I strongly wonder about this. Trump is known to have connections to the Clintons. It's known that he was a democrat until relatively recently. Without Trump in the race, Republicans might be running someone who could pose a legitimate threat to Hillary like Jeb or Kasich. Trump's carefully ensured no moderate has a chance to win on the Republican side, and if he or Cruz wins then on paper... assuming democrats are scared enough to overlook their disdain for hillary... then her mathematical advantage against either candidate in the electoral college should be crushing. I strongly wonder of Trump's antics in 2012 helped Obama win reelection. It's like he doesn't understand the effect he has... or he knows EXACTLY what he's doing and it's one of the few brilliant underhanded strategies to come from the dems.

Hillary can expect the largest advantage in the minority vote any democrat has ever carried if Trump's the nominee, and a significant edge with the female vote. Young progressives might not show up but it looks like Republicans hate Trump even more than Democrats hate Hillary. 1 in 5 reps won't vote for him as opposed to 1 in 10 dems. That would suggest this may be the first landslide a Democrat has won since the 1960s, even if independents rally behind a 3rd party candidate.

That may not be the case though. This is all very speculative.

I am increasingly skeptical Trump is in cahoots with democrats in any way shape or form.

It would require democrats to be strategic and intelligent about elections and that's something they've never ever been.
