Tonight is the night. It all comes down to this. Presidential Candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have gone toe to toe till the very wire. Trump failed to put the nail in the coffin as the FBI Clinton was closed. While many of the polls still favor Clinton, one question lies on the mind of many on the democratic side. What happens if Trump loses and does not Concede?
Trumps rhetoric of a rigged election has created an atmosphere of tension as the candidate refused to commit to conceding if he loses the race. This controversial refusal directly butts heads with Trump’s demand for law and order within the country. A refusal to concede a loss to Clinton would spark outrage and uncertainty with the electoral process and the validity of the results in the eyes of some supporters. of the safety status in the United States.
“Polls show about 27 percent of Trump voters would not accept the results if their candidate lost”

This is a large percentage of Trump supporters that feel disenfranchised by the system. These people have lost trust in their government and without leadership from their candidate to ease the reality of a possible loss, could turn violent.
Trump needs to take charge of his supporters and demand law and order from them despite the outcome of the election. Although the result is not set in stone, it is important to both win and lose with grace. Trump as a future leader of this country needs to lay down the law and help bring the people together in the closing moments of the election. Win or lose we will all still wake up as Americans and together we shall find a way forward in order.
