This is why I think the possibility of Trump suspending the Constitution and/or dissolving Congress isn't very far fetched.

Nothing is far fetched with him.

That's why I find it incredible when people laugh at the notion he may not willingly leave office should he lose.


His term will end on Jan 20th whether or not he likes it or not . The new President can just order the Secret Service to escort Trump out of the White House and have him arrested for trespassing if he doesn’t leave .




Which is why 1) in 2020/2021, the GOP's project will be nonstop sowing of chaos over who the actual victor of the election is, so it's unclear whether power is to be transferred on January 20, and 2) given the chaos of 2020/2021, the GOP will attempt to take measures to delay elections while they sort out how to fix our completely compromised and unreliable electoral systems.

This is speculative, obviously. But I'm not nearly as sure it's fiction as I'd like to be.

I don’t know why so many people are presuming that Trump and the GOP are going to let the election have a clear and unambiguous winner if it’s not them.

That would be easier to believe if any of us had ever seen Donald Trump laugh.

How is this thread still going?

He's having fun and fishing for validation from the crowd.

There is zero kelvin chance of him having a 3rd term.   The 22nd Amendment is absolutely clear on this; there's no wiggle room to find an alternate interpretation that would allow him to do it. And there's no mechanism he could do it extralegally.

You *say* there's no mechanism for him to do it extralegally. Thing about extralegal stuff is that you tend not to anticipate it when you're thinking from within the bounds of the system as it exists.
