Donald trump will not accept the election result

He will be planting the seeds now in his supporters minds, he knows he
cant win, hes hoping for some type of Florida situation, where the courts
will just make him president.

He wont debate at all, election day will be nasty and vicious, his supporters
will go off at anyone standing in line whos a minority.

Its going to get worse and worse till election day.

I honesty think he will get to the stage where he says something like,
"The election needs to be cancelled, Hillary is rigging it"

When Hillary wins the election, he wont stop, Im sure of it.

We have mail in voting here, so no worries about 'guarding' polling places, but I would expect a reprise of the Bush years, on steroids in many states.

who was bolstered by the media, he will not find support. I blame television reporters for a lot of what happened in 2000. I don't believe that would happen now.

I actually think she is going to beat him badly and that it will be an early night. Fingers crossed.

but, like Sarah Palin grifting the public before him, he has gotten too used to the bright lights and adoring crowds to quit completely.

That way he can manage the blow to his ego and ensure that he won't actually have to do any work, because he won't win.

Increasingly people believe democracy means they get their way. Trump and his supporters are not alone in that assumption, and it reveals something very disturbing about our culture. We have a population that rails against any information or outcome that doesn't reaffirm their egos.
