Yes. That is how the peaceful transfer of power takes place.
Our Constitution allows for the impeachment (and possible removal) of a president suspected of committing criminal acts. Until that happens, we accept that the person elected by the people is the president.
And if it wasn’t the candidate you wanted, you have two choices:
- Start campaigning for the 2020 election.
- Take up arms and attempt an overthrow of the government.
My draw dropped into my lap when I heard Trump say he would not commit to accepting the outcome of the election.
The peaceful transfer of power is at the foundation of our country’s governmental system.
Seriously, I have been afraid of Trump’s power since the primaries – and I am absolutely NOT a conspiracy theory type of person. In this house, we mock conspiracy theorists for fun!
But he has so much power with his money and his connections. To hear him spout rhetoric like this just strikes me as terrifying and possibly even foreboding.
Praying and praying and praying…
And making sure we have our emergency preparedness supplies in order in case the country dissolves into anarchy and violence on November 9 when it’s confirmed that HC has won the election… or if there’s a zombie apocalypse… or a 3-day blizzard.
In any event, we’ll be prepared.

And for now, I’m voting for Evan McMullin. He won’t win, but at least I’ll have a clear conscience.
