Will he offend liberal sensibilities if elected? Sure -- and I think as badly as Maine Governor Paul LePage.

He has yet to establish paramilitary militias whose blind obedience will allow them to do any act of violence.

He does seem to be in the process of recruiting them, or at least inviting or suggesting them to establish such a militia.

On the whole he does seem to promise a "flexible" approach to working with congress now. If he wins, though, he won't have to be too flexible. We can assume he'll have a congress that is right wing in that event; even perhaps a Republican Senate that will abolish the filibuster and go for the "nuclear option." Whatever the dear leader wants.

I expect Clinton to win. However, it appears to me that most of the violence has been against Trump supporters.

No, it's been on both sides. But Trump stirs it up; Sanders and Clinton do not.

I think the "both sides" coupled with "Sanders and Clinton" represents a big misunderstanding about the recent protests we have seen such as in San Diego, San Jose, Albuquerque.

These really didn't get going until the primaries moved out to the Southwest with very prominent and vocal Hispanic populations. It is a reaction to Trump's racism.  I'm sure there are more than a few (hopefully, former) Republicans in those protests that are particularly pissed off that a racist has hijacked their party.

If Trump had come to NYC and said that the Irish are murderers and rapists, and said that anyone of Irish heritage could not judge fairly from the bench due to that heritage, we would have put his head on a spike (preferable an Orange one, wink-wink). The Irish know not to give any quarter to such an a-hole.
