progress on a new deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the pandemic .
“ Reminder : a COVID relief bill has been sitting on Mitch McConnell ’ s desk for 50 days while millions struggle to keep food on the table , ” tweeted California Rep. Barbara Lee .
Others have used the lack of action from McConnell and his caucus on coronavirus legislation to encourage Democrats to turn out in the upcoming U.S. Senate runoff races in Georgia , which have the potential to flip control to Democrats .
If the party can win both races , it would bring their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP that would allow Vice President Kamala Harris to cast tie-breaking votes .
“ This is what Georgia ’ s senate runoff elections mean : strong COVID relief , $ 15 minimum wage , expanded healthcare , tackling climate change , addressing systemic racism and immigration reform – and removing Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader .
Let ’ s do it , ” tweeted Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders .
