Most are saying Trump is toast. Will he give a concession speech? Why do you answer the way you do?

(19,375 posts)He will attempt to deflect all blame for his loss. Election rigged, media in the tank for HRC, spineless turn coats in the GOP, the list is endless.
The undercurrent of his speech is what concerns me though. I believe he will use that opportunity to further incite his rabid base toward extra-political activity and it will not be pretty.

(25,862 posts)worthy of Karl Rove, on Election Night. That will be the closest he'll come to a concession speech.
Oh, and he'll threaten to sue everyone he can think of for his losing. He'll probably get mountains of replies along the lines of this one from the NYT: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028228362

He is a dolt.

(20,818 posts)his "deplorables" will act upon losing on election night. I think he will have a great deal of trouble wrapping his head around the fact that he's lost and he may not even accept it, nor will his supporters. In fact, he cannot accept losing and I'm very concerned about what will happen election night and the days afterwards.
