Hillary is in a tie in most H2H with Trump right now, and she has 9 months of landmines to avoid. She's crafty (and a liar) so maybe she can do it, but if she steps on even one she's probably done.
I guess I'm refusing to give American voters credit, whereas other people think that America will be like Canada and won't really fall for it when the chips are down. We'll see, but American voters do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. They tend to pretty consistently vote against their own interests. It's on them to prove me otherwise, not for me to trust they won't elect a maniac like Trump.

A write in or 3rd party candidate has never performed well in a general election. I don't expect 2016 to be any different.
