So how does that work in the event of a Bush/Gore situation in Florida?

Trump has been playing the angle of the Clinton family having their hands in everything - this is simply an extension of this angle (same thing he said with regards to fake protesters bought out by Hillary's campaign to instigate fights with Trump supporters at the Chicago rally).

Nothing he has said or done has reassembled anything presidential all year. Fuck this clown. I'm counting down the days to his eternal irrelevance.

Yeah, about that. His business has taken a huge hit since his run, people don't want to throw charity events on his resorts anymore and his hotels in blue state are down massively YOY in visitors. His Washington hotel is offering 4 star presidential pad accommodations for a fraction of what the other top hotels in Washington are offering due to his brand toxicity.

So, yeah. He'll go back to running something, alright.

What is your source? Do you have access to Trump Enterprises financial statements? Doubt so given it's a privately-owned company.

I think it's just a foreshadowing of the temper tantrums and whining we will hear from him as he attempts to stay in the media spotlight.
 
Edit: Posted in the wrong thread.

But like every time he incites violence, I can only hope that none of his deranged supporters take him up on his incitement.

There is no reason to be. He is a whiny little bitch and so are his supporters.

The GOP will cut ties and accept the results. Normal Americans will move on.

Don't be afraid of people that throw tantrums. They have no power over us.

They are whiny bitches with lots of anger, little self control, and plenty of guns. I can see someone urging folks that they should exercise the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms for the purposes of forming a standing militia to oppose "tyranny".

Why does this matter? I don't know how these elections work.

The entire foundation of the presidency of the united state is built upon non-violent succession of command. Every 4 to 8 years in America, for hundreds of years, we have peacefully changed leadership. Part of this agreement is a belief in the political process. This is something all parties agree upon, that isn't a partisan issue at all.

Implying that the process is a sham is one of the most serious allegations one can make. It is the type of insinuation that could theoretically invite violent revolution. Which is why it's way, way more disgusting that such a serious charge is being levied in a way that amount to a billionaire throwing a temper tantrum, screaming "If I lose, it's rigged, if I win, it's fair!"

Fuck this asshole

Here is an article about just his DC hotels, for example:

He might not be wrong. Take Trump’s latest, most lavish venture: the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which has become a focal point for grievances against the unconventional Republican presidential candidate.

The 263-room five-star hotel in the historic Old Post Office building opened last month. But even with a prime location near the White House, swanky interiors, and aggressive promotion by the candidate himself, empty rooms have forced the hotel to reduce rates during a peak season. At the same time, the hotel has lost two planned restaurants, Hispanic employees are making claims of discrimination, and protesters are gearing up to do whatever they can to cause trouble for the hotel.

..

Last weekend bankers and dignitaries from around the world descended on Washington for the annual World Bank–IMF meetings. But just a few days before the conference, rooms were not only still available at Trump International, they were heavily discounted. On October 2, a deluxe room, with a rack rate of $805, could be had for as low $445 a night on Hotels.com. All other five-star D.C. downtown hotels were sold out. By Wednesday, October 5, weekend stays in the deluxe rooms were marked down to $404 per night on Trump International’s own website. The more luxurious 500-square-foot executive rooms, with a city view and marble bath, were only $484. By comparison, at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown, the only available rooms were $1,139 per night, according to Hotels.com.

Here is a broader article as well as to the problems facing the Trump organization now.

His brand is toxic. Anyone who supports Trump is a racist, misogynist, bigot or xenophobe, and now that's what his brand means. Unsurprisingly, many people are not going to support that sort of thing with their money.
 
Sort of ironic that Trump saying he will not accept the results of the election was basically him... accepting the result of the election.

It could very easily become dangerous. He has millions of people who believe every word he says and might go too far in that belief.

Imagine armed Trump supporters "guarding" polling locations, looking out for voter fraud.

Or imagine disgruntled Trump supporters who feel cheated and lash out after the election with assassination attempts.

