You have a seasoned professional experienced politician with extensive contacts and support and a rich guy with a big mouth. Unless he has a surprise he can pull out of his pocket, it's all over, red rover.
The problem is that the right wing has known for thirty years The seasoned politician had her eye on the white house, so they have steadily and relentlessly manufactured this boogeyman with her name to scare the especially stupid among their own, never anticipating they might actually have to back her against the Orange clown. If anything good has come from this fiasco it's the exposure of the machinations of mainstream media and constructs like citizens United. I predict a groundswell of anti-corporate, anti big business feeling in the next few years. Might see another anti-trust situation like what went on during the industrial revolution. Could get ugly but a lot of good came of that period.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
