I’m not afraid or worried about the survival of the United States under either a President Clinton or a President Trump.
Clinton earned my vote because I think she’s smarter, she’s tougher, she’s more qualified in temperament and related experience, her plans are more realistic and detailed, she’s more inclusive, and I know the country is not going to hell in a hand basket with Trump as our sole potential savior, as Trump and his paranoid fans and cohorts insist (it’s just the opposite economically). Even if I did believe Trump's end of days rhetoric, he'd be among the last people I'd trust to save us all.
The smarter Republicans with future political aspirations know that Trump has greatly harmed the growth/expansion strategies they devised to keep the shrinking Republican party alive after the Romney loss. If Donald Trump is elected President, I believe they'll be working against a President Trump on many fronts, either overtly or covertly. Trump would be rendered a lame duck by the infighting within his own adopted party, in my opinion.
If Hillary Clinton is elected the next President of the United States, I believe that she'll try to work across the aisle, as she claims and as she's done in the past. I also think she'll likely have a Democratic Senate majority when she takes office, which will help her get some things done relatively quickly, despite high-profile Republicans on The Hill insisting that obstructing and jailing her will be their top priorities. And, if the GOP continues with that obstructionist bullshit, I expect the Democrats will keep the Senate majority in 2018 and may win the House majority then, which would also enable a President Hillary Clinton to accomplish more of her goals in a 4-year term.
Anyway, I believe the U.S. would be in better shape domestically and globally under a Clinton administration, but I have no doubt that the country will survive no matter which candidate is elected.
