I think it will be fantastic. Better than 2014.

Wailing and gnashing of teeth for the death of the 272 freiwall.

Build a bunker and stock it with enough food and water for the next 4 years.

Pick my chin up off the floor and start planning for the midterms, which, by the way, would be beautiful. The 2018 midterms would be absolutely beautiful.

Yes, we might even cut into their Senate majority by a seat if we can win Nevada! (Assuming we somehow hold Missouri, Montana, and North Dakota!)

Oh, governorships? WHO CARE! As if Trump won't issue executive action overruling them.

TRUMP will probably be a two-term president, though. Smiley Heck, he might even repeal the 22nd amendment Smiley  

4 years, in this case, is not so much a presidential term as the minimal period necessary for a nuclear fallout over the US to stop making life very hard here, south of the border. I wouldn't bother that much in the US: chances of anybody surviving a Trump presidency are pretty slim, in any case.

We might even do away with that pesky constitution!

Presumably the polling would mean that a Trump victory wouldn't be a total shock to the informed posters on this forum.

Since North Dakota will go Republican, and Sandoval and Heller will probably trade jobs, all Democrats have to do is pick up Arizona if Flake retires and have Doggett or someone similar beat Cruz. Then, Matheson could beat Morgan Philpot or Greg Hughes for the Senate.

That's a total of D+2. +Utah, Arizona, Texas; - North Dakota

As long as Toomey, Kirk, Johnson, Heck, Portman, and DeSantis all lose/McGinty, Duckworth, Feingold, Masto, Strickland, and Murphy all win, we could have a Democratic Senate from 2017 to 2021. Furthermore, only Feingold and McGinty have to win to get a 50-50 Senate if it's D+2 in 2018.

As easy as that sounds...

Hilariously. I can see BRTD posting a county map of "Rill Merica" and a red av circle jerk of "wur muh country gone?" Also expect many never Trump people to claim they were for Trump the whole time.

It would be a meltdown, for sure. But if Hillary wins, it will be almost as entertaining.

If Hillary wins and takes a majority in the senate with her, the dems will be proclaimed to have a permanent majority. Invisible Obama will proclaim in bold terms that Jeff Flake is dead and Heidi Heitkamp is Safe. IceSpear will declare that Bob Casey will win 65-35. Jfern will simultaneously call for progressive primary challengers to all dems, saying "you can't go too liberal!!!!". OC will declare his support for a Julian Castro Senate run. Then the actual 2018 will happen, Republicans will gain 6 or 7 or 8 seats (with Flake winning and Heitkamp losing of course), and everyone will be brought firmly back down to earth.

If Hillary wins but the R's still hold the senate majority, the senate and house will be declared Safe R until the end of the Hillary presidency: "America is Sexist! They won't do a thing for Hillary while she's in office", and other silly comments. I'd almost hope for her to get a 2020-22 senate majority just to silence the comments.

If Trump wins, the democratic party will be declared to be dead! Dead I tell you! Dead!: "If they couldn't beat Trump who can they beat?". Then the laughter will begin whenever dems have a good year again, whether that's 2018 or 2020.

Atlas is very predictable.

I will curse, probably throw something and then go into a period of deep thought for several months on one simple question: How stupid are the people of America?  Eventually I will come to terms with the reality of the situation and emerge with a lesser opinion of mankind.

That prediction is probably 90%+ accurate.

Curl into the fetal position as a sobbing mess, eat a whole tub of ice cream, and then die of a despair-induced heart attack.

This is actually spot on and your best post in over 2 years - keep it up.

Good chance I'd actually leave the country for a few years.
