Much ado has been made about the fact that Trump refused to say that he would "accept" the results of the election.

First off, I can't figure out why anyone would expect a candidate to relinquish their right to contest the results of an election that hasn't happened yet, especially if they have reason to believe that all is not kosher.

Funny, as much as I respect the overall job that Chris Wallace did in the final debate (especially compared to the first two) I can't fathom why he worded the question that way and why he didn't ask Hillary the same question.

But my real question here is what will Democrats (both the people and the politicians) do if Trump actually wins?

Will Democrats "accept" Trump winning? OR will they throw a fit, demand investigations, recounts and indulge in their favorite form of protests....Riots?

if hillary wins, the trump camp is going to scream like children claiming a rigged election, if trump wins the hillary camp is going to scream the same thing, especially if the election is close.

If Hillary wins I'm sure there are people who will look at the details of the election especially if it is close in some states.
We have seen some sketchy things from the Hillary camp.

If Trump wins I'm sure there will be riots and demands of recounts. I also wouldn't be surprised if the GOP came out and said that they refuse to work with him. They have already pretty much said that they expect Hillary to win but they vow to block anything she attempts.

SO if Hillary wins, nothing will get done. If Trump wins nothing will get done.

Whomever wins America loses....

Riots would probably get amplified but not necessarily started over a Trump presidency.

Example: next May, a few months into a possible Trump regime, a black man in Philly stabs 769 people then when cornered by cops doesn't put down the knife and gets shot.

The following riots by BLM protesting the treatment of this angel will be more violent/destructive because Trump is in the White House.

Hillary has been laying the groundwork on the off chance Trump wins with all this talk of Russian hacking. You can be certain she won't accept the results of the election immediately.
