Probably Hillary wins, but that damn Comey letter could still screw things up. Probably not enough to be decisive in this case however. Pence wouldn't have the same fanatic base as Trump, whose diehards would probably be furious and think Trump was forced out by the GOP establishment. Meaning many would likely stay home. Plus the whole thing would be unprecedented -- no party has ever had to replace a candidate at the last minute because of scandal. That would have been the main focus of the rest of the campaign even with the Comey thing. Which might not have as big an impact because the GOP literally had to replace their guy for being such a sleazy POS. Turns out riding it out and sticking with Trump was likely the best move for the Republicans after all, even if many of them didn't recognize it at the time.
