I have to disagree. America doesn't really care for either candidate. So just about anyone who isn't a bumbling idiot would have a better chance if thrown in late. The GOP could do the same thing and win in a landslide if it was anyone but Trump. Deep down, I'm sure both parties know this. I could almost guarantee you that both have a backup plan in place if needed.
