Hillary is more of the same, and the same ain't that great either.
Actually 'more of the same' is mostly being hamstrung by an obstructionist opposition Party.
Your 'popcorn poppin' entertainment' scenario almost certainly will be provided by a 'down-ticket' massacre of GOP Senate candidates.

Democrats up and down the ballot plan to savage their Republican opponents if Trump is the GOP standard-bearer, with constant reminders of the things he's said.
After a 2014 drubbing that saw them lose control of the Senate, Democrats are playing offense in 2016, aiming to take back five seats against a Republican Party that must protect senators who came to power in the Republican wave of 2010.With Trump at the top of the ticket, there's an argument to be made that their job might be easier -- especially in Senate battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Nevada, places with significant populations of suburbanites, young people and minority voters.
"I have no doubt that there are some Republicans who will make a calculation that supporting a xenophobic demagogue is the best way to win their district," said Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for President Obama.
"But I don't think it helps statewide unless you're running in a Romney state," he said. "My suspicion is that as the race goes on, the places where Marco Rubio and John Kasich do well are the places where Republicans will abandon Trump and Democrats will run up the margins. I think anyone running in an urban or suburban area who doesn't repudiate Trump will have some trouble."
