I think he'll bitch about the game being rigged.

Though I could also see him protecting his ego by claiming the rumors of him being a Clinton shill are true and he's the *best* Democratic covert operative ever; bringing the Republicans down from the inside.

"You ran an interesting campaign, but now that you've lost..."
"Says who?"
"The Voters. Most of them. All of them?"
"Says who?"
"The voters. I just told you."
"Okay, which voters?"
"All of them"

Needs to be multiple choice. Without joking or jesting, I am sure he will claim some level of fraud took place, threaten to sue and that will be about it.

If Trump starts claiming it was rigged, even after a landslide, and starts inciting his supporters to not accept the results, I would have no problem with some burly secret service agents or CIA paying him a little visit and setting him straight. Attacking the credibility of our election process, which is the very foundation of our democracy, without merit and purely for personal gain or to protect his fragile ego is unacceptable, and amounts to treason in my opinion, and should be punished as such.

Its unlikely but assuming Trump loses I hope he has some form of concession speech even if its real short. I don't want to see a bunch of people running around saying the President Elect isn't the President.
Not good for our Country its what happens in shit stain countries.

Calling for a revolution? I doubt it although if he did somehow win I'm certain he would trash the Constitution to the extent the courts and (more importantly) the GOP underlings allow him to.

So, business as usual then. We should be used to the constitution being trashed at this point.

It will surely be a lot more cordial than the violent leftists' reaction if he wins.

Who the Blacks?
I have a feeling that's who you mean. Trump has said he'll have the majority of black voters supporting him. He said by the end of his term he'll have 95% support of the black vote.
Maybe Mexicans? Trump said Mexicans love him and all the good illegals get to stay.
Maybe Muslim's? Trump now says extreme vetting just keeps people from Syria, Afghanistan, some Iraqi's and a handful of others out. Everyone else is welcomed.

Not all that different from what happened with Obama. Plenty of people say he is "not my President." Hell, he doesn't even deserve to appoint SCOTUS justices.

Hey your asshole Trump already did this with his birther shit. It's the Republican way. If you did not win the election then start a campaign to de-legitimatize person you lost to. So you are expecting something different?

There was one Republican debate where he screwed up nearly every question badly, and to my surprise rather than talking about it being rigged as he would when the audience would boo him (which probably actually was rigged by the Jeb/Rubio establishment), he was a little more quiet and said the questions he received were "Tough, but fair" and that it was a great challenging match and yada yada. I could see him doing similarly if he finally loses, something like "Oh yeah it was a great match, Hillary was a great opponent, we were neck and neck but oh well, I had a great time". I know he sees himself as the greatest thing ever, but I don't believe he really sees himself as the leader of some great new right-wing revolution, I think he sees himself as amazing for getting as far as he could. I could see him suing for a recount if there are any states with razor-thin margins, perhaps even if it's not enough to affect the overall election (I'm sure every electoral vote counts when he looks back and jacks himself off over how close he got), but not much more than that.

There were plenty of people that said 'he's not my president' about dubya as well.

I agree but its different when its the candidate

Al Gore had pretty good reason & a strong case to challenge the outcome but he chose to be an adult and not to put the Country in a perilous spot.

Let's discuss cordial. If Hillary loses, she'll give a graceful concession speech and, if any leftists choose to react violently, she will condemn those actions. OTOH, if Trump loses, he will blame a 'rigged' election and a 'biased' media and, if any of his supporters choose to react violently, he will incite them.
I'm sure that you believe that the latter is somehow more cordial than the former, but it's not.

He'll go back to tweeting stuff. He's actually a lot like Milo. He loves the attention.

Most likely outcome would probably be a steel cage match against Hillary, Vince McMahon and Stone Cold as special guest referees.

Trump will threaten to sue a lot of people, but, he will not actually go through with the threats because he is spineless and has no case.

That's because plenty of us were not on the Supreme Court, which selected GWB as President by a 5-4 vote based on very specious rationalizations overruling the Supreme Court of Florida in it's interpretation of Florida state law. History will judge that decision as one of the low points of the Supreme Court jurisprudence.

That's a completely different situation than what Trump's been claiming, which is basically if I lose it has to be because of fraud in the voting process. An extremely dangerous charge to level, especially in the absence of any proof whatsoever.

Start building the prison now which will house the people who go off the wall when they find out that no wall is going to be built.

Folks,

why on Earth do you think he hired the Breitbart CEO?

He needs them to spread the message of the rigged elections after his loss, to proclaim he is the REAL, true winner and that HRC's presidency is not "legitimate". This is the main reason he needs the professional liars from Breitbart, and I guarantee you they're already in full force crafting their stories.

For Trump, the *actual outcome* of the election is irrelevant. <---- Please read this again. He is a sociopath who "CAN" not lose, plus he already stated in public "there is only two outcomes, he wins or the elections are rigged". In his brain, there is only ONE outcome, that he is winning. The numbers of the election won't ever matter.

For him and supporters, it's already written that HRC "belongs into prison" and that already her running for office is "illegitimate". From that PoV it's absurd to even remotely think that Trump & nutters will accept ANY outcome of this election. They won't. We are not dealing with rational people here.

concession speech even if its real short

I highly, highly doubt this. If he would really give a concession speech, then only because of massive pressure from his advisors. A sociopath "does no wrong", there is no other person who can beat him or do better than him...so a concession or any admit of a "loss" would be in contrast to how a sociopath works. I personally don't think it won't happen.

Trump has already told us what he would do if not elected.
Shoot someone in the street on 5th Avenue.
If you live in NY and near 5th avenue, I'd do a lot of ducking on November 9th.
