I'm panicking because Hillary needs to win by a lot.
If she wins by less than 5, we will be entering a very dark age in US politics.
You do realise that's happening regardless. If Republicans can see past Trump and still vote for him, then they can reasonably nominate anyone for local or national office.
If he loses in a landslide, they will understand that nominating people like him is not a viable strategy.
If he loses narrowly, they'll rationalize it away and try again in 2020. And maybe win.
'They' are GOP primary voters. And a 20 point loss wouldn't put them off because they are disconnected from the mainstream.
I'm talking about the GOP establishment. They could have easily stopped the madness if they really wanted to, but instead they went along with it.
I disagree. The GOP establishment didnt do anything because too many candidates were seeking their attention. If only one of Bush/Rubio/Christie/Walker/Graham/Pataki/Kasich declared, the establishment would have rallied behind the one and Trump wouldn't have been the nominee
