The Problems don't end with the elections

Why?

Because even if there is no violence from the Trump Camp or by Hillary's camp from obvious interference in the U.S. elections by Russia, confidence in our system of government likely is going to be at an all time low just because only 26% of Americans actually approve of Trump and only 38% actually approve of Hillary as presidential Candidates. So, unless Hillary's election in as president is a landslide she won't have enough gravitas to have much chance as a leader accomplishing literally anything while she is president other than being the first woman president of the United States.

But, maybe that's enough in some ways even though the end result likely won't be good for the nation as far as getting anything at all done. (Unless both the Senate and the House go democrat majority). But, even if that happens likely it would do something else within 2 to 4 years also given the way newer elections might go.

So, even if there is no violence because of the elections or during the elections that doesn't mean all the problems this country is facing will suddenly just go away in one fell swoop. In fact, all this mess could just get worse not better as a result of the rhetoric of Trump being such a demagogue. And just because he loses the election doesn't mean he would stop being a demagogue either. If you want to see how Demagogues function just study how Hitler came to power in the history books. The latest thing he has threatened to do is to start another TV network competing with Fox News likely with Breitbart News Director Steve Bannon who is helping run his campaign of the ALT Right. So, this news would be several times more extreme than what you presently see on Fox News.

Also, unless we are in the middle of a major war I don't think Hillary could get re-elected 4 years from now either for a variety of reasons. So, she might be a one term president like Carter and Bush I.
