Not too long ago I would have thought this to be a ludicrous idea. Now, I'm not so sure. I do think, however, that as unlikely as it is, it would be a leftist radical or BLM thug before someone in his own party.
There will never be a coup in this country. As bad as it seems sometimes that stuff just doesn't happen here.
Nah, a coup would involve someone of at least moderate intelligence to take the lead. It would also involve a lot of work.
Idiotic opinion. I am voting for Ms. Clinton, but I have little doubt that, if elected, Mr. Trump will do his best. His bark will, no doubt, be worse than his bite.
I work in M&A and with some heavy-duty private equity investment people (who are very familiar with Trump and live in his vicinity). They have said that if it looks like Trump will get elected, they are considering converting all their stocks to cash, as they expect a major crash. Sixty percent of the country thinks Trump is unqualified to be president.
I've heard some say they believe he is capable of trying to take over with a dictatorship. Do not underestimate the fear of a Trump presidency--he is a phony who has been putting on a show and is over his head just attempting to run a campaign. The thought of him running a country is horrifying to those not falling for his phony production.

Seems to have done pretty good running his company. More than Hillary has EVER done.

Good at running his company? He has had literally thousands of lawsuits against him, is standing trial for Fraud in November for his Trump University Scheme(And you think Hillary is the crooked one?!?), has bankrupted his and other business multiple times (His companies have declared bankruptcies in 1991
Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel in 1992, in 2004 Trump Casino and Resort, and in 2009 for Trump

EDIT: Sorry, can't get the link to work, but the article is worth reading. Oh, looks like the website title has been caught by the censor and that is why the link doesn't work. Just type the URL in (this missing **** letters are evident) if you are interested.

Instead of a coup, why not just say "NO!" to democracy?
Ironically, most Americans do not know about the republican form, its definition, nor its source.
(No, it's not a constitutional republic...)
. . . . . . .
• Why return to the republican form of government?
• Why stop participating in the democratic form of government?
By withdrawing consent, restoring one’s status as a free inhabitant, American national, exercising only non-taxable endowed rights, and no longer consenting to be governed, the free American also cripples the ability of the servant government, operated as an indirect democracy, to abuse its delegated powers.
A revenue strapped government, denied millions to rule and tax, cannot get into mischief - at least not as much. And hopefully, those who do have civic virtue and honor will not tolerate infiltration by cowards, scoundrels and predators.
It will be as the Founders wished - a nation of sovereign, free, and independent people, served -not ruled- by governments - governments populated by incorruptible public servants, instituted to secure those endowments. And govern only those who consent to be governed.
Anything more is suspect, anything less is unacceptable.
. . . . . . .
Remember, in the republican form, no democratic majority can vote to deny, infringe or tax any endowment of our Creator... only government granted privileges are subject to their power.

The coup the author speaks of is simply the military refusing illegal orders given by a President. The military has an obligation to obey lawful orders, something that half of you super patriots posting on this thread were probably unaware of.
Try reading what the author actually wrote, you might understand the context. Considering how rabid and foaming and frothing so many conservatives are in this country, it's no surprise that any order given to them by Donald Trump they would execute to the fullest.
I remember a time in Europe when Germans had a similar devotion to their elected leader...

As a retiree, we followed all orders, unless unlawful. Very simple. Didnt matter if it was Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Obama.
And if you are that old, remembering Germanys Hitler, then you obviously know of many radical POTUS orders that were followed on both sides as you are the avid historian.

I'll tell you what I do know: The neoconservative Bush administration getting their handpicked AG to make waterboarding "legal", thereby making torture a "lawful" order. Now Trump talks of killing terrorists families and it only goes downhill from there.
Yes, with a Republican in office, you have to be extremely careful, as they wish to inflict great harm and violence on other human beings. No doubt there are many Democrats who are, by now, desensitized to the killing as well.
