Reply To: Here is a not so hypothetical question

CTLawyer –

“If Trump is sworn in on January 20th, then he will have been inaugurated…too late for fantasies about it not happening.”

Obviously, I knew that once sworn in, he will have been inaugurated – the absurdity of the question was exactly my point. The people who have been making all this noise certainly knew that all their efforts all this time have been as futile as they would be come January 21.

“Yes, I voted for Secretary Clinton”

For the record, I could not bring myself to vote for either Trump or Clinton. Further for the record, my write-in candidate still has not conceded the election.

Almost certainly, indeed…”

The certified winner should be sworn in on January 20th. BUT only Hashem knows what may occur between now and January 20th. I wish Trump no harm, but maybe Moshiach will come before noon on January 20, 2017″

All true, but I think that you misunderstood the phrase “almost certainly” in the original (which was an AP article published on Yahoo). The way the sentence is structured, it means that the winner almost certainly will be Trump, and in context it teases the remote possibility that Joe Biden, as President of the Senate, would somehow prevent such a result from being certified.

And, of course, I never meant that all Clinton supporters are fantasizing about preventing Trump from being inaugurated.
