We've had bad presidents before and if we get one again it won't be the end of the world, but what I'm really worried about is getting a bad dictator. In 2016 Trump said he would abide by the election results *only* if he won, it was bad enough when he was only a candidate but now he's Commander In Chief with tanks at his command. Even when he won he was a sore winner and said the election was fake, if he looses in 2020 do you really think he will be a good sport about it? Even if Trump loses in a landslide in the 2020 election I would say there is a 40% chance he will say the election was fake and try to stay in office long after January 2021 and claim he will reschedule a new election at some vague unspecified future date. And if there is an inverse of the 2016 situation and Trump wins the popular vote but loses in the Electoral College I think it's virtually certain he will need to be dragged out of the Oval Office by armed guards, the trouble is Trump will have armed guards of his own. I don't know if Trump's attempt to become dictator will be successful, he's not very bright so that's a good sign, but even if he fails it will be ugly, such a power grab will lead to blood literally flowing in the streets.
