Or give it him -- especially the racism part.


This country is rife with racists, they
see it as a good thing. There are lots
of Dem racists. Hell, the Ku Klux Klan
was the military arm of the Dem party
in the 20's and 30's and 40's. Sen Byrd
was a Grand Kleage of the Klan. He
vehemently opposed the 1964 Civil
Rights Amendment, along with Algore's
father. Byrd is one of Hillary's hero's,
she's said it many times. No doubt.

I've thought about this a lot. Will there ever be a concession speech from Trump? Even if he gets blown out?

Who knows. It's going to be a nasty election. I could definitely see him refusing to concede gracefully.



When has he ever been able to concede anything? He certainly won't be conceding that the people have spoken that's for sure. The best you could hope for would be a grudging acknowledgement that Hillary won with some other throwaway line about how the country would have been far better off with him.

When Trump lost Iowa to Ted Cruz he gave a surprisingly humble speech immediately after.

Of course, later on he said Cruz stole the election based on his people lying about Ben Carson dropping out.... But that wasn't till a little later.

I could definitely see him losing in 2016 and then running again in 2020. He loves being the center of attention.

Did he ever concede about being wrong in his ranting for years about Obama being born in Kenya?

Not that I know of. The last I saw he "doesn't talk about it anymore".

If Trump loses, I bet he concedes politely, and then the next day starts his normal thin skinned 'alpha male' ranting that's based mostly on the facts he made up in his head.

Suppose he loses definitively and there's no doubt about it. Say Hillary scores over 300 electoral votes, way more than the 270 that are needed for a win.

I'd say there's an even chance he, or the Trumpkins, will pose a fantasy scenario where faithless electors disregard the popular vote results and vote in the Electoral College for him anyway.

The chance the media will run with that story is more uncertain. There was a far better chance for a contested GOP convention, but having been denied it they might indulge in another bout of wishful thinking.

The betting odds suggest Trump has about a 30% chance of winning. Will you let me bet on Trump at +250 odds?

Do Vegas casinos take bets on elections? I assume some British bookies do.
