It’s still possible that Mr. Donald J. Trump could be the next president of the United States. But it’s quite unlikely, and he seems to be preparing for his historic loss:
His only hope is that Hillary Clinton might self-destruct, leaving him as the sole electable survivor of this year’s presidential reality show. And she could, conceivable. She’s a terrible candidate, the second most unpopular in modern history. But she’s running against the most unpopular. Lucky Hillary. Trumpulism managed to impose on the Republican Party the one candidate to whom she virtually could not lose.

Will it leave the United States with, effectively, a one-party system?

Ben Shapiro eloquently explains why conservatives should not support Mr. Donald J. Trump:
“Trump is Conservatism’s Dunkirk”
Mr. Trump is an unspeakably awful candidate:
“Many people are saying — that Trump drives conspiracies and gossip”
But his wife would surely represent a novelty among First Ladies:
So whose fault will it be, when Mr. Donald J. Trump is revealed as (his words) a “pathetic loser”?
