The Aftermath Of The Election

There seems to be a growing concern for what is going to happen after the election with Trump and his supporters.

Certainly Trump is going to lose. He has a lot of crazy followers that believe him when he says the election is rigged. There must be something we can do. Can't they all just move to Russia?

Honestly, it worries me. The sensible Republicans are really going to have to step up to the plate, take a lot of blame and speak to their party.

What in the world is Trump going to say in his concession speech?

He would rather throw this whole country into disarray than ever concede that he lost. It won't matter how large of a margin he loses by, he will still claim that the election was stolen.

That would require that he admits that he failed.

While failure is not new to Trump, he always blames someone else.
