Go for the landslide.
We need to send the rest of the world a message that the American people repudiate the horrific and disgusting views espoused by the right-wing candidate as well as his calls for unconscionable violence.
Onamuji made the first and best comment in my book.
For what it's worth, I think this would be best for the Republicans too, so they can begin to divest themselves of the cruft of 35 years of dog-whistle racism, anti-intellectual posing and conspiracy-theory nuts. That base is poison and the only way they're going to get rid of it is the clean bone-jarring break of an election catastrophe. Let those folks form their own nutjob rump party and the rest can go back to old-style Eisenhower Republicanism (not that that was perfect...) and begin to attract the center again.
Anything less will almost insure we'll have Trump and his ilk to kick around for a looong time.
