Trump would be a one termer, and hopefully Hillary would get the message that it's never going to happen for her, and she would just stop running, and the second term would be a more progressive democrat, and help move the party in the correct direction. 4 years of libertarianism with a dose of racism added in, followed by potentially 4 years of lefty policies.
Hillary on the other hand could possibly be a two termer of neoliberalism- or if one term, she would be replaced by a republican anyway. And some certainly believe the Clinton policies have promoted racism. So 8 years of right wing policies and some racism either way.
I disagree with some here who think it's about hating her as an individual. I'm sure that's true for some voters, but I really think it has more to do with hating corporate control of our country and understanding that the 1% are really having control of ALL aspects of our world.
Also I think there's some confusion as to Trump's sincerity vs, pandering to the right for votes - he might be a democrat running as a republican, while hillary's a ... well, let's just say a right-of-center politician ... running as a democrat.
