It feels good, doesn’t it, Democrats? Donald Trump is imploding. Republicans are in an open, bloody revolt. And the polls look so good for Hillary Clinton, you’re starting to believe that this might really happen.

It’s probably tempting right now to start to wonder what you’ll push through first when you’re in charge — climate change or immigration reform? Card check or the public option? With the White House and maybe even the House and Senate in Democratic control, you just might have the numbers to do it all.

But before you make plans for a progressive Utopia, take a minute to think about why Clinton is leading right now and why it matters. It’s clear that she isn’t winning because a majority of voters love her, trust her and are embracing her ideas. Most Americans still say they don’t find Clinton to be honest or trustworthy. Against any other Republican, she’d likely be losing. But because she has the luck of running against a disaster like Trump, she’s poised to win it all.

But a victory for Clinton, even a landslide, won’t be a mandate for her vision or for a progressive agenda. It will be because a majority of independents and some number of Republicans had nowhere else to go. They’re like flood victims who move in with the neighbors they don’t like very much, but who at least offered them a place to stay while they rebuild their own house.
