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.
Lot of truth in this. Remember most of the people who elected Trump nominee will still be around to vote for him or his equivalent in 2020.
"We lost because we didn't pick a True Conservative."
"We lost because we didn't pick
the right kind of True Conservative."
"We lost because our True Conservative wasn't outsidery enough."
"We lost because our outsider said words like 'pussy' and the media hated him because they hate outsiders and they hate America."
2020: Some amalgamation of Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, and Howard Stern.
