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.
