You know what is scary when Trump loses?

There could be riots in the streets and people fighting each other? I fear this because they(Trump followers) can't handle the truth & loosing, then you have Trump calling for the violence. I hope and pray that this doesn't happen. I travel all over the country for the most part, I hear strange, stupid & dangerous things come out of people's mouths. It amazes me that people can be influenced by the what they hear. Now, it is at the point of no return. It will mark this country for ever if this does happen.

Hopefully these "loosers" actually know how to spell. Because if they CAN spell correctly, they might actually not be the losers we think they are.

minds. He did it again last night on a stage in Altoona Pennsylvania.What is the main reason that these nuts think is the purpose of the Second Amendment ? To rise up against government tyranny. I argue that Trump is currently the greatest threat to our national security.

Other Republican candidates have at least not called for violence, and I think Tea Partiers probably held their noses to vote for Romney. I think it would be pleasing to Trump's ego if people were willing to kill people over his loss. He would love being instrumental in chaos.

6. Yes, as Andy Borowitz says, even if he loses his voters are still out there.

And they are going to be on the warpath. Trump has opened up a Pandora's box and I'm afraid there is nothing that is going to undo that.

...most of them are fucking cowards. Big talk in the locker room, but they shrink like a set of mincy, little balls when they're asked to lace them up and get on the playing field.

10. Well, if he should file a lawsuit, it would be a benefit to us?

Pres. Obama would stay in office longer & though would go against everything that the GOP wants!

On January 20, 2017, if there is no designated elected president ready to assume the duties of the post, can Obama continue as an "acting president" or would it require a bill passed by both Houses of Congress (good luck with that!) to let him stay on?

In other words, does the presidency of Barak Obama end on January 20, 2017 or whenever the new president takes the Oath of Office?

Peer pressure will keep the crazies hiding at home.

More and more people each day are seeing the light.

They won't want to be known as one Trumps crazy losers.

The more moderate republicans will begin to remake their party shunning the tea party types.

It matters if 40% of the country votes for a virtual fascist. Political movements are about momentum. When Trump started, he had a ceiling of 25% of the vote among Republican primary voters only. Those freaks will be back in two years. I'm not confidant that all the people voting blue will. Historically, first-term Democratic presidents bring on a Democratic clobbering in the mid term congressional elections. It happened in 1978, 1994, and 2010.

The odds against Clinton being reelected are humongous, by the way. No party since WW2 has won four presidential elections in a row. Honestly, I fear Clinton is only winning now because she's running against a kamikaze candidate. Only Ted Cruz could've done worse than Trump. This is going to be a close election. Clinton needs as blue a Congress as she can get. We have to produce big results in a short time frame or history will repeat itself.

You won't find a single person who will admit to supporting him or voting for him. Those beer-bellied crazies with their guns and their American flag do-rags will all deny him three times before the cock crows. They have no moral center or real courage. They're all a bunch of frightened rabbits, which is why they've latched onto a tough talking bully in the first place.
