I've said it before, but I'm glad that she lost. Trump is exactly the disaster that Democrats in 2018 need to win state governments in order to have a say in redistricting.

And we're ruling out of the possibility of another major terrorist attack in the next year because...?A 9/11 repeat at this point would be near-perfect for Trump. Whether or not the attackers had anything to do with the country's targeted by his travel ban wouldn't matter for too many people. Sure, the left would point out that he failed to keep America safe, and that nothing he'd suggested or tried would have prevented the attack. But that wouldn't matter.
Trump would peg his xenophobia, declare national security for everything, and create the police state he craves. He'd probably invade someplace, too. The economy would enjoy a few years of surge from the wave of deficit military and security spending. Every single problem will be blamed on foreigners and Democrats. The GOP would back him to the hilt on every bit of it.
The final result would be a US more like Russia than anything else: broken economy, corrupt one-party oligarchy, not quite a pariah state but disliked internationally, and always invading countries (only we'd go afield, while Russia stays close to its borders). And with a hefty helping of theocracy (and continuing to deal with the Saudis, of course). A nation that will be left behind by the future, unless it succeeds in killing the future first.
