"The fact that world H and world D are such closely adjacent possibles is what I am savoring (in the sense of morbid fascination) for roughly the next 24-36 hours. "
To first order, this isn't about the ideological aspirations of one candidate vs. the other (or the completely irrelevant others). It's about choosing between a person who can and has managed in relevant circumstances, and a man-child that obviously needs to be managed and who obviously draws-from and amplifies the worst in people, has many indicators of an authoritarian personality, and is a likely target for blackmail and manipulation by foreign powers. The potential upside of this non-contest is that a thinker and policy wonk may sneak through as the winner by default. Even stranger is that it would be historic -- and somehow that is almost a footnote. The whole thing is surreal and even scarier than Brexit.
