She's going to mop the floor with him.
The really exhausting thing is explaining to newbies every four years that national political opinion polls don't matter because the presidency isn't awarded by a national popular vote. My dad taught High School social studies for 26 years. I wish he were still alive so that I could express to him my admiration for his perseverance in explaining the electoral college over and over and over again year after year. I get annoyed having to do it on the internet, but he had to do it live and in person.
And I can only hope all of the Republicans (and there's a lot of them) that (rightly) can't stand Donald Trump and all of the disaffected Democrats (that love Sanders but can't stand Clinton- and there will be a lot of them too) will use their vote and vote third party.The only poll that matters is the one that will take place on Election Day in November.

It would be historically significant if we could manage to get a third party candidate in the white house. I think that would be good in and of itself, if we could demonstrate that we don't have to be chained to our current two party system. It's happened before, but it's been like 150 years since the last time it happened.
Though it really does boil down to the state electors, and I very much doubt most of them have much interest in departing from the status quo.

It is basically impossible for a third party candidate to get elected. Gotta get rid of the electoral college. It really is time for a constitutional convention.It would be historically significant if we could manage to get a third party candidate in the white house.
