(8,869 posts)there are many many possible outcomes..........
Some possibilities, if he loses, are horrific and nightmarish at a minimum.
Of course, if he wins, the possibilities of what the Republicans/Trump feeling newly empowered to do, are also equally nightmarish....
AND of course the Supreme Court already illegally and un-constitutionally decided the 2000 election, so now they can claim a precedence for awarding it to Trump in the same manner.
Whether he wins or loses, it could be cataclysmic in the final outcome.
I fully suspect, with nothing being done about Russian interference and with nothing being done about corrupt voting machines, and corrupt voter registration and corrupt gerrymandering, that Trump will win in a landslide........
We all should live the next 300+ days to the fullest..........

(8,869 posts)If you truly stop to think about all that has happened, all that has been done, what is currently being done, and what they will probably do........you will go crazy...........
It is disturbingly similar to a game of chess, where every time you move, your opponent says CHECK..........
If anyone thinks that they are about to give up with their COUP, after coming this far, you are mistaken.
Being this close to pulling it off, with the end in sight, the Republicans will stop at NOTHING to succeed.......

(28,816 posts)totally blindsided. i seriously cannot imagine it happening again.
i hope he's gone before then, but that's a long shot. much more likely that he will lose, but who knows what dirty tricks the republicans will play to hang on to power. it's scary.

(25,920 posts)All I knew at that point that Hillary had lost some state she'd been expected to win, but would still no doubt when the election. My my radio went off the next morning, BBC news was on. I honestly felt like I'd entered an alternate universe, because the announcer seemed to be talking about President Trump.

(3,660 posts)So, when a series of red states came in, the wife seemed shocked and said "He's winning all of them." But, I assured her that he was only winning states we figured he would win anyway, and it was no biggee. So, she turned in and I stayed up to keep watching. About 10 or so something didn't seem right, but I was now tired and turned in myself, hoping for the best.
I woke up about three. My phone is not of the smart variety, so I had to go downstairs and turn on the tv to see what was happening/had happened. I'll never forget when the tv came on, and I saw an electoral map, and next to the picture of that idiot was his electoral college total, and it started with a "3." I damn near fell over.
I went upstairs, and as I came into the bedroom I was wrestling with waking her up to tell her, or just letting her have a few more hours of peaceful oblivion. But, I didn't want to be alone right then, so I woke her up with a simple "He won." She started crying. I called off work that day and we listened to Progressive radio the rest of the morning.
