Worst case scenario for Hillary: she loses the election and Barry "forgets" to pardon her.

Re: 2016 Election
The funny thing is, many of the "problems" superman will solve are relatively inconsequential, or nonexistent in the first place.
It'll be interesting to see how Americans feel by the end of the first term, when it will become obvious that the beacon of power and prosperity he promises just ain't happening, in the midst of a trade war with most of the rest of the world, a declining economy and even more political vitriol - against Trump himself.
And then whoever gets voted in after that will have a horrible mess to clean up, and a very badly damaged reputation to repair. In the worst case, irreparable.

Re: 2016 Election
How can a candidate make all these wild promises, knowing full well that he'll sit atop a congress composed of both democrats and republicans, the vast majority of which would enjoy nothing more than to see him strung up by the balls.
Maybe that's his "unifying" strategy: Bi-partisan hatred of the president.

So, less than 24 hours after the convention closed, Trump is already publically bullying and degrading Pence. He's getting slow!

He will probably ask his people to start a series of negotiations on bilateral trade agreements with various countries, starting with the UK. His tax plan might get a hearing on the Hill. The Supreme Court? Even with a 4 - 4 split, most of his stuff that gets there will be overturned. If the Dems control the Senate, Scalia's seat may remain unfilled for a long time.
What we can expect is that the Democrats and their allies in the main stream media will launch an endless war with Trump, making their attacks on Reagan look like a church strawberry ice cream social. If he wins, which I doubt, he will serve only one term. Maybe then my guy, Marco, will get his shot.
