Trump’s challenge is over HotAir

There s no predicting how Mr. Trump will behave. He rarely takes our advice we said in January 2017 that he should fire James Comey upon taking office and perhaps he will continue his stolen election claims past Jan. 20. Perhaps he can t admit to himself that he lost. Perhaps he hopes to nurture resentment to run again in 2024.

But bitterness as a political strategy rarely wears well. If Republicans lose the Georgia Senate runoffs on Jan. 5, Mr. Trump will deserve much of the blame. If election protests turn to violence in the streets, as they did on the weekend in Washington, he will be blamed whether he deserves it or not. Mrs. Clinton s example of still claiming she was cheated, four years later, hasn t enhanced her reputation.

There s a time to fight, and a time to concede.
