What happens if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination?

Victor Williams (CUA): Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and a Disrupted Electoral College: High Unfavorable Ratings, Multi-Candidate General Election Ballots, and Pursuing the “Art of the Deal” with Free-Agent Electors in December 2016 (“The 2016 election year may be the beginning of the end for the antiquated, malapportioned Electoral College - described by Donald Trump November 2012 tweet as ‘a disaster for a democracy, a total sham and a travesty.’) What happens if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination? Annie Lowrey on why President Trump would destroy the economy. Jeffrey Kluger on Donald Trump’s very strange brand of narcissism. 95,000 words, many of them ominous, from Donald Trump’s tongue. Ed Kilgore on what Trump has in common with Stalin and Kim Jong-il. David Atkins on why the Left must defend secular liberalism from fascism of all stripes. Donald Trump may not be a fascist, but he is leading us merrily down that path (and more). Donald Trump’s destruction test of the Republican Party continues apace: Trump is probably frustrated — he’s basically dialed it up to 11 already, and the crowds are still swooning.
