CA might try to secede given the entire state if virtually one huge sanctuary city for illegals.

I voted for "Nothing" in the other poll, because those on the right may hate Clinton but respect the Republic.
But on this pole I voted for "both 1 & 2" Because it is obvious that those on the left despise everything this country stands for.

Then we'd have an unpopular one-term president. We've had those before, and the republic managed to carry on regardless.

Exactly! -- But the "progressive" activists at this site seem to have become a bit less confident, (and in some cases, quite a bit more vicious) in recent days.

Trump's (and the Trunpsters') flaming aside, it's not the better-educated conservatives who are abandoning rational dialogue. But some of the more militant Lefties seem ready to kick the chessboard over if they don't get their way.

As Clint Eastwood's "drifter" persona once said to a rattlesnake: "Keep singin', partner".

If you're so afraid of war you wouldn't be supporting Hillary.

They wouldn't manipulate the election results like that unless they decided Hillary was not electable and wanted to weaken Trump's mandate.

Who said I'm supporting Hilary? I'm just against the egomaniacal oompa loompa...

He becomes President of the USA.

Not very familiar with how our government works, I take it?

I voted for mass looting, burning etc. Which probably will happen even if Trump wins the EC and popular vote.

Trump gloats, says the Electors love him and screw the American people, they don't matter.
