Final of three rounds for this. Assumes that Trump loses.

Throughout the primary, Trump showed his ability to be surprisingly courteous and graceful in the immediate aftermath of an election, win or lose.  I expect that to continue tonight.

Let's see. Birth certificate took 4 years? So maybe... Jan. 2017? He's just... contemplative?

It won't matter. Gary Johnson will concede. Life will go on.

No/Yes. His advisors have prepared a concession speech for him, but when the moment comes I doubt he has the humility to go through with it. My guess is that he refuses to make any statement whatsoever once its clear he's lost; its not like its a requirement.

He will tonight, and will effectively take it back tomorrow

Well, there's a difference between conceding individual contests and conceding the entire election. I honestly can't see him doing the latter. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

I agree with this. In a primary he can feel good about losing one state because he'll still win overall.

Yes, but we'll also see Donald Trump saving face.

I don't think he's going to do it.

I think he's going to say it was rigged.

I really want to think that he'll see the advantages of a decent concession speech in salvaging his name. But what I expect is that once (or if, shudder) it becomes inarguable that they've lost, there will be fighting inside the Trump campaign. I don't really know what will actually happen.

The question is:
How far will he go to incite violence? Subtle, or full on 'shoot her' kinda talk? How much will he encore his supporters with a Hitler-sequel 'stabbed in the back' by the crooked media theory?

He'll concede, but do it in the most half-assed way possible. No prepared speech either.

I think Donald Trump will eventually concede if he loses.

I said he doesn't concede; rather, Mike Pence gives the concession for him, as Trump is already on his plane headed back home to Trump Tower.

Traditionally, the victor does not concede.

He will eventually concede, but not before his lawyers have exhausted every possible legal avenue to challenge results, get ballots thrown out, and do recounts.  Hopefully the judges shoot these down as quickly as possible.

My thread was the reason for HRC's loss. I'm sorry everyone.
