You really don't need to worry about this. If Hillary Clinton wins, it's almost guaranteed she gets 50 senate seats at which point she can ram through whoever she drat well pleases.

In the unlikely event that she wins but only gets 49, I'm sure Susan Collins or someone who's not totally batshit would go ahead and get things over the hump.
Other than Collins, who are some of the non-batshit GOP senators left? Snowe retired, right?

Being forced to do so by an 8-0 SCOTUS ruling would only embolden them even more to cause problems for Clinton. Like she's going to come in to office, and leave office, with a House that is openly hostile to her and will probably prioritize investigating her over actually doing their jobs.
Soooo...pretty much Congress prior to her election?

Either Bill or Obama would be making Trump cry by now.
Personally I'm waiting for the first debate. Of course if Donald doesn't poo poo himself on stage or try to throttle her it will be considered a win for him, but :abuela: kept her composure through an 11-hour bullshit hearing. She's an attorney, even if she hasn't practiced for a long time. Going on the (admittedly large) assumption that the moderator learned something about the Lauer debacle and makes Trump actually answer questions presented to him he's going to be very unhappy.

Yeah. If they want to stop Trump they should vote for Clinton. Period.
Eh, if enough of them don't vote for Trump and divvy it up between Johnson and McMullan they're effectively doing the same thing as "everyone who's not Mormon" is probably voting for Hilary. Salt Lake actually went for Obama in the last 2 elections.

i didnt say that. thats why you have a constitution that guarantees unalienable rights for everyone. On the real, i really despise the whole white nationalist angle trump is pushing but on the other hand clinton has arguably said more racist poo poo and has actually passed or supported legislation that hosed minorities over time and time again so it is what it is

My guess is random Clinton staffer whose job on Monday was to go to the venue ahead of her arrival and make sure everything was in order, so of course he's there to greet her when she arrives to give her a report on what's going on. And tbh it makes a lot of sense to pick up your candidate's notes right after the debate because you don't want the other campaign to know anything, not even what Clinton's scribbling down while Donald talks.

Guys, I don't think it really matters if Trump doesn't concede or doesn't "accept" the results of the election. It's like a football game, at the end Blue Team wins by 25 points, and Red Team sits there on the field crying "We don't accept this, we won!" and the score still doesn't change and the refs go home and the crowd leaves and they turn off the lights. Remember what happened to Romney? He was planning on riding out of there in a limo, and instead the he ended up getting a ride from one of his kids and the Secret Service hosed off back to Washington and that would have happened if he never came out of his little dressing room.

And knowing Trump he'll have security throw everyone out of the ballroom at whichever Trump hotel they're having his thing in and sulk. His mouthbreathing supporters aren't going to revolt or riot as they're all a bunch of loving cowards. Yeah, maybe a couple will do dumb poo poo, but a couple did dumb poo poo after Romney lost. This is a weird thing to freak out over.

It's a bit different here because if Trump pushes some "the election was rigged" narrative hard, then who knows what could happen. We might see nothing. We might get a few Malheur-type situations that quickly get settled. We might see sporadic violence by Trump supporters. We might see opportunistic Republicans jumping on Trump's accusations as an excuse to call into question the legitimacy of the Clinton Presidency and hold dozens of Congressional investigations on it for the sole purpose of keeping it in the news, just like every other Clinton scandal.
No, again, the Republican Party is going to pretend they didn't run the most laughingstock candidate in US history for POTUS and they're going to STFU very hard. Will there be stupid Congressional committees investigating bullshit accusations? Possibly. But they're not going to touch the election with a fifty-foot pole. The only reason they're not already screaming what a useless fuckup they've nominated is is because they still need someone to show up at the polls and vote for them. Expect to see a whole lot of "well I never liked him" poo poo on Nov 9th.
