   Trump is going to lose by a landslide. The American press are
   pretending it's not a shutout because otherwise they'd have nothing to
   report and people would accuse them of being biased. They are, and
   people accuse them of it anyway, but Trump is so unpopular that it
   appears inconceivable that he could have been nominated by a mainstream
   party, but the only reason he's even on the stage is that the
   Republican party is in the process of self-destruction. This is
   unprecedented in living memory, and certainly since the existence of
   television or radio and the 24 hour news cycle, so few people realize
   that this is what it looks like.

   Go read up on the election of 1872. The roles of the parties were
   basically reversed, with the Democrats being the dying party of the
   angry white man, throwing their support to the nominee of the Liberal
   Republicans because they hated Grant so much. Grant himself was
   surrounded by scandal but still managed to get the Republican
   nomination uncontested and then win by a landslide. I imagine he was
   more popular than Clinton, but then again Greeley was undoubtedly far
   more popular than Trump. As were the two guys who split the electoral
   vote after he died.
