What does Trump's concession speech sound like? What do we expect him to do these next few weeks as he circles the drain?
Here's one opinion from my favorite blogger (excerpted from the essay, "Salt the Earth" at ginandtacos.com):

If he can't win, then causing as much misery and destruction as possible on his way to the losers' podium is the next best thing. I still expect this to culminate with an insistence shortly before Election Day – timing the announcement to cause maximum damage to the GOP he now hates as much as the Democrats – that his supporters shouldn't bother voting, that he never really wanted to be president anyway, and that he's come to the conclusion that America does not deserve his genius. He's been laying the groundwork for his post-defeat narrative since the summer, creating a "Stab in the Back" legend before the ballots even had his name printed on them.
