What if Trump loses but refuses to leave office? Here's the worst case scenario.

I'd think that would be SCOTUS' fall back if called to make a decision in which there was not agreement.
This would have the House vote for President. Senate for VP.
The House is a near sure thing.
The Senate might well have a small handful of crossover R's supporting a VP of Biden's choosing if popular vote is clear. Not the same as an impeachment, stability might well be the preferred outcome, perhaps with some moderate cabinet members from the GOP "Lincoln" sort of crew.
We are talking about Washington DC here are we not? Since when has stability ever been a part of any equation involving DC. It is all about power and who has control over that power. If you think having Biden as POTUS is the equivalent of the nation having stability... It is the same insanity, just comes from a different wing of the insane asylum. I believe you are a fiscal conservative moderate republican? You think Biden will tighten up the purse strings on federal spending? This is not an argument for trump. I am only stating the obvious. The nation under Biden will be just as fouled up as it is today. How much do you want to guess where our debt goes under POTUS Biden? I'm guessing 35 trillion and I am probably low. That has to just warm the cackles of your heart MD as a fiscal conservative?
