It's not a very difficult scenario to imagine: if Clinton gets elected and (a) the economy either flat lines, slightly recedes, or goes into a deep recession; (b) there's a terrorist attack (or a series of them) carried out by a Syrian refugee; (c) Hillary's choice(s) to fill the Supreme Court start to be the deciding votes in cases that might drive his base mad, and then another justice dies or retires in 2019; or (d) there actually are voting irregularities, even if they're not enough to swing the election one way or another...couldn't you see Trump running on a platform of "I told you so!" in 2020? He's obviously got a floor or 35%-39% of the electorate, so it's not like it'd be inconceivable for him to get through the primary process again--and the likes of Ryan, Rubio, Cruz, and Pence won't have a leg to stand on when it comes to arguing against his campaign, since they've all supported it.

There's certainly modern precedent for something like this when you look at Nixon. I think it's highly unlikely, but certainly possible. Go ahead and vomit now.

How disappointed were you when your Star Wars Trump quotes were ignored a few pages back?

And the "illegal immigrant" voter who turned out to be an American citizen (Gorkowski? Something like that).

And the video a few days/weeks ago where he was prevented from conmitting voter fraud but claimed it a victory anyway because, had he been willing to leave a paper trail that even the most inconsequential of reviews (the type that run all the time) would have revealed and implicated him in, he could have temporarily voted using another living citizen's name.

But if you're moronic trash on the internet his works are always very, very important

This is hilarious to me. What does this accomplish?

Someone should tell them that Dems "rigging" the count in Chicago is like a kid using cheat codes after beating the game.

Does the city level count matter? Aren't electors determined at the state level popular vote?
