When Trump loses,

[reflection]

I can't help but think he's going to direct his followers to tear the Republican party to pieces. In Trump's mind, he is never responsible for something bad. And he obviously doesn't like to lose.

I believe Hillary will crush him, even with her negatives, and when she does Trump will throw a fit like the political world has never seen.

I watched one of his rallies yesterday and it was utterly devoid of any content. He was just rambling off a list of cities in which he was holding other rallies. I bet the entire inside of his house is covered in mirrors so he can see an infinite number of himself. His fall will not be graceful.

Ymmv, void where prohibited, etc.

[First Speaker]

1. I wouldn't be surprised if he refuses to concede defeat...

...even to the point of trying to subvert the Electoral College--possibly by open threats. I think he is capable of anything.

[In_The_Wind]

2. Sigh, too true.

[MFM008]

6. Agree

[world wide wally]

17. I'm sure he will sue someone.... probably all of us

[MFM008]

38. im waiting for the rumpster to sue

his own family.....

[RKP5637]

28. IMO he's an extremely dangerous individual and unstable. n/t

[gwheezie]

3. I'm baffled by his ge strategery

His Tampa speech rehashed the primary races. It makes no sense and he reads off poll numbers, how is this a campaign?

[athena]

19. Trump is not as stupid as he looks.

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/06/23/why-trump-was-inevitable/

One of the main reasons many political commentators were surprised by Donald Trump’s success in the primaries was his willingness to take extreme positions and use unusually harsh rhetoric in talking about immigration and related issues. Indeed, Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants and Muslims have been at the center of his campaign. And his pronouncements on these topics have greatly concerned many Republican leaders and elected officials who feared they would harm the party’s image and damage its electoral prospects. But how did his positions and comments play with Republican primary voters?

The clear answer is that they reflected the views of likely Republican voters extremely well. We asked a series of questions about Trump’s controversial proposals (banning Muslims from entering the US, building a wall on the Mexican border, and identifying and deporting illegal immigrants). On all three issues overwhelming majorities of likely Republican voters supported his positions: almost three quarters (73 percent) favored banning Muslims from entering the US, 90 percent favored identifying and deporting illegal immigrants as quickly as possible, and 85 percent favored building a wall on the Mexican border.

Trump supporters were more in favor of these proposals than supporters of other candidates, but ... large majorities of likely Republican voters who did not support Trump for the nomination did support Trump’s positions on his three central issues. Almost two thirds favored his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US and four fifths favored building the wall and identifying and deporting illegal immigrants. In fact 60 percent of non-Trump supporters took his position on all three of his distinctive issues.

37. Immigration is the only glue he has with his followers

and when he loses, or is bumped by the RNC, he will get busy saving his hotels, gambling on the proven loss of memory the american people have.

Sadly alot of Dems, Liberals and Libertarians also believe immigrants should all be vetted stringently like many countries concerned with employing their own citizens first.

[sorefeet]

4. A guy told me if Trump loses

and Hillary wins, that he would hold me responsible for everything that goes wrong after that. He loves Trump. Plus he is nuts.

[PJMcK]

8. Get a body guard! (n/t)

[SCantiGOP]

9. Or start open-carrying.

(Just kidding, kind of)

[PJMcK]

10. I'm afraid to make gun jokes around here

[SCantiGOP]

11. I know

But I would not hesitate to have a gun available if I actually thought my family or me were in real danger. A pistol, not some penis-envy AK-47.
But you're right, it's not a joking matter.

[elmac]

24. Most of these Trump supporters have a bigger bark then bite

they would probably wet their pants at the first sign of a conflict. The only thing you need to watch out for is behind the back sneaky stuff.

[Thinkingabout]

5. He continues to self destruct.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. As one mentioned earlier,

expect Trump to drag out his defeat to the Courts and the House of Representatives. The Guy will never admit to defeat.

[Tess49]

14. Can you imagine the tantrum he'll throw? It will be something to see!! n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

30. Just read a piece about this guy's

ability to bullsh*t his way through life and make and take millions of dollars. One would think by now,the money crowd he so wants to be with would have cut his water off. The Guy is a narcissistic friggen bully.

[Tess49]

34. A narcissistic bully who would cut off his nose to spite his face. At the rate he's going, there

won't be anyone left that he hasn't insulted by the time the election happens.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. What really does not make a lick of sense is.

This Guy is in the one of the most prestigious Cocktail Circuits in the World and these folks have not pulled the plug on him or his Spouse. Are these people just that blind or uncaring as to what is going on or so out of touch with reality.

[Tess49]

36. That's a good question. Maybe they don't want to tick him off. A lot of those people probably

benefit from their association with him. He's vindictive as hell. Never know what he might do to someone who is disloyal.

