Of course when he loses he will not defer graciously to the will of the people. He will gnash his teeth and decry the vast conspiracy that robbed him of the presidency. Given how angry and gullible the core of his support is I hope this does not encourage a significant uptick in political violence. Candidates are supposed to accept their loss for the good of the country. I just cannot imagine the Donald giving a concession speech that does not sound like a call to arms. Then again, maybe he will just say, “Your loss……losers!!!”

Not to want to sound like Debbie Downer here, but unfortunately I have the unmistakeable feeling that a “significant uptick in political violence” is going to be the hallmark of post-election America in 2017 and for a while.
IMO, Donald Trump’s near-maniacal support among the right wing in this country is an indicator of the weakness of desperation: desperation that their extremist agenda is going be substantively rejected by the nation as a whole. And the desperation of extremists rarely works out well - for anyone.
