      1. There's a theory, floated by @DouthatNYT & others, that a narrow Trump loss would be a desirable outcome. I disagree.

      2. A narrow Trump loss (as against a landslide defeat) would be fraught with all sorts of dangers.

      3. A narrow loss will allow Trump to complain of voter fraud. To salvage his ego, he'd be more than willing to bring on a legitimacy crisis

      4. Trump would have ready audience stabbed in back narrative, like this woman who wants "revolution' if Clinton winshttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mike-pence-revolution_us_57fdaaa6e4b0e9c70229deba …

      5. The flip side is that the stronger Trump is as a national voice post-election, the more Trumpized GOP will be.

      6. A narrow loss means 2020 GOP nominee could be Trump again or someone Trump-like (Ivanka). A crushing defeat makes it harder.

          Trump is just making way for his son... Seems pretty clear.

          at some point the GOP will become the official American political party of the Russian gov't.

          Is there a parallel with JM Le Pen and daughter Marine? Have the Trumps injected enough of their DNA in the GOP to make it theirs?

          Ivanka 2020? Huh? Her campaign wouldnt be anything like #DonaldTrump's. Ted Cruz et al would eat her lunch @HeerJeethttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/786245187735400448 …

          agreed. The entire party needs to be annihilated, electorally speaking.
