Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I don't, but it's been his biggest selling point to his fans. It had some validity within the GOP, but when looking at the nation as a whole where the struggle between the 1% and the rest of us is far more important than the struggle between the "political establishment" and the rest of us, it's just silly.

Dear Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, I Am Not Sidney Blumenthal

I have placed no credence in anything coming from Snowden or Assange since it became obvious- to me, anyway- that they were Putin stooges. It seems laughable- to me, anyway- to assume that anything coming from them is valid and authentic.

"The Establishment" is a very flexible construct. It's usually what- or whoever a group playing "poor oppressed me" chooses as a uniting foe. Sometimes known as "the man." Trump can be counted non-establishment because he's not an official part of the government, even though according to him related to contributions, he's probably had more of an impact on legislation than a lot of back-bench Congressmen.

in the dunald context it is simply code for racism

that is his base, has been since he started pushing the birther lie and still is his only solid platform

If he loses in a close race, he'll contest it.

If he loses by a landslide - despite Liarbart Breitbart and other polls telling him otherwise - then obviously the vote was rigged.

He has no practical way to contest it. As you know, all presidential elections are conducted by states. And each state has its own laws on how or if recounts and challenges can be made. So if he doesn't like the outcome, he'd have to start with a particular state, allege a specific issue, and - the difference would have to be such that it could affect the overall outcome of the election. Meaning that it would have to be enough to change the allocation of electoral votes AND re-allocation of those votes would change the winner. Othewise, he can "accept" or not, who cares.
