Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

So...............will Clinton win or Trump? I don't think it really matters at this point as the country is as divided as its ever been. Either one will never be able to do right for their term. Oh well. Maybe next time.

I think it will matter a lot in terms of how the country is led domestically, and in terms of the country's relationships with foreign friends and foes.

I also think it will matter a lot, maybe most, beyond the elected candidate's presidency. The next president will be appointing at least one Supreme Court justice (and probably two or three Justices in the course of his/her four or eight year term).

If Clinton wins, which I think is likely, she'll be able to be more effective if the Senate and/or House loses Republican majority status in next year's Congressional elections.

Some Republican politicians who support the 'Republican candidate' but aren't willing to endorse Trump are now outwardly proclaiming that their focus is solely on trying to keep Congressional seats in swing states filled by Republicans (which they have assessed as being at risk due to Trump's candidacy).

Today, Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewindowsky, was fired. It'll be interesting to see if a reorganization of his campaign structure will help Trump rebound from growing unfavorable ratings over the last month (after his public allegations against the federal judge and his remarks following the Orlando massacre). I don't think he's lost his die-hard Republican supporters, but that's not a large portion of the American population who'll be voting in the general.
