If Trump loses, will he give a concession speech

And if the Thread proves to be inaccurate? Well? Will you concede?

I hear a lot of people, good people, are saying that it will be accurate. If anyone says it’s wrong, it’s because it’s rigged. Sad!

[garygnu]

He’s likely to fire anyone who even suggests he should prepare one. Last I read, he’s not sleeping and forcing staffers to stay up too and praise him all night. Sad!

If Clinton wins, God willing, and the NY Posts’s cover tomorrow isn’t a picture of a scowling Trump with the headline “SAD!”, I will write a letter of complaint to them.

Such a nasty Internet comment.

I’d prefer tomorrow’s headlines to focus on the winner of the election, especially if it’s the first female President-Elect in our history.

I’m hoping for “YUGE LOSER!” or “TRUMPED!”

[Czarcasm]

Headline I’d like to see: “PENCE STINT ON CELEBRITY APPRENTICE CUT SHORT”

I thought it was a given that the newspapers would say ‘you’re fired’ with trumps photo.

First rally of the 2020 Trump Presidential Campaign will be scheduled tomorrow.

I can easily imagine him saying “we will file lawsuits! I have top lawyers on it! The very best lawyers!” and then just walking away and doing nothing… that way he never has to admit that it happened, but what’s the point in ACTUALLY filing a lawsuit, which (a) is expensive, and (b) he’ll surely lose anyhow.

My feelings exactly. Tonight he will make a big speech in front of his followers.

“Its not the end folks its just the beginning, just the beginning. We’re going to fight this thing, I’ve got the best lawyers and we’re going to fight this thing and put crooked Hillary where she belongs” (cue crowd to chant “lock her up”).

Tomorrow he publically files a bunch of groundless lawsuits, which are quietly thrown out or retracted over the next few weeks.

That would imply that he was hired in the first place.

I am so nervous that he’ll somehow win, I have yet to allow myself to consider the joy I’ll have if he loses.

No, he won’t concede or make the phone call over to Clinton. He’s had zero class the whole time and I don’t see him beginning now.

Sad!

Chickens, hatching, counting, etc. I’m there.

This. Even if he indisputably gets hammered into the ground, his response will be to sulk.

I would not be at all surprised to hear him say this verbatim. Nor would the described lawsuits surprise me at all.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

…and then you thank everyone who worked on your campaign individually, by name.

Maybe Halle Berry’s available for a quick speaking engagement.

“Look, a lot of people are saying I won the election, OK? A lot of people are saying I won. Hillary wrote me a letter saying ‘Mr. Trump, you really should be president right now’. She wanted me to be vice president. The ratings would’ve been huge if I’d been there. I had to say no - I’m really sorry to say - I’m way too busy right now, I’ve got so many great deals to make. I’m gonna be making such great deals your heads would spin, you wouldn’t know what is going on. But anyway, about Hillary - I was the greatest candidate in this election. I made more money than anyone ever has, I got so many endorsements, I beat Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush and all those other losers, I beat the unfair media - did you see the way CNN was talking about me? It was a disaster. Very sad. They’ll be out of business in two or three years.”

museum curator-gloved golf clap for this - bravodelic.

this would work for him whether he lost or won.

I’m wondering about this. I know from reading biographies that it is hard for politicians to lose, because you feel rejected by an entire city/state/country.

Trump likes to say ‘the blacks love me’, or ‘women love me’ or ‘latinos love me’, etc. What happens if/when he loses?

Does he even give a concession speech? Will he admit he lost a fair election and that voters preferred Clinton?
Does he say that he actually won, but lost because of voter fraud?
Does he say he lost because voters are morally inferior (lazy, uneducated, dependent on welfare)?

I’m guessing he will get angry and claim fraud. The idea of him admitting defeat with dignity doesn’t seem to be something he is capable of.

It appears that the real question now would be -

If Hillary loses, will she give a public concession speech?

[adaher]

She will. Kerry waited until morning too, it’s entirely reasonable.
