Trump supporters would lose it big time and it would be quite entertaining to see their reaction. And considering that most of the country rejected Trump, his supporters would be quite a minority. With all this craziness that has come up, the electoral college would be justified in denying Trump the presidency.

IF it happened it'd be war because there is no legit reason for the electors not to vote for Trump.

Legit reason #1: It is their duty, and main reason for being, to deny the presidency to a would-be dictator.

Legit reason #2: Russia and James Comey elected Trump; not the American people.

We won.

You lost.

Quit being bitter.

i could be wrong - apologies in advance - but weren't you one of the people who...lost...this election?

During the course of the campaign, I launched many harsh denunciations of both Trump and Clinton.

Nearer to the end of the campaign though, I returned home.

Lost the election?

Hardly.

Who controls the Presidency?
Who controls the Vice Presidency?
Who controls the U.S. Senate?
Who controls the U.S. House of Representatives?
Who controls appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court, appointments which will set the course of the court for a generation?



Marion Jones won gold medals in the 2000 Olympics, yet was on performance enhancing drugs. There are many ways of winning, but not all of them are magnanimous.

The Republican victory was legitimate.

Prove it wasn't.

The Democrats lost because they nominated a horrible candidate, cold, calculating, establishment, who had trouble connecting with ordinary, every day, honest, hard working, tax paying Americans, not because of anything the Russians may or may not have done.

2.5 million votes say otherwise, but an antiquated system saved Trump from a loss. Besides, your man won the Presidency, so why are you even worried about how other people are perceiving the win? Really, you need to allow others to have their opinions.
