<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll start you off:<\/p>\n
Clinton orders a no-fly-zone in Syria, and knocks a Russian plane out of the sky, causing Russian retaliation.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s footsie with Putin emboldens him to move troops into Estonia, claiming ethnic Russian Estonians are suffering.<\/p>\n
Or maybe Putin does so in retaliation for the Syrian thing.<\/p>\n
Clinton shuts down the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation and replaces everyone in the FBI who won\u2019t swear allegiance to her.<\/p>\n
Trump shuts down Trump University lawsuits.<\/p>\n
Clinton shuts down immigration enforcement, and, when a massive surge of Mexicans, Central Americans, and Venezuelans arrive, says, \u201cit\u2019s our duty to accept them just as the Europeans accepted Syrian refugees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump launches a massive trade war with tariffs on China, Mexico, and so on.<\/p>\n
Clinton, controlled by handlers all along because of her medical issues, cannot effectively meet with foreign leaders and the next summit becomes and embarrassment to the United States.<\/p>\n
Trump gropes Angela Merkel or Theresa May, or both.<\/p>\n
Trump wakes up on the wrong side of bed and decides to launch a missile at Pyongyang.<\/p>\n
Which of these scenarios are plausible, or even possible? \u00a0Which are simply alarmist, because there are too many checks and balances and neither of these candidates are crazy, in the end?<\/p>\n
Your turn.<\/p>\n
