Twitter servers would respond nothing but 404 Errors for the next five months.

For anyone thinking that he would organize a revolution or "fight", I have news for you and will quote Joe Biden: "Give me a break...".

Trump would probably kick up a fuss and media tantrum and wait for Hillary to strike an unofficial deal with him (probably gaining benefits on behalf of Trump Corporation). Then he would grudgingly concede and go back to the only thing he is interested - making more money for himself.

He'd whine on Twitter and probably file frivolous lawsuits. The scarier thing is what some of his more "passionate" followers would do.

Also, Trump might actually lead in the popular vote for much of the night like Romney did. Remember when he threw a temper tantrum on Twitter about how Romney won the popular vote but lost anyway? That could happen again. And this was when Obama won by 4 points. If Hillary only won by 1 or 2 points, it's very possible she wouldn't take the lead until the days after the election.

This is a complete fraud!
Trump University is soooo much better than this Electoral College thing!
What is this Electoral College anyway?  Who ever heard of it before?

Seriously, is there any law that bans someone from bribing electors?

The opposite (Donald Trump wins EC despite losing the popular vote) is much more likely to happen.

I think this is pretty obvious: he'd come out defiantly in favor of abolishing the EC, saying he'd held this view for a very, very long time (longer than anybody).

He'd sue the federal government, Hillary herself, and all voters everywhere.

He would get the best Russian lawyers. Believe me.
