CNN and all the rest can talk about how close the polls are, but I don't think it'll matter in the long run. It really does look like Trump has this election in the bag. Not bad for a meme, all things considered.
Now, I've heard plenty of talk about out America's going to Hell in a handbasket if he does win (along with some less pleasant things that I dare not bring up now). I've heard it on the web and in person, but I don't really think the US is doomed just because of this. A goal cannot be achieved without a coherent plan to get there, and what I know of Trump's goals is that there's very little in the way of getting them done, outside of getting (taxpayer dollars and) Mexico to cover the cost of the mythical wall. And considering how politically radicalized both sides of the spectrum have become, such plans won't be passed any more easily than Obamacare was.
Is Trump going to be a popular president? Not likely. Is he getting the boot in 2020? Probably, if he handles the country badly enough (which all signs point towards, admittedly). But if eight years of Bush couldn't run this country into the ground, then I'll hedge my bets and say that doomsday for us isn't as near as it seems. I foresee the future to be quite a bumpy ride, but not one that's going over a bottomless pit in 100 days.
Then again, I am an unapologetic optimist as of late, so perhaps there's deeper things that I'm not seeing.
