If Donald Trump had lost

[The Arizonan]

If Donald Trump had lost, how would he have reacted and behaved?

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

I doubt the protests against HRC's victory in the state legislatures when the EC voted would have been anywhere near as severe as they actually were. Trump would have called the system rigged and likely not acknowledged his loss for days. He would also press for recounts wherever they might reasonably be possible. Basically, he would act as the Dems actually did, except he, unlike HRC, would have been the voice of even the nuttiest conspiracy theorists. Trump does not accept defeat with grace.

He'd have declared victory and went back to his businesses.

It wouldn't have been particularly ugly unless it happened in a way where he felt he was robbed a la Al Gore.

This. Trump would have been abandoned by most in the party establishment after refusing to accept the result, only having conspiracy shows as his support base, while the current effort to delegitimize Trump is a party wide effort lead by the Democratic establishment and the practically the entire media.

[Mr. Smith]

YUGE uptick in violence, especially hate crimes in the first few weeks.

Then there'd be more obstruction from the House, and the media would probably go up to eleven on the scandals of Hillary.

But the rest of the talk of town would be zilch since she wouldn' be throwing at a dartboard of CEOs for staff.

He would delay his concession by two hours after news networks declare HRC's victory.

Claims 2 or more states were stolen but he would concede anyway and go back to his business
