Let's just say that the person you vote for in November ends up losing, and the other person ends up winning and becoming the next president. What is your take on this situation? How would you behave, think and act?

Personally, I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton. However, if Trump wins, although I'll be disappointed, all I will do is hope for the best, give him the benefit of the doubt and see how things go during his first term.

What about you?

This is the most messed up decisive potentially dividing election of all time. I don't think there has ever been so much at stake depending on which way you lean. Hillary will destroy America as we know it and Trump will nuke the world.

If Hillary wins I will be disappointed and get ready to hold onto my memories of America before millions of illegal aliens are given amnesty, rights and the vote, the second amendment is scratched out, extreme liberal supreme court justices are nominated, terrorists like isis and the BLM people will be given more leeway to continue their brand of hate and the list goes on and on.

We all know what Hillary will do to America continuing down the path it is on to become something many of us are not going to be happy with.

If Trump wins we will have to give him the benefit of the doubt like we did with Obama in 2008.

There is no use in being pissed but if Trump gets in I wonder what the likes of Rush Limbaugh will go on about?

I am voting for Ron Paul, and if he doesn't win I'll probably defecate on the stairs of the White House.

I'll get up and go to work like I always do.


If I see that Trump might be winning; I will probably re-allocate some stock market money to my mattress until I see what happens.

Do what I've always done, whether my candidate wins or loses.

1) criticize the actions I disagree with, applaud the ones I agree with

2) do my best to be the change I wish to see

Whoever wins the presidency, there's one thing I can tell you that is always true about presidents - they are politicians, not infallible people with perfect judgment or crystal balls, or knights in shining armor, or heroes, or saints. And you can take that to the bank.

I am a Democrat.

So, I am going to spread hate and vitriol in every way that I can. I will protest every Republican idea, seek to ruin the reputation of the First Daughters and Sons, tarnish the image of Melania, march with Black Lives Matter, celebrate when a police officer is shot, and lie down in the way of progress so that The Republicans cannot claim they have been successful.

Because I am a Democrat. And that's what we do.

That is exactly what Republicans have done for the past 8 years with regard to the Obama family.

Considering how President Obama and his family have been treated, I don't feel Democrats owe civility to a Republican president.

You left out the option to move to another country, which is an actual option for some of us, and one seriously considered.

No matter who wins, about half of the country will truly hate the president. I wasn't crazy about Bush/Cheney and their wars, but it was tolerable and the real estate bubble took everyone's mind off of him--until the crash.

Rush Limbaugh will rant daily that they won't give Trump the nuclear codes because Trump wants to win his latest twitter fight with Madagascar.