[Hekate]

12. Months ago I predicted that Republican women will be our secret weapon.In the privacy of the booth

...they will express their opinion of Trump, as he has expressed his opinion of them. I am very glad to see so many female GOP political leaders start to come over to our side, because it matters. I would love to see some specific outreach from us, as well.

[Tess49]

16. One of my very republican friends said she would never vote for Trump. Citing the

way he treats and mocks women, the racism etc. Plus, she thinks that he's mentally ill.

[Hekate]

31. Encourage those thoughts! I think he's nuts, too.

One of the (male) pundits on the GOP side said that Hillary is not what they want, but she is within normal parameters (he means sane and stable and knowledgeable about government) -- whereas Trump is completely unacceptable and will wreck the country.

I plan to use some of that if the opportunity arises.

[Tess49]

32. I encouraged her and agreed with everything she had to say about creep donald. She defines

herself politically as a moderate conservative. She's afraid of him.

[IronLionZion]

26. I've been reminding conservatives that they don't have to vote for any candidate

they can leave the president field blank if they can't stomach either of them.

Trump supporters will likely make threats and use scare tactics. But the voting booth is private and no one will ever know if someone doesn't vote for Trump.

Telling them to stay home on election day would be ideal but may be too transparent in decreasing their votes for downticket races.

[GulfCoast66]

13. I screwed my courage to the sticking point

After reading the OP and following posts, I then went to the right wing site that I will not mention.

There are lots of them predicting/hoping for open warfare so they can use their arsenals. While we know most are just living a fantasy, but when Hillary destroys trump there will be some violence.

We all know that with the changing demographics and the liberal beliefs of the young in this country, republicans as they now exist have a short shelf life. And celebrate it.

Well, while loath to admit it, the right knows it as well. Most will move left to remain a viable opposition party , I strongly believe that a good many are looking for a gotterdammerung ending.

[wiggs]

15. What's awesome will be that he sues the RNC for everything they have. Trump has

spent time and money on the campaign, a 'priceless' sacrifice, and the RNC and rest of GOP worked against him. He will seek not only recompense but lost value to his name, brand, and his destiny. The amount will be astronomical, and the RNC will settle, and Trump will have enriched himself through this process despite spending a minor amount of money on the primary. He will either win the general election or a huge amount of money...and I bet he's hoping for the money!

[world wide wally]

18. This is actually a fantastic strategy for the general elecion!

If we can get everyone talking about what Trump will do if he loses, millions more people won't go out to vote for him just to see what actually happens... .I love it!

[IronLionZion]

27. I like the way you think!

[mehrrh]

20. Implosion then explosion

I would expect nothing less than a tantrum of gigantic proportions when he loses, to be quickly followed by violence and extreme reactions from his avid fans who will have collectively gone insane.

[meow2u3]

21. Then either Obama or Hillary will have to send the National Guard to put down the insurrection

Followed by the immediate arrest of Trump for inciting insurrection, God willing.

[IronLionZion]

22. It won't even be close

it will be a Hillary landslide. Both America's first black president and female president will have been elected by very significant mandates. The voters will reject that unqualified racist buffoon.

Don't let the media convince us that it will be competitive. It's not. Trump is way way behind in campaign maturity, endorsements, party unity, fundraising, ground staff, and experience. His arrogance and handling of the media won't get him very far. Hillary is battle hardened and wicked smart and is surrounded by competent advisors and an army of loyal supporters who won't hesitate to destroy anyone who gets in their way. Trump's supporters are violent and loud, but they are not as loyal to him as Hillary's.

Competent people don't want to work for him because he's such an asshole and it would end their careers to be associated with a loser.

But let's not get complacent either. We can win this but it takes work.

[LS_Editor]

23. How many times has the Republican Party's destruction been predicted here?

[ThoughtCriminal]

25. When Trump loses, the GOP will...

Do what it has always done: Move farther to the right.

If trump wins, the GOP will do what it always does: Move farther to the right.

If turnip shaped space aliens land, turn every cow in North Dakota inside out and then leave, the GOP will... Move farther to the right!

If you are going to cont the number of times the conservative right is going to double-down on stupid, you had better declare the variable as a long integer, or better yet, a long long integer. And even then it's going to overflow sooner than you expected.

[yeoman6987]

29. His demise has been written for over a year. I don't predict anything.

5 months is ten life times in politics. Hillary needs to just convince the voters she's the right choice.

[Thinkingabout]

33. He just may laugh the whole election off, May say he did this just to show how naive many

People who supports him, it was nothing but a big joke. I am not sure he even wants the job.

[Cordy]

39. The Legal Issues Won't Go Away

Trump has a lot of legal issues coming up. The College issue, Worker wages, a possible criminal indictment for raping a 13 year old girl, or several more if they come forward, and election violations. That is what I see Trump embroiled in after he loses. He might be left penniless this time around. He claims he is already broke.

[patricia92243]

40. What?? I have not heard anything about raping a 13 year old girl. link???
