Frankly, I'm a lot more concerned about what happens if Trump wins, which pollsters are saying is a very distinct possibility right now.

Did you read the John Kelly interview in the New York Times yesterday? Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, spelled out in agonizing detail how much Trump is a fascist and an authoritarian. He told stories about the White House that would be enough to raise the hairs on anyone's arms.

He says he's realistically afraid that Trump will set himself up as a fascist dictator. And these superstitious freaks you're writing about are some of the people that he'll be rewarding with political favors.

If he wins, they're going to hold a lot of power. And that frightens me a lot more than what might happen if he loses.

If he loses, there may be a violent response, but the United States can crush that violent response. We can destroy these people.

So I'm not much afraid of that possibility.
