(3,018 posts)40. OK, here's the scenario.
At the end of his term, the election for the next president will be interrupted. Ice agents will begin to collect ballot boxes from “flawed election states”… it will be impossible to determine who the winner was. As the so-called “investigations go forward”…Trump tells the public that he must remain in office until we’re able to sort out the actual winner of the election…. I think you could say that we have a constitutional crisis at this point…. It could get messy..

IMHO, I think for those thinking he won't make it, that's wishful thinking. He's doing pretty well for an 80 year old.

The military can't do that. Any General who would actually lead and organize against the government would be violating

I think you misjudge our current military. I have faith that the US military will not let Trump subvert the constitution
