A depressing thought

Along with worrying about what Donald's supporters are going to do when Hillary wins the presidency, I just realized something...

Trump's not going to go away.

Trump's never actually lost at something so public before. Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University... all busts for him. His real estate... Well, we'll probably never get to the bottom of that quagmire, and he always has that to return to to say to the world, "Look, I just opened up another casino/golf course/whatever. You can't believe how much class this place has got blah-blah-blah," in order to soothe his ego.

Not this time though. This is the biggest endeavor he's ever undertaken, and he's going to lose... to a woman he doesn't find attractive (because she's at least twice the age of women he's looking at to replace his current wife). The moment something happens in Hillary's term that is negative, he's going to get in front of cameras and go off. "See, if the election hadn't been rigged, I would have been president and whatever this totally-out-of-anyone's-control situation is would never have happened. That's the kind of president I would have been. I would have been the best president ever."

Unless he passes, we can expect 4 to 8 years of this.

1. It isn't Trump to be concerned about, it is the loons that follow him. They are the angry white folk

I'm white as hell, but I think they are pathetic. They expect to be first in line, but do not want to earn that spot. They show on a daily basis just how ignorant and racist they are. They also show daily that they are afraid of their own shadows.

4. Yup. Trump will spend the next few years pouting

in his faux-Louis IV bordello-decorated penthouse with his phone (is it mean to hope he has a Samsung Galaxy Note 7?), tweeting furiously. His followers will be hanging on his every tweet, looking for permission to sharpen their pitchforks and light their torches and find some liberals, women, Muslims, etc. to rough up.

...for the next 4 years about how much better off we'd be if he were president:

Don't get depressed. Laugh.

Trump himself isn't really scary because he's too obvious and too politically inept.

So he sticks around after he loses? Good, I'll welcome the comic relief.

What worries me is his replacement. Trump created a lot of room for someone to be heinously bigoted but to deny that they're as bad as trump.

Remember the good ole days when ann coulter was the lunatic fringe? Pat Buchanan?

I don't know where republicans go from here, but I'm not holding my breath for another Nelson Rockefeller.

8. He's lost many times.

He just renames those losses, calls them "smart" business. He's already calling his loss to Hillary the result of a "rigged" election; he might later claim that he lost on purpose because he was practicing "smart" politics to show us what's what. But he will never admit failure, no matter how blatantly obvious it is.
