The Spirit Walks In Darkness
"What we need now, more than ever, is a return to normalcy. This president has discarded allies, disregarded experts in their field and sought to shred basic norms of both the law and fundamental decency. If we are to move forward as a country, we need to reestablish who we are as a country."
-Former Vice President Joe Biden, August 7, 2020
"Look, folks, Sleepy Joe-he's a loser. He's a pushover, Nobody respects him like they respect me. We beat ISIS, we beat the invisible enemy-we've won so much over the last four years. If Biden-he'll roll over. And we'll lose as a country. It'll be a disaster. A huge mistake."

-Headlines of The Washington Post, September-October 2020
"At this moment, with less than three days left to go before the election, it seems likely that Biden will emerge triumphant given his consistent lead over Trump in the polls. However, caution is important given that the Clinton campaign four years ago lost crucial momentum in the final days leading up to Election Day. Additionally there remains the concern regarding how the Republicans will react to a defeat-Trump has regularly tweeted about voter fraud and the 'outbreak hoax' being a Democratic ploy to drive down turnout."
-Ezra Klein writing in Vox, November 2, 2020
"ELECTION RIGGED BY DIRTY DEMS! I will not stand for this cheating from Sleepy Joe. See you in court!"
-Donald Trump on Twitter, November 5, 2020
"The president's refusal to accept reality is disappointing, but unsurprising. We have a clear mandate from American voters and expect that Trump will fail in his effort to steal this election from its legitimate winner."
-Biden campaign spokeswoman Symone Sanders, November 7, 2020
"As an Arizonan, I stand by the president 200%. There were major voting irregularities in this state and I honestly don't see how Arizona could have gone Democrat by the margins we've seen without illegal voting. I think we must investigate and, if the Biden campaign did in fact cheat, he ought to be charged with treason."
-Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward, November 9, 2020
"This president's efforts to outright steal a presidential election are flagrantly unacceptable. This demonstrates an extreme unfitness for office and must not go unchallenged."
-Representative Steny Hoyer introducing the second round of articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, November 11, 2020
"These impeachment charges are clearly political and partisan in nature. It is the Senate's right to determine whether an impeachment trial is to be pursued and given all of the irregularities in this election, I do not deem it appropriate to dignify these charges with a trial."

"The moves by the Trump administration to usurp the results of a legitimate and fair election are absolutely unacceptable. The signatories of this Compact-consisting of 26 states-recognize Joe Biden as the legitimate president of the United States and Kamala Harris as the legitimate vice president of the United States. We will not obey the orders of an aspiring autocrat."

-Headlines of The Washington Post, December 2020
"As of this moment, the United States Armed Forces is stuck in a very uncomfortable position given the contested nature of the presidential election. Around a quarter of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been dismissed by Trump for encouraging him to concede power to Biden, though Biden supporters and certain units of the armed forces continue to recognize them as key military leadership. As of this time, neither Biden nor Trump have attempted to issue orders to the Armed Forces, though this will likely change in the near future. However, it is unclear which side they will ultimately come down on-the military's generally conservative lean has been weakened by Trump's rhetoric surrounding the 'deep state' and isolationist sympathies coupled with Biden's own moderation and the fact Biden internationally has more recognition as America's legitimate leader than Trump (who counts among those recognizing his government many traditional American rivals such as Russia and autocracies such as Turkey, Egypt and Hungary)."
