What Happens if Donald Trump Loses and Won't Concede?

Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the presidential election as rigged and refused to commit to conceding if he loses the race.

As Election Day begins, some are asking what would happen if Trump loses and declines to concede.

The answer is: Nothing.

His aides can build him a movie set Oval office in Trump tower and he can play President because his consession isn't required.

Nothing would happen unless he has standing to take it to court.

I think Preibus should threaten him and tell him if he doesn't concede his political career is over.  :silly:

What happens if Hillary Clinton loses and won't concede. Notice the slant here? There trying to establish a physiological per-condition in your mind.

Good point, but I think it would be freaking awesome if that happened.  Maybe a chance to clear out someone of the country's cobwebs.

I hope it doesn't come to this, from either party.
While I supported Bush, I think 2000 had a big hand in bringing us where we are today, with all the divisiveness that caused.

I saw Frank Luntz on 60 minutes Sunday.
Pretty interesting.
The folks he had in his polling group where going at each other, like we do, and we are Conservatives/Republicans (and conservative republicans).
Throw in democrats and it was crazy.
Yet, at the end they all wanted the same thing.
Forgive, forget, shake hands, and move on, and try all again in 4 more years.
I am for that.

I've heard several people say they won't forget this side or that side, but I think we should try to, and try to unite on what we can agree on first, then move next to solve the differences.
Conservative doctrine, of course     ^-^

They were convinced by some that they were robbed in 2000, even though the recounts showed that not to be the case.
They've gone into guerrilla mode now, convince we want to steal everything of theirs.
Of course, it isn't true.
The man they elected bailed out banks, auto makers, and heaped a ton of debt on them through Obamacare, while they lost jobs and homes.
Not sure what else we can show them on the other side, but it won't stop me from trying.
Got nothing to lose by trying.

Screw that.  @cuky voted for Evan McMullin, and now if Castle doesn't win, he's going to be answering to me.  And Huckabee.  Oh, and Christie.  And Romney's neighbor's fat uncle.  We gots some long memories (well, three of us anyway, Romney's neighbor's fat uncle used to be a rodeo clown and took a couple too many kicks to the head back in the days when Ma Bell owned your phone and you only locked your AMC Javelin's doors so no one would steal your Chicago's Greatest Hits 8 track tape).  It's on.

She's more likely than he to refuse to concede.
