I think some people vote for Mr. What is Aleppo exactly because they know
he has no chance of winning, when the president does something they don't
like, and no matter who wins that's going to happen sooner of later, they
want to say "hey don't blame me me I didn't vote for him (or her)". I can
only speak for myself but if Trump wins I'm not going to put the Mr. What
is Aleppo crowd in my blameless book.

Trump could do what he did in 2012 when the election didn't turn out as he
wished, call for an insurrection:  

*"We should have a revolution in this country! We can't let this
happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty."*

Back
 in 2012 people just ignored the bozo but there are a lot more deplorables
in Trump's basket now in 2016. Will people ignore Trump's call to arms
again like they did 4 years ago?  I don't know but I do know there is no
shortage of stupid in the world.
But let's suppose Trump wins (and there is still about one chance in 6 that
he will)
;
once Trump gets into power how will we ever get him out?