Some guy was on the news the other day basically saying he was down for an assassination. Trump is urging his supporters to watch polls, you don't think any of them are gonna be looking for anything to fight about?

No offense, but I'd rather wait until credible outlets like FT, WSJ, CNBC, etc. run similar stories. This being said, I get your point, although you are wrong to put millions of Americans in the same basket of deplorables as HRC did.
 
For all the imperfections of this electoral Frankenstein's monster we rely on to vote, Donald did a great job stabbing at whatever was good about it and leaving us all bereft in the process. He is only a ruiner, a destroyer. Curse him and the next seven generations of his demon seed.

I'd like to see them try and see how far their gun nut fantasies can go against a well trained army. They would give up real quick.

Edit: Trump's Rebellion started at 10:00am ended at 10:05am when the tanks rolled in.

The US has had to occupy lots of hostile territory to reign in the people. See: California, Civil War, etc. If they have to do it again, then they'll just have to do it again.

A standing militia formed by people will do jackshit against 10 tanks.

Well of course they won't beat tanks. It's not a game of civilization where you're pouring units against each other. These are American citizens and win or lose it's a fucking horrifying prospect.

I wouldn't. Who is to say some of these people wouldn't become suicidal, and decide to go out in a blaze of glory? Shoot up a town that voted solidly blue or something?

"You can't win" doesn't mean "you can't do any damage."

Trump voters are precisely the same people who run out and buy guns every election because 'the government is gonna ban gun ownership" and who hang "come and take it" flags on their balconies.

NYMag is an extremely credible source, and your MSM suspicion is just anti-intellectual tripe. And I'd put MORE of them in that basket. Trump has demonstrated that he is a uniquely offensive candidate, variously courting white supremacists, offending disabled, veterans, Mexicans, women, etc. He is racist, a bigot, a xenophobe and a misogynist and, frankly, a grotesque sexual predator. His only prominent policy positions he has gone into depth is the comically unrealistic BUILD A WALL and DEPORTATION FORCE (that he is never going to get Mexico to pay for, because he is an abominable moron). There is no argument left that this is just a political difference.

If you support Trump, you are a deplorable. 100% of Trump voters are deplorables. I'd call them worse. Scum, villains, detritus. Find your insult and apply it. If they can see what this monster has done and still support him, their moral center is adrift and nobody should respect these people because they don't deserve respect. They let this authoritarian Putin rimjobber get nominated, and now this shit is on their fucked up heads. Including owning a candidate with zero respect for our Democratic process.

All I'm saying is if they try they will get slapped down hard. It doesn't mean I want them to try at all.
 
He will drag the whole country through the mud. Bitching and whining about how corrupt the system is. And the media will be happy to give him a platform for his bitching.
 
Scanned page 1 and 3 (50 post ftw) and didnt see anything.

Can someone please tell me the repercussions, if any, that come from this? Why would this be a disaster? Is he being a whiny little bitch or does this actually create a big issue with the presidency itself?
 
It's truly amazing how a woman that is nearly on the verge of death can:

-launder millions of money from terrorists through her charity
-murder her investigators
-pay off all of the media
-pay off SNL
-rig voting booths all across the country
-become the co founder of ISIS

How does she do it all?

Absolutely nobody is worrying that trump supporters will successfully and violently overthrow the country. People are instead worried that this is doing harm to the belief in our election process, and that this could spark violent, ignorant, and futile outrage.

Even when it was "healthy" that brand primarily appealed to three kinds of people:

1. Foreigners who missed the nuance of his brassy gauche vaudevillian parody of luxury.
2. New Yorkers whose real estate options in Manhattan were so limited that Trump is actually competitive even as they roll their eyes and hold their noses .
3. People who are not rich but seduced by the cartoon of wealth.

While I agree that we would be in a better place had he won the election, I don't think anything good would have come from him not conceding. It was over there was really nothing for him to do without tearing the country apart.

I'm reminded of the South Park episode about the 9/11 cover up.

I bet Hillary only wishes she had such influence in all areas of American government, industry and media.
