I truly, honestly feel ill to my stomach...

I'm concerned that the Donald is going to "unexpectedly" need to under go a medical procedure, forcing him to drop out of the race... No doubt, that would trigger havoc in the GOP, but I remember all too well at the distances they will travel to rig an election.

Florida 2000.

Hillary Clinton isn't exactly popular outside of the Democratic Party, and she's not been able to truly unify the party, either. Most of the unity is about defeating Trump. Take him out of the mix, and she's going to lose some, but not all, of those lesser evil votes.

I think her best chance is against Trump.

Required disclaimer: I want her to beat Trump. Being honest about her likability problem does not violate the TOS.
