It occurs to me that there's one big factor making Trump preferable to Hillary.
Because he currently has an R after his name, the press would be obligated to report on all the dreadful stuff he tried to do.
On the other hand... having made himself the story (hello, Obama!), he surely knows how to play the access game. So maybe this is a dud after all. Irritate The Donald's thin skin, and no more insider access for you.
OK, so forget the whole thing. The press would be just adversarial enough to make him look like some sort of superhero for standing up to the bullies.
Really, given the way the forces of publicity operate, there's no stopping the Bison. We'll end up with the sort of chief exec normally seen only in third-world hellholes, and the Republicans will get the blame.
Unless maybe the Clinton investigation goes beyond the e-mails and into the whole network of corruption, and Trump gets caught in the net? (We can only dream. Seriously, that could take out a big chunk of the ruling class.)
