If Trump loses the nomination he’ll simply return to Mar-a-Lago and ‘carp and moan and complain,’ said Christie

Chris Christie doesn’t expect Donald Trump to concede if he loses any primary election.

The former New Jersey governor was discussing focusing his campaign efforts on New Hampshire with Jonathan Karl on “This Week” when he was asked if he believes Trump would concede in a primary he loses.

“I don’t care,” Christie responded.

He explained “no one will expect” Trump to concede based on the fact that he still hasn’t publicly admitted he lost the 2020 presidential election — or given up his unfounded claims of widespread election fraud.

    Um…you might want to pay more attention. Trump is either very close or outright leading in the polls.

    The Trump people stopped reading mainstream articles a long time ago. If ABC, NBC, and CBS all stopped talking about him, the Fox / Newsmax people would never know.

        That’s the exact same shit we were all saying in 2016, even on election night. I went to sleep and most of the map was blue. I woke up and the world dramatically changed.

        Betting odds are not generally a reliable indicator of outcomes, because they are typically set based on the bets that have been received to ensure that, no matter what the outcome is, the house wins. While generally speaking, bettors will place bets according to what they think the most likely outcome is, making odds an OK proxy for crowd-sourcing opinions, there will be systematic bias which throws things off.
