On the whole, Trump's most loyal followers represent a compelling argument for the return of both forced sterilization, and frontal lobotomy.

The fact that Clinton holds a double digit lead in all the major polls and has been given a 90% chance of winning should prepare the Trumpists for the strong possibility of defeat. But those numbers mean nothing to people who've been told by their leader that the mainstream media is 100% pro-Clinton and who derive their "information" from the Drudges, Limbaughs, and Breitbarts of the world. "Reality" seems to be some meaningless abstract concept that has no bearing on their lives.

In a way, I hope that a defeated Trump does fly off the handle and say something that can be interpreted as issuing a "call to arms" to his faithful. Then he can be arrested and held without bail until he's prosecuted for incitement to riot, at the least, and possibly for advocating the overthrow of the US government by violent means. To recycle one of the Donald's own rallying cries, "Lock her him up! Lock her him up! Lock her him up!"
