With Trump representing republicans and many defecting to Gary Johnson (yes, even now the Libertarian is actually polling upwards of 10% against Clinton and Trump, 15% being the bar needed to participate in the later debates but already appearing on ballots in all 50 states), it still seems like Hilary, who has a stranglehold on the super delegates and popular vote (among democrats) and is expected to win California shortly, will wind up being the least popular elected president that I'm aware of.
The guys at fivethirtyeight, in fact, found that since 1980 Hilary has the second highest "dislike" ratings of any candidate who lead their field this late into the process, trailing only Trump himself.
Really, with revelations continuing to come out like this, I suspect Clinton will win by virtue of the unpopularity of Trump and split right-leaning voters, but the impeachment process will begin before she arrives. Republicans have never been timid about impeaching a Clinton after all, and the reasons here would be far more legitimate than what motivated them to impeach Bill.
One way or the other, though, this will be a memorable and bizarre election cycle the likes of which we haven't seen since Truman, Taft, Roosevelt and even the socialist Eugene Debs (the last time a socialist received decent support in the US, hitting 6%) all duked it out a little over a century ago.
Really, if (and I know he won't) Bernie went Independent and Gary Johnson hit 15%, the prospect of Sanders, Clinton, Johnson and Trump all on a stage debating... it's some kind of macabre theater that a part of me really wants to see. Heck, it'd be refreshing to see the dominance of the two political parties shaken up a bit.
