OR does Trump go right back to donating money to Clinton and inviting her to weddings? He seems to have various forms of memory loss.
He also seems to really LOVE the adulation from his followers.
Maybe some version of Sarah Palin? TV shows, book deals..
Yes, sadly, there's little chance that Trump will go gentle into that good night.
of course. this is what this whole charade has been about in the first place.
it just happened that he ended up finishing first out of 17 candidates...

Go for the landslide.
We need to send the rest of the world a message that the American people repudiate the horrific and disgusting views espoused by the right-wing candidate as well as his calls for unconscionable violence.
Onamuji made the first and best comment in my book.
For what it's worth, I think this would be best for the Republicans too, so they can begin to divest themselves of the cruft of 35 years of dog-whistle racism, anti-intellectual posing and conspiracy-theory nuts. That base is poison and the only way they're going to get rid of it is the clean bone-jarring break of an election catastrophe. Let those folks form their own nutjob rump party and the rest can go back to old-style Eisenhower Republicanism (not that that was perfect...) and begin to attract the center again.
Anything less will almost insure we'll have Trump and his ilk to kick around for a looong time.
