I seem to remember that the losing candidate is in attendance at the winning candidates inauguration as sign of the continuum of our government. Do you think Trump will attend?

In fact, after she takes office, I personally hope she steps on the GOP's throat.

(23,761 posts)I concur with your suggestion, JoePhilly.
When Hillary Clinton becomes our president, hopefully with a Democratic Senate and maybe a Democratic House, I hope she plays hardball. There is no reason to try to be bipartisan. The Republicans have screwed Democrats at every turn. It's time for payback.
I'm with her. ===>

(14,449 posts)The gore's and Kerry's didn't go to bush 's. Bush senior didn't go to Clinton's. Dole didn't go to Clinton's. I think once they "lose" that's it. Even previous presidents don't go to new presidents inaugurals.
