Trump has a couple of big advantages. 1) Trump supporters don't fear coronavirus, Biden supporters do. With Trump trying to throw out mail in votes, that would severely hurt Biden and I don't doubt for a second that the 6-3 Supreme Court would allow it. Also 2) angry Trumpanzees, armed and more than willing to intimidate voters could scare liberals away from the polls. While we're at it, we might as well consider that possibility 3) if there is a Russian election hack, they could change the vote counts for this election, too.
I dunno. As much as I hate Trump, part of me would actually prefer if he won the presidency and the democrats took the senate. First off, he would be impeached and removed from office and he wouldn't be able to pass any bills. Not to mention, his ridiculous behavior would only hurt republicans in mid terms and in the next presidential election. Remember when Bush won a close election in 2004? The GOP lost, big time, in 2006 and 2008 because of him.
I think that any scenario under which Trump wins is a bad one - it means Americans have accepted Trumpism.

Oh, he's a shitshow, no question, but if the dems win the election, he goes on trial and impeached for his antics. If we're really lucky, assholes like Lindsey Graham and McConnell and the congressional republicans will have their dirty laundry aired in the process. If he loses, I don't think anyone will be held accountable. Just like Bush/Cheney, we'll just forget about all his impeachable, treasonist offenses while we establish the new presidency.
If Biden wins and Trump is still publicly tried, yeah, that would be the best scenario. But I don't see it happening. Unfortunately.
