Why You Should Feel Free To Ignore the Polls for a Few Weeks
#2
But, no pun intended (!), what difference does it make?

If Hillary wins, the Republicans, with their majority in the House, will be able to block anything and everything she wants, indeed, in many cases, even preventing bills from reaching the Senate on matters such as the budget, which the Constitution mandates must be voted on by the House first; and if Trump wins, the Democrats, with the filibuster, which is more-or-less mathematically impossible for them to lose, will be able to block most things that Donald Trump wants to do - especially if Trump pulls a William Howard Taft and sells out to the billionaires on economic matters.

So, the gridlock will be broken in the 2018 election - which, like all midterm elections, will be dominated by the oldest, richest, and whitest among us.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
