Prediction

After Hillary demolishes Trump and becomes the FIRST WOMAN POTUS, Trump and his henchmen will declare that he lost because illegal immigrants were allowed to vote and she has no right to the presidency.

He'll be wailing it was rigged. I'm certain legal challenges will be attempted. Let's pray, in the aftermath, his supporters keep it peaceful.

2. I honestly don't give a bug rat's ass what his supporters do or think when he loses.

They might try legal challenges, but even in a crazy state like TX they would have a problem getting a federal judge to listen. They will go back into their caves they call home and be miserable for the rest of their lives - just like they would be if Trump won, but he won't.

Birthers launched over 225 frivolous lawsuits against President Obama and they went nowhere.

Funded by billionaires, yet they need twenty-five bucks from me or that's it.

How did they get my email address you're asking? While I don't blame Tim Canova personally, at the end of his run against DWS, his campaign apparently gave/sold my info to some interests in Wisconsin. Right after their emails stopped, I started getting emails from the radical right. Even though these new emails are very entertaining, I'm still kinda mad.

It is no accident that Obama has said post-POTUS that he wants to work on voter suppression, gerrymandering, and reinstating the voter rights bill. And that's what we need to do also. The message has to be never-ending GOTV for the midterms, and "stronger together." Hopefully, Hispanics have come to realize that their each and every vote matters.

We must deliberately crush the memes that "both parties are the same, all politicians are bad, and voting doesn't change anything." We must shame people who voice those memes, making such talk extremely politically incorrect. Maybe even worse than using the N-word.

NARRATOR:
But with damning evidence of racial discrimination, the company was forced to settle. Nevertheless, Donald didn’t admit any wrongdoing and even declared the outcome a victory.

TONY SCHWARTZ:
This is a classic example of where Trump begins to demonstrate something he talks about all the time today, which is he’s a counterpuncher. . . .

Never admit anything. Never say you made a mistake. Just keep coming. And if you lose, declare victory.

And that’s exactly what happened there. He lost as clearly as you can lose, but he loudly proclaimed his victory.


Hillary won't be getting a "concession" call. Trump will never concede.

He will "loudly proclaim his victory." threatening to sue one more of the elector rich states he loses. He'll concoct some sort of grounds -- grounds that would be dismissed out of hand.

He'll never file the lawsuits. The story will "fade away," but he will continue to declare victory. His minions will forever remain convinced that the bogus grounds were legitimate.
