Trumps angry pronouncements and hot rage could be a plan to disrupt the voting and create a crisis where the results can be questioned. His supporters could flood key voting places challenging voters they think will vote for Hillary. A very serious situation could develop as we move toward election day itself.
Telling voters to poll watch is a dangerous ploy. And now that we see one case where an armed protester has camped out at a Democratic campaign office it is most worrisome. One has to worry where things could escalate to when you consider how the media is being treated at Trump rallies.
What is worse is that most of the GOP leadership is silent. And many of these leaders will NOT denounce Trump directly. Quietly they actually do support him so they really do not want to say anything. Party loyalty is more important than the good of the country.
Besides the GOP leadership is telegraphing that they will NOT under any circumstances work with Hillary. In fact they will probably try to fine a reason to oust or impeach her.
We may already have an election crisis on our hands. We just have not realized it yet.

I am considering opening a bank acct in Seoul..not kidding.

(2,850 posts)He can throw his tantrum and refuse to concede, but he doesn't have to in order for the election results to be legally binding. He can challenge the results in court, and the judges will laugh at him and possibly fine him for filing frivolous lawsuits.
A bunch of deranged assholes with 3rd grade educations and AKs stalking the poles does not a constitutional crisis make. That can also be a problem, but it can be solved with real law-enforcement.

If you see something, report it to her legal team. If you cannot find them, DM me and I can get your info to the right people. I worked for Obama in 2008 and will be on Hillary's Voter Protection Team this year in Florida.
