There will not be a President Trump.
An over-all majority of Republican primary voters have nominated a buffoon. That doesn’t mean a majority of all American voting-age citizens would vote for one, even if the competition is an unappealing dishonest failed former Secretary of State.
Clinton may not warm the hearts of American voters but she will strike most reasonable people as reasonably competent, and a lot of ill-informed or foolish voters will lick their fingers and figure out which direction the wind is blowing and vote for the least scary candidate. When you add those numbers to the minorities who will vote for Clinton in very high numbers– they actually like her!– the idea of Trump assembling a coalition that can win states with a majority of electoral votes is almost impossible to imagine. Sure, Trump will win Texas and Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky and South Carolina and probably Indiana, and bunch of other solidly red states. But Clinton will win California and New York and Illinois and Iowa and other solidly blue states. And of the states in between, Trump will have to win a huge majority of them to take the electoral college, while Clinton only has to win a few.
President Clinton. It’s really not that scary a prospect. The goal of both Clintons has always been power itself– not money or personal advantage or ethnic dominance or fear. Just power. And not power in the raw sense, of power for powers’ sake: I think they probably really do like governing and enacting policies and having some success with them and dodging accountability for the failures. Why not? It’s fun and gratifying. But, sure, they love power.
The advantage of this is that they will do what it takes to stay in power even if that involves occasionally making good choices, like raising the minimum wage and reducing college tuition for needy students, or bad choices like “ending welfare as we know it” or invading Iraq.
I refuse to believe that most American voters, watching the buffoon debate the competent but ethically challenged Clinton, will choose a man who doesn’t even understand how treaties work, and only barely understands the difference between policy and legislation, or the judiciary and Congress.
As several commentators have already pointed out, Obama is going to look like your ex when you begin to realize the mistake you made in splitting up.
