Hillary would be great for my disillusionment scenario. There will be so much joy among liberals when she wins, and then when she governs from the center-right (Republican at the Pentagon, maybe, like her husband did?) they'll freak out. It may take time, and there could be a lot of excuse-making, but when they turn, it could be the best thing for the radical left since, like, Seattle.
