This is why some people say Drumpf is the catalyst to fixing some of the US political problems. Trump will be so bad as president that this probably force a midterm defeat for the GOP in Congress/Senate and full term defeat that will blast past gerrymandering and force a rebuild of that party into a coherent political entity. So probably only two to four years of bad policies/embarrassment that can be unwound in a single term.
Under Clinton a scandal mired presidency would probably further entrench a GOP dominated Senate and Congress pushing at lease a decade of GOP political dominance.
Argument being that Trump will have to moderate to have a chance in the general and given that he has already flip flopped on many things, including debates, positions, etc. Trump is a smart man who knows how to manipulate a crowd, he'll do so readily moderate once campaigning for the general/in his presidency. Mind you his economic plan will be a small disaster into itself, but chances of him getting what he wants through the rest of gov't is minimal.
