Its like people think that if they pick a side in a civil war that they will simply gun down the opposing folks, and everything will be great.

wall st kid here states it pretty simply. All you people talking all tough? You are fools. A civil war is the worst sort of war. Its ugly, its nasty, and its brutal. People you care about will die horrifically no matter what side you are on.

No bloodshed because we are a civilized country. If you aren't civilized then move and stop threatening others

There will not be any civil war. There will definitely be protests but ultimately the powers that be, like Congress will step in and make a decision. Most people (except for some nutty ones) are not willing to die or put themselves in danger for a president.

^^^^Mistyped this. Same number of voters re rules above, but governing the House of Representatives if 'no 270''. As I typed on a previous thread a few weeks ago, electors abandoning Trump can only drive him below 270 and send the election to the House....an attempt to 'soften' a perceived mandate. The House is certainly not going to vote Hillary in.

Anyway, I don't know how this would work, but maybe it would go to the house and senate to decide?
If no one gets to 270, the House votes from the top 3 contenders. The Senate picks the VP from the top 2.

Won't happen.

But "if"?


Civil War would be the only result.

We're already in a "cold civil war" as it is.

Threads like this shows me that this election cycle has set up the perfect catalyst, and there are many playing with matches, and making sparks.

There are those out there, on both sides of the political spectrum, that want to burn this country down. That is clear.

It's likely just a matter of time before they are successful.

That particular scenario could be interesting!


Imagine a Trump/Kaine administration (or Clinton/Pence to give equal thought).


I actually think a mixed administration could bring about some real compromise. But maybe I'm just deluded. LOL

Yes of course it could be interesting but so is Bigfoot coming into your living room and asking you for a piece of cake. The odds of it happening are about the same.
