I love how the OP assumes Hillary is even elected to a 1st term.  That's so cute.

OddShark Presidential Betting: Clinton Well Ahead


OddShark provides “stats and odds from multiple sources” so users have “the information they need to make the most of their sports bets and fan predictions.” As of April 28, the odds greatly favored Hillary Clinton:


OddShark Presidential Odds


As of April 28


Hillary Clinton


-340


Donald Trump


+280

Clinton’s large lead is likely due to Clinton’s large lead in matchup polling and favorability. So far, Clinton has established double-digit polling lead son Trump and, while viewed unfavorably overall, is doing more than 20 points better than Trump on average.

Dont know why Walker pulled out so early but, if the GOP was smart, they'll be loading up behind him (or a square-jaw type) NOW. Have him comment on the debates as if neither candidate was in his party and try to remind America that the Republican Party is the one that used to try to be sensible.

Ryan is the answer, though. Before the ascendancy of the fanaticals, GOP always rewarded those who served the party well, which he's done twice now - veepin Romney and taking Speaker. Unless he can work himself into a real loyal-opposition answer to Clinton, though - his '12 campaign baggage will likely drown him.

Do you really think she is going to make it to 2020?

No.  She is healthy enough to win in November but the stress of being POTUS and her back room dealings over the last few decades is going to take an incredible toll on her health.  I believe that she will not even run in 2020. 

 
The stress won't kill her because she's so drunk on power she feels nothing. However we are fortunate that her body won't hold up and she most likely will spaz out sometime in the next 4 years and drop like the sack of #### that she is.

Trump will come back for round 2 as an independent and totally screw over the R's.

Curious how Republicans think they will be able to stop Hillary from being re-elected.

On November 9 they will hem and haw about how they need to shift moderate. 

In 4 years their candidate will be David Duke of trends continue.

 
Assuming she somehow wins this election mine as well just say screw it and through out George W Bush's wife and let them 2 duke it out

 
I would think that Pence is next in line

he has a shot to unite the party, and everybody liked his debate performance

 
This assumes there is still a national party called Republican. After this election we may get our third party. But it will be trump supporters breaking off from mainstream Republicans. Making both regional parties with neither big enough to challenge the Democrats certainly at the national level and probably statewide races. God help us all.

Where will republican primary voters go after the Trump loss?  It might be reasonable to assume most of them will think the system was rigged against Trump, and these voters will swing further to the right.  That might lead to a truly radical candidate in 2020.  But there are ways to head that off.  One way is to field a very charismatic centrist candidate from somewhere to pull voters back to the middle.  Dwayne Johnson is a republican that has toyed with the idea of running for president.  I mean, that might sound utterly nuts, but Trump is the nominee today, so nothing should be off the table.

So a repeat performance then.

 
Donald Trump Jr?

In all seriousness, I think it's very realistic to wonder whether the Republican Party will fully recover in time for 2020. I don't think we yet know the full damage and effects that this election cycle has had on the GOP. 

In other words, tho GOP has a huge repair job they need to address following this election. I don't think the damage is finished just yet either. There's more to come. And four years may not be enough to fully recover. Whether people view this as a good thing or a negative thing, that's not my call to make, but at this point, only time will tell whether the GOP recovers from this.

A majority of Americans do not trust the Republican Party to run the country anymore.  I can't see that changing in four years.

 
I know this is probably a pipe dream, but I dream of a day that we see a Republican candidate stand up and say something along the lines of "I want to help lower taxes for the middle class and small business owners to help spur the economy. I'm also not a xenophobe. I don't care who you marry. I don't care what bathroom you use. I don't care what women choose to do with their bodies. I'm not interested in locking up an entire generation of young men. I'm interested in revisiting our drug laws"

My hope in this debacle is that maybe, just maybe, it puts us a little closer to the day that the Republican Party can finally kick social conservatives to the curb. Smaller gubment and lower taxes should not continue to be wrapped up in a platform along with social conservatism. It just never made sense. In fact, it's contradictory as social conservatism is just bad economic policy.

The weird part is that Trump could've been such a candidate. Outside of his hatefulness and underlying racism and sexism in everything he says (which might be an act playing to the base), I really don't think he's a social conservative at heart. I highly doubt he's really a Christian, and certainly don't think he'd have any interest in using the government to promote Christian values.

That's, of course, the discouraging part. Even though might not be a true social conservative, he played heavily on some tenets of social conservatism with great success.

That first paragraph, explain how those policy points differ significantly from the democratic platform?  They are certainly closer to the existing democratic platform than the republican platform,

Michael Bloomberg fits the bill here.

The Republican platform is a disaster, that's the point.
