Hillary who? Right now Sanders IS putting some real fear into that Dem candidate. She's becoming the "clown" in 2016.

Sanders had his day. He'll be an asterisk by this time next month.

I think I'll take the bet unless it's Bush.

This thread has proven prophetic. The Republican standard bearer is about to be a) a non Republican with an unstable personality, b) a crazy Teajadist whose main claim to fame before running for president was shutting the government down or c) a "leightwieght chocker" with no achievements who can't even get through a friendly Fox news interview without sweating bullets.

Come on GOP -- seriously? This is the best you can do? You should show some real leadership and admit you're too much of a mess at the moment to even mount a presidential campaign. Sit '16 out.

Default The Democrat "stink"

The problem is that both Democrats running have the Democrat "stink" on them. That is the stink of lying, corruption, voter fraud, 'open borders' (letting anyone enter the country is viewed as 'compassion,' even if they are here to blow us up).

Both Sanders and Hillary are socialists, though by a different name; Hillary calls herself a "progressive," while Sanders is more honest and calls himself a "democratic socialist," which if I recall is what Hitler claimed to be.

At least two Republican running are Constituitionalists, which means they believe in the Constitution as written, and do not believe it to be a "living document" (thank you, Woodrow Wilson). Neither Democrat running believes in the Constitution, although they will lie and tell you they do. The Democrat Party long ago abandoned belief in the Constitution and became a Party of statists. They believe in "Social Justice," which is just another term for socialism; i.e., individual Liberty is less important than the interest of the collective whole, and the government decides where the line is drawn.

I think Donald Trump has a decent chance of winning, not sure about the other candidates though.

So will Hillary. But it took longer than one month.

Actually I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Trump would win this thing.
