Here's How A President Of The United States Dies At The White House.

It starts by having nothing but contempt for democracy, the rule of law and precious federal institutions. Make no mistake, only an autocrat or a tyrant in the making would go that route. It's all about holding on to power -- any which way but loose with a total disregard for the political system, its stability and the best interests of the nation and its people.

Once again, it's all about him and his tremendous pride and ego. He simply can't stomach the loss -- largely self-inflicted given that the guy on his best day ain't exactly nice or principled. I have no time for political despots of a totalitarian variety, whether they come in fascist or communist form.

The American people have spoken and highly civilized citizens and residents have largely grudgingly accepted the result. 46 is on the way and the transition needs to get in high gear.

But not in the Oval Office where heated discussions are all about declaring martial law to keep the president-elect out. 

Well you know what, to betray the American constitution, you need military help -- you know the military, those gals and guys who quite literally have given their blood and lives for the country, who've sworn an oath to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic and to preserve the constitution.

Sure, a minority in the armed forces will no doubt rally to his side but not most of the troops. They know that in January, the United States will have a new commander in chief and they as always will faithfully serve the new president.

So, that means converging on The White House with military muscle, should that become necessary and getting him out by force come hell or high water. No one wants that. The White House is no bunker and democracy has no chapter about last stands.

In the event of such a horrible calamity, soldiers will do their job and lives will be lost on both sides. And worse than that, it will be like putting a match to gunpowder all across the United States. That means civil war if the transition does not go the way of every peaceful political transition in the long history of the Republic.

In other words, be careful what you wish for, or plan for, because millions of Americans could potentially pay the ultimate price in its wake.

An American president is all about the best interests of the country and her people, whether they voted for him or not.

With God's help, it won't be any different this time.
