Clinton, if she doesn't get arrested and wins the presidency, will have the support of her party and even some of the other guys. As well, if she gets elected, I'd suspect that a number of republicans will be replaced by democrats, due mainly to their backing of Mr.Trump. That's not to say that she will get anything done either, but she'll have a better chance.
Anyway, that's how I see it. YMMV.

The election is months away, but I am giving Trump very little chance to win. I think it will be a landslide victory for Hillary. Too bad, because she looks extremely beatable now, but the Republicans have a complete baffoon as their nominee.. Oh well, maybe 2020..:
I'd say Fred Smith is way too smart to get involved with this...

But more importantly, the idea that anything good gets done in DC is exactly why guys like Trump and Sanders are in the political mix at all. And...back to the point of this thread, why guys like Fred Smith are the perfect antidote to our worthless professional political class whose most significant accomplishment in the last two decades is ringing up a $21 TRILLION dollar debt. F them all. This year I'm voting for every candidate on my ballot who has no more than two years of experience working in DC.
I believe that there are no more primaries left to be decided. The last one was in Washington D.C., yesterday. Ms. Clinton had a substantial win, garnering almost 80 percent of the votes, to Mr. Sanders 20 percent. As well, the democrats will certainly be united, due in large measure to Mr. Trump.
I don't disagree with your assessment of the situation in Washington, and as well, your feeling about Mr. Smith's qualifications, however, Mr. Smith has too much respect for himself (I believe), to ever want to be associated with Mr. Trump.

Everytime something "gets done" in DC, the people get screwed.
