I know his intentions.  I know his signals.  I am asking you to consider
what he might actually DO if he loses, and actually confront it instead of
just hint at it.  What forces could he still marshal at that point, and how

Because this is a lot more probable than him getting fairly elected at this
point.  If you want to focus on the nightmare, please at least focus on
more likely nightmares.
