Under ordinary circumstances, Clinton beats Trump in a landslide. But she's her own worst enemy and has an FBI investigation hanging over her head. In a way, Bernie did us no favors by taking the high road and not hammering her on this "issue". If he had, she could win the nomination and tell us all it's behind her/us, and that might have flown. However, it's hardly been an issue so far. Trump will hammer her relentlessly on the subject, and my esteem for the voting populace is such that I really don't know how that will affect the outcome.
Yes, on paper, she beats Trump easily. But elections have a way of getting messy and ugly really quickly. Trump is nothing if not a masterful salesman of everything unseemly, and there are enough independents who think so little of both of them that Trump might actually seem the lesser of two evils to many of them by the time he's finished. As far as GOP voters (dutiful drones that they are) go, they may be embarrassed by Trump, but they hate Hillary even more and should be expected to turn out, hold their noses, and vote the ticket.
