They have to. Otherwise it wouldn't be just another Democrat vs Republican race. (Giants Douche vs Turd Sandwich). That could have been true with Sanders vs Trump, two average candidates with minor drama to sling back and forth but mostly just a clean difference in policy. I'm sick of people pretending this is just another run of the mill race. This is a race between a New York asshole and the devil. They don't even compare when it comes to skeletons in the closet.
At the very least it will decide if we take in refugees. We can either collapse in a sea of crime and raped women/children like every country that's taken them in or we can have fixable but serious issues in relative safety like all the countries who haven't taken them in. Worst case scenario, Trump may fuck over America and cause one hell of a mess for the next administration, but Hillary will destroy the country just like Merkel. That is going to be one hell of a fight to get their country back. If the refugees get voting power, Germans might never get their country. We can't follow their footsteps.

Hillary wants to take in 65,000 refugees whereas Germany has taken in close to a million.
