He will threaten that the corrupt government should be overthrown, and suggest that his supporters take to the streets (with guns, but he won't come right out and say that, he will only HINT that they should do it) He will have his Lawyers and his "experts" looking into what can be done, and how they can form a panel to examine the poll results.

If Trump kept hanging onto that birth certificate fiasco, even after Obama PROVED he was a US citizen, then this thing will eat at him to no end. He will not let up for the next 4 years at least, and we will be forced to see his orange face on TV every night, I fear. He is now addicted to the limelight, and won't let a little thing like losing stop him from getting that high he gets from being "The Donald".

That is my prediction , let's see how close I am.

I think you are pretty close. Losing the election to Obama drove Palin insane and it took years to get rid of her. Trump will be even worse. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump actively encourages his white supremacist sov cit type supporters to rise up and attack government officials, federal law enforcement officers, minorities and anyone they believe voted for Hillary.

I don't think Trump's concession speech will be fiery at all. I expect it to be short and polite, if not graceful. Trump has been licked many times in his life, and he's learned not to burn his bridges behind him long ago. After all, he may need to walk across the bridge again if and when things change. He's done that many times, too.

And if the rumors Trump and Ailes want to start an alternative to Fox News after his defeat are true, he will need lots of bridges to make it happen.

He wouldn't give a concession speech after 8 years, since that is the term limits for a POTUS. He can only hold the office for 8 years. Basic American Government class.

The only reason Hillary might win is because Trump is also liberal and might be as unlikable as she is.
Not ALL American people are tired of "liberals." I am tired of people with so much hate in their hearts.

He gave a fairly classy and gracious concession speech during the primaries, I seem to recall.

"I'd like to congratulate my best friends, Hillary and Bill Clinton. My dumb and useless boys are looking forward to serving in Hillary's administration."

I agree. Hopefully you and the other liberals can stop dividing America by race, gender, sexual identity, and ethnicity. Then, maybe the open hostility towards Christians, police, the military, gun owners, conservatives, and white people can be dialed back.

The problem with the left is that they think everyone else has a monopoly on "hate," when in fact they are the prime culprits themselves. If you want proof, just look at what happens at an American university when someone with a differing point of view is invited to give a speech or participate in a discussion.

Like the phony "war on christmas" that faux news brainwashed the right wingers to think exists? To make the privileged race "in this country that has always had every advantage think they are (Cough-cough) "persecuted" and to pretend to be martyrs as such.

The only catch is that it doesn't fool anybody except each other in their little pretend xtian martyr echo chamber.

But nice try at fake xtian martyr thing. It used to work. Like 20 years ago.
