This is funny. Nancy Pelosi is said to have worried that Trump won’t stop down in 2020 if the Democrats defeat him. That would surely be unconstitutional, but that actually made Democrats and liberals ANGRY at her!!!
That’s because they are demanding they impeach tomorrow, and Nancy ain’t about that life.
NANCY PELOSI: Trump is a dangerous dictator who will refuse to step down from office if he loses the 2020 election.

ALSO PELOSI: Impeachment? “He’s just not worth it”. https://t.co/Eholf6aQoX
Here’s what she said exactly:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is concerned President Donald Trump will not voluntarily step down unless Democrats win by a “big” enough margin in 2020 that he doesn’t contest the results, the New York Times reported Saturday.
In an interview with the newspaper this week, the Democratic leader expressed worry over a scenario where Trump would not accept the election results if he were to lose re-election by a slim margin, the Times reported.
“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Pelosi told the newspaper Wednesday.
Pelosi told the Times she had worried that Trump would “poison the public mind” and “challenge each of the races” if Democrats didn’t win by an overwhelming majority in 2018.
I would hope that doesn’t happen, but I am sure many would support his decision. In any case, libs are freaking out:

Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in America, believes she is powerless. She appears to believe Trump will soon declare himself king. This is a very sad story. pic.twitter.com/jHTM7kR8kE

When Nancy Pelosi shrugs off her actual RESPONSIBILITY and DUTY and citing "It's not worth it", then she is JUST AS BAD as Trump because she too is being lawless in not fulfilling her duties. https://t.co/PDqOfjbQqa

And then there’s Bill Maher is saying “I told you so”:
I see Nancy Pelosi (joining Michael Cohen a few months ago)is now on my page about the danger of Trump not leaving even if he loses. You’re welcome, America.

I think she’s just saying that to try to motivate Democrats to vote. If he does lose, it would be a horrible thing for him to deny the outcome unless there’s real non-inforwards non-sean-hannity level evidence that it actually happened. But in any case, it’s fun to watch Democrats writhing in anger and frustration.
That’s it for Sunday. I hope you all had a great weekend.
Have an open thread! Here’s some comment fodder:
