No, democracy will.
There are 18 states that Democrats have won in every single election for the last 6 elections that add up to 242 electoral votes. There are only 13 that have always gone republican in that time and they only add up to 103 electoral votes. So it will be much easier for a Democrat to find 28 more electoral votes in the remaining 19 states than it will be for a republican to find 167 electoral votes in 19 states. And with trump being more despised among minorities than any president in recent history, he will lose fairly easily.
Trump being the frontrunner virtually guarantees a Democratic victory, regardless of candidate. So would your rather have Shillary or Sanders?

If your Mathematical Logic is to prevail, does it not denote then that any Republican Nominee" would lose the Election???
If you're Mathematics are correct the United States of America should have long been a one(1) Party State....

Not necessarily any, but Trump might appeal to some of the GOP, but not the nation. Every poll I've seen about the general is talking about whether or not Sanders or Shillary would beat him harder. Short of election fraud it's a foregone conclusion that he won't win.

It has been for decades: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/interview-with-noam-chomsky-the-united-states-has-essentially-a-one-party-system-a-583454.html
And it's not Democratic, it's pro-business/plutocrat party. D vs. R is a distraction to keep the masses thinking there's democracy at work.

Caution possible opposing viewpoint, proceed with caution if you choose to read on:
I like Trump as a meme, so if he gets elected I'll survive. I also fully support the democratic process. We see rigging and dirty tricks used to buff up a nominee and it's disgusting.
A big part of me is curious to see what the U.S. establishment government is hiding or afraid of losing if Trump is elected.
That said, maybe the opposition is like me a bit too and looks at stuff like how he denies global warming and has never been elected to any public office. I'm concerned that he doesn't fully understand the job and thinks being president is basically bein a CEO/dictator. Feel free to educate me if I'm way off here...

It's a shame, I have to quantify my statements like that. This is becoming a safe space for trump supporters and anyone with an opposing view is getting btfo

The question I'd like to table is, to whom and what does he pose such a great threat?
/pol/ had a tread on this, and another thread here on voat copied it. I'm not one for conspiracy theories big ideas that make sense of everything but you may enjoy reading it.

The establishment (and other countries) don't like him because a lot of people will lose cushy jobs and money. These 'protesters' are paid to be upset and lie in order to make trump look bad. The media, of course, owned by these people play it up as if the whole country does not want Trump (I think they said that 2/3 of Americans support Obama, untrue), but the majority have already spoken. If Trump is elected, look for black riots, they've already stated they'll use it as an excuse to cause chaos and destruction.

These shrieking numbskulls don't even know what they're protesting. They don't have a list of demands or any of that. The left has an established pattern of violence and attention-seeking.
Their antics amount to a protest against whiteness. That's literally it. We just had 8 years of a black president and even though he was terrible, white people can't have a white President anymore. It's not even an option because they aren't allowed to show any ingroup mentality.
No more white guys. You can choose between the woman, the Jew, or the Cuban Canadian wacko.

Theory: This whole Trump thing is being orchestrated to, in fact, incite rioting. Think about it... In 2012 Obama signed the NDRP Executive Order which some believe is another step towards martial law.
When the RNC convenes in July, and they push Trump out, which they say they can do you will have a huge uprising of Trump supporters, many of which are CCW gun owners, which will be pitted against the Black Lives Matter and MoveOn.Org protesters, and there will be shooting in the streets.
Obama will invoke the NDRP Executive Order, and immediately sign a gun ban order and start confiscating guns. And Abracadabra, gun control is completed, and Hilary wins by default.

Protest from who, BLM? I wrote them off as either simply ignorant, or as an organized political attack group. (and while the former is still likely, the latter certainty does not preclude it) Now that they've moved into domestic terrorism, they probably will have issues continuing to exist.
From who, the political power structure? This is our protest against them, so of course they're going to do everything they can to stop it. Lie, cheat, murder - there's a reason that Big Donald wears a vest. Result so far is what, 13 people dropping out because he's been in the lead the entire time?
From the media? They've tried everything - even using Hitler comparisons on multiple occasions, but the media hasn't been able to use its tactics to bring him down. Even after SJW take-over of popular websites like reddit, and having Twitter censor his supporters, they haven't been able to stop him online either. Their attacks seem to use the logic of petulant children, or bad comedians.
What we're seeing is people who were sick of the system, people who never even wanted to vote before, who never believed the crap they spew every election cycle. These people against Trump have no credibility with his voters. Instead, since there's so much mistrust, they have the opposite effect and increase his support. We don't like you, we don't trust you, and you know what? We'll go out and vote driven by the desire to spite you.

Because Clinton, the establishment, and Soros.
