What do you expect from the tRump campaign the day after he loses?

What do you expect from him and his team, and how can we be prepared?

I've shared Gene Sharp's the Anti-Coup, available for free download from the Albert Einstein Institution website, many times.

Much less a female. I think it's a safe bet he'll fabricate some kind of bullshit story that will allow him to save face among his immediate family and supporters. That's what this whole 'it's rigged' thing is about, if it isn't an outright step to prepare for a coup.

He'll say one or two things that Hillary will be able to turn into a positive. Mostly he'll claim the election was rigged, "but look we all knew that".

I don't care much about whether or not he concedes. Pence and some other republicans will concede.

It'll be similar to Sarah Palin. We'll continue making fun of him until it's plain boring.

The Bush campaign was organized and could create an instant group. Trump's campaign is chaos and run by idiots.
