Clinton becomes the nominee and is easily defeated by a Trump Kasich ticket.
We now have President Trump, who winds up being a center right president (much like Obama). He doesn't do what the frothing masses want him to do, so they are angry at him... BUT because expectations are so low, the very act of not fucking up on a mass scale gets people to think "Hmm, he ain't so bad". I watched this happen in California with Ahhnold.
I think Trump can completely abandon the morons upon whose back he rode into the nomination and not face serious consequences because of it. These are the same idiots who continued to approve of bush even after the country went to complete hell. When it became obvious his promise of protecting "traditional marriage" (whatever the fuck that is) with a constitutional amendment never even got started.. they stuck with him. Even when the country was in the worst recession since the 1930s, he STILL had 27% support (those are the tigers trump has by the tail and they are too stupid to even realize when they have been played).
Again, this may be me psychologically mitigating what I fear may be to come and justifying that I will live through it.
