Surely, he's not in danger of finding his way to the White House, right? He would have to convince a few democrats to do that.

With all the dirty tricks & clever ways that the thugs are keeping people from voting, who knows.

I have no where to go, so I will stay and fight these bastards! These clowns may win, but it won't be permanent.
Just like Cromwell in England these idiots will overreach, and maybe they are doing it right now. But hey if you want to go, go.
I am not going to let these Right Wing bastards win.

If he becomes prez, they will have won.

IMO, this country can't really survive through much more of the right wing attacks on us.

The vast majority of Americans are onto these guys. Should they steal the election - something I think won't happen - their ability to govern will be zilch. People aren't going to accept the Republican vision on social issues or economic issues. They'll make the economy worse and try even more draconian social ideas to deflect from their economic failures. That will just accelerate their eventual demise. They are moving towards regional party status and their radical ideas about women's health and forced births will lead to the worst social confrontations since the 60's, IMHO.

Apparently living there and leaving the country are exactly the same thing.
