In fairness I think that both Clinton and Sanders will challenge it a bit more than Gore did back in the day.

If this stock market chaos results in a poor economy leading up to the election. If Trump can turn out the conservative base, but for some reason we don't. If they continue their dirty voter supression tricks...

The bad news is, one of those nutcases is going to be the GOP candidate, even if Trump isn't. And they're all basically the same, even if some appear scarier than others. And whoever it is has a non-trivial shot at actually winning.

Trump would clearly just phone it in. It would be presidency by corporate lobbyists.

Ted Cruz would be a presidency ushering in a pseudo-Christian nation with massive oppression of women and minorities.

He's not giving up his shady deals, not tying himself to a desk, and he sure as hell isn't moving to Washington. These things would all cut into his Twitter time.
