I expect it's many more than 10 Republican Senators who feel that way.  It's probably only 10 who've actually voiced those fears and discussed it with their colleagues.  I don't think that the election will be all that close, either in popular vote or in electoral votes that there will be much chance of Trump having a viable course of legal action.   Even Republican pollsters are saying that Trump's got very little chance of winning.  That doesn't mean that Trump wouldn't try the courts or that he wouldn't try to rally his Trumplets via social media to protest in the streets etc.   Supporting Trump in refusing to leave office after losing the election would be the kiss of death to any politician.   It would forever tarnish "Republican" with the "traitor" label, and doom the GOP's electoral prospects for the foreseeable future, maybe forever (ie, it would be replaced with another conservative party).   

 

If Covid Donnie is defeated and refuses to leave, I think both Congress and the Supreme Court will turn on him.  The SCOTUS will throw out his legal appeals because they believe in the rule of law, and the House will impeach him and the US Senate will vote him out of office unless somebody can persuade him to resign.   Pence will be POTUS until January 20, 2021.  The GOP will then try to figure out how to rebuild from the political disaster that was Donald J Trump while the country as a whole will struggle to recover from the social and economic disaster that Covid Donnie visited upon this country.  

 

The new Congress sworn in on January 3, 2021 will pass a constitutional amendment providing for the removal of a POTUS if Congress determines that he's unfit for office and send it out to the states for ratification.   It will be ratified, possibly in record time.   The 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 25th amendments were all proposed and ratified in response to economic or political issues that arose shortly before their proposals.

 

My guess is that it will be decades at least before the American electorate takes another flyer on a some wannabe President without some political experience.

Ummm ... how can a prediction be a "hoax"? 

 

What do you think will happen when Covid Donnie loses and refuses to accept it?

He only knows about 10 words, so cut him some slack. He also knows Commie, pound sand, and a couple others.

good news

 

no need to worry about Trump refusing to leave

 

looks like he will dominate by end of election day, including the popular vote, and Rs to win in both Senate and House

 

lead will be too big for bogus ballots to matter

Thanks Carnac.   Can you also share next week's lotto numbers?

 

Nope.

 

Much tougher odds on lotto.

We'll see.

 

Just curious, were you one of the ones last week predicting a blowout of the Jets Sunday?

 

Nope.

 

Won't predict a Bills blowout for the rest of the season.

  Reportedly?  Supposedly?  What are you going to do for paranoid fantasies once the election passes?  Trump is hiding in your closet and jumps out during the middle of the night to scare you?  

 

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of criminals who want to be dictators.

 

How about me and you make a wager on whether Trump will declare victory, tomorrow. 

 

You got the balls to do it or are you just as cowardly as your leader?

Weren't you the one talking about the reported/supposed diary?

 

Not much news from that, eh?

  I did not put a timeline on that if you would remember back.  No skin off of my nose if you choose not to believe it.

  Want to be dictators?  He is going to be more than one dictator?  How is he going to do that?  Not that I believe you at all.  As to wagers I don't believe that you would follow through such as permanent exile from this board so there is no point in it.  Why are you worried about my balls?  THAT scares me!
