I don't want to see it. They're going to take hostages. They're going to do terrible things to minorities, probably. And yeah, all he has to do is stand on the stage on election night and say "this election was stolen from us by a criminal, who we can't accept as our president", and all these things will happen.
Not to draw a parallel beyond the numbers, but people often point out how ISIS is really not a large group of people - numbering in the thousands, rather than millions. Well, how many crazy Trump supporters with guns do you think it'll take to cause complete and utter chaos in the USA? Not that many.
Granted, this is a worst case scenario and I think it's more likely that cooler heads prevail. But he's still creating the potential for this and then throwing gas on the fire. It's completely unamerican, and as Clinton said, horrifying. And it all appears to be for the sake of his ego, so that he can save face when he does lose and protect his brand. The fact that he's willing to create an environment that very easily could lead to innocent deaths for his own personal gain is... what's the phrase I'm looking for... right, a "total disaster".
