President Donald J. Trump: What Then? (The realization sets in) [FReep poll]
Dick and Sharon's L.A. Progressive ^ | September 17, 2016 | Dick and Sharon

Posted on 09/17/2016 6:45:37 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The latest LA Times/USC Nationwide Tracking poll has Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton by six points! Maybe that poll is an outlier, a blip, mistaken in some way. And yet it’s not terribly out of step with other general election polls that have Trump ahead, even, or just a little behind.

Sure, polls go up and down during a race, and maybe Trump’s lead will evaporate now that Clinton is back on the campaign trail, demonstrating that her collapse at the 9-11 event was not as serious as it seemed.

But what if the lead doesn’t evaporate? What if on November 8th, more of your fellow Americans vote for the flimflam man with the yellow pompadour—an inconceivable thought not so long ago that’s suddenly at least conceivable?

Over the next three days, we’ll ask the obvious questions: What happens to America if Donald J. Trump is its 45th president? How will the Democratic Party respond? And what will you do?

Please take the poll and add your comments below.

I’ll invest in popcorn futures and sit back and enjoy the fireworks from millions of exploding liberal heads.

They left out the obvious choice: recognize that they have gone too far to the Left, and adjust their party’s positions to reflect the view of their members..

The LA Times polls has been trying to catch the “slealth Trump” voters, and so always leads the other polls by about 5 points.

The majority of which were cast by Freepers directed there by this thread.

LOL! Right, and mine was one of them. And it was the truth, because if there is one commonality between the establishment wings of both parties, it is that they're never to blame. Of course they'll blame Bernie. And if Trump loses we'll blame the tremendous groundswell of support that Yeb!...oh, wait. That's only three votes. Never mind.

It is a big question whether or not the GOPe and the Democrats will acquiesce to a Trump win. Some of the left wing verbiage suggests not. That is scary to me. What if Obama refuses to recognize the electoral results. Harry Reid talks as if he will refuse to accept a Trump win.

If Donald Trump wins the presidential race, how will the Democratic Party respond? (Pick 3)

Blame Bernie Sanders and his supporters (63%, 64 Votes)

Blame third party candidates and the Democrats that voted for them (54%, 55 Votes)

Won’t change a thing (45%, 45 Votes)

Acknowledge that it has left its progressive base and shift to the left (12%, 12 Votes)

Develop a stronger party to combat Trump in four years (11%, 11 Votes)

Change the way it picks its candidates (9%, 9 Votes)

I’ll be thinking up a condolence card to send to Her Thighness. Something along the lines of “The DNC said he would be the easiest of all to beat...., so what happened, Loser?”

A hint for DJT from Barry Goldwater, “My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.”

My liberal “friends” are coming unglued. They’re scared. Someone is feeding them BS and they’re eating it up.

I think what Trump needs to do once he takes office is start beating the drum about entrenched politicians and the need for TERM LIMITS and then encourage a complete voting out of incumbents and start with fresh pols with an open mind. You know darn well once he gets there the establishment will oppose his every move, they must go!

And the post by Sheila dated September 17, 2016 at 5:10 pm wherein the lady asserts that Trump’s base is Angry White Males and that they will be emboldened to commit violent crimes against people of color, Muslims, and Jews and she goes on to cite a study from UC San Bernadino stating hate crimes against Muslims are up 78% from 2015 and that “many researchers” attribute this increase to Trump?????
