      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.

          Only thing that will really change the GOP is losing president big and then losing midterm. Won't happen as long as Dems go as is

          Does his margin of defeat really matter? He'll offer the same dolchstoss excuse - and his supporters will believe it - either way.

          the only issue I have with this argument is that it presupposes that Trump's damage as POTUS would be mitigated by Congress

          a GOP controlled Congress with a Trump administration would be the swiftest death-knell for most modern liberal programs

          I think this truly exaggerates Trump's power. A big loss will certainly makes space for investigating Trump's numerous frauds.

          Beautifully written. The years ahead will be rocky no matter who wins. But yes, the bigger the loss the better.
