I'm guessing 'The Sun' in the UK will have a large photo of Trump overlaid with "You're Fired" *
* I know that's what out chap says in the UK version, I don't know the US version, but it'll be for UK reader consumption, so they'll go with that, probably.
I don't think Trump will lose.
Yeah with the FBI backing him and in general the whole script with the poll numbers starting to resemble the Brexit ones, I am not certain any more, that he will lose.
I don't know. I get all my news from here. So what will Tim's post read on November 9th?

Yup, that was Trump's catchphrase on the show.

Canadian Newspaper Headline:
Border clogged as Americans flee
November 10th:
"Frozen American Corpses Stacked Like Cordwood By Canadian Highways"
"Trump loses in historic defeat"
"Clinton first woman elected president of the US"
"Clinton wins"
"Phew!"
"Glad that's over!"
"Congress vows to impeach President Elect Clinton" (just kidding, that has already been promised)
... stuff like that.
Personally I expect Clinton to win. The only thing that gives me pause is the magnitude of the disaster if she doesn't.

If you thought it was bad before...
Whoever is elected, the other side is going to hate her with a passion, probably more than GWB or Obama. Plus the incumbent will be really old and probably rather weak.
Things will get going early, and intensely.
The nutballs will be coming in ever greater numbers left and right. I think Clinton will be the last mainstream candidate in awhile. It will be the election of Siege vs. Citizen K. I am not looking forward to it.

I'm not that sure that Ryan, McConnell et al will be that quick to join the howling mob. Trump has to an extent delegitimized the white lumpenproletariot.

Depends on a few things, I think:
1) How big was the margin of Trump's defeat, and how it affected down-ballot races. Clinton with a marginal victory vs a GOP controlled house and senate is a very different scenario than a Clinton landslide and a democrat controlled house and senate.
2) How safe are they from being primaried by the Trump-shirts.
3) How viable do they think continuing the 30-year vilification campaign against Clinton will be in obtaining significant gains in 2018.
Ryan is beloved in Wisconsin so I think he is pretty safe. Not sure how ready Kentuckians are to throw out Mitch though, though he would be running for re-election the same time as the incoming President and he would be almost 80 so this might be his last ride in any case.

If the parties have an ounce of sense left in them, they'll tighten up the rules for the nomination process to make another Trump-style run impossible.

Closed primaries, earlier party registration deadlines, none of that would help.
Maybe a literacy test. :hmm:

Ryan's not losing his seat, but the GOP caucus likes to eat its own leaders, and there have been open rumblings about trying to take down Ryan as Chairman.
Oh well that's true. Ryan's leadership in the House is certainly precarious. I am not sure who would take over for him though.

Ryan is safe in his home state Wisconsin but the split in the Republican party is a bit intense between the establishment and anti-establishment who are very unhappy with government going along as usual. So as part of the establishment he gets a lot of grief from the outsider type Republicans who have become a lot more vocal and visible.

(Not necessarily with the Charles Foster Kane by-line; although they could keep it in if Trump loses. He does bear a resemblance to CFK (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBaZmYd3nsM).) Anyhow since now both sides are accusing the other of cheating, it's only a question of whether that will appear in Pravda or The New York Times.

TURN YOUR KEY
I think the democrats can still get enough dead people to vote to steal this election. And then, chances are Prez Trump is gonna get shot within the first year like Reagan did.
All in all, i expect the democrats to not recognize a Trump victory, because, you know, elections only have consecuences when democrats win.
Also, because Trump is a white male, he will likely be challenged every step of the way, and threatened with impeachment on a daily basis, unlike a minority or female prez, who would accuse his political enemies of racisssm or gender discrimination with the help of the Vast Left Wing Media.
Therefore, i expect a Trump Presidency to be kept in check by the tools of a democratic system, while i expect a Clinton presidency to corrupt the system to the core to the point the US would become another banana Republic with pay to play and all the other typical clinton corruption scandals.
