Like say, if Kasich or Cruz were the Republican nominees this election instead.

No. I think she would have lost by much greater margins particularly if Kasich had been the republican nominee.

I don't think she would have either.

This was the election against anti establishment candidates. Other GOP candidates had actual histories that could have been attacked, and painted as the status quo.. many of them were pro illegals for example..

I think she would have beaten out Rubio, Cruz, Kasich and certainly JEB! They were establishment politicians who would have brought the same old ideas to the table and Hillary would have attacked them to no end like she did with Trump.
She would have dug up the skeletons of each candidate and exposed them no matter how big or small they were. If all that failed she would have pulled the sexist card "are you afraid of a woman president? Don't you think a woman could do the job?"
It would not have been pretty. She is ruthless.


Trump won because he connected with the forgotten folks who saw their country slipping away under Obama and they knew with Hillary she was going to continue that slide off the cliff.

Trump won because he is an outsider and speaks his mind.
He walks soflty, talks loudly and time will tell how big his stick is.

They were by far the worst candidates in my time. Trump would not have defeated anyone else and the same for Hillary.

I think Hillary would have beat Cruz. Not sure about kasich, don't know enough about him. I said it before the election, I think Trump was the only republican that could beat Hillary. I'm still shocked she lost though. Very pleasantly surprised!

It depends on what they ran on, but yes Hillary was going to lose regardless of who she faced. think about this, with the media on her side including much of Fox news, many Republican leaders on her side, and Democrats doing everything they could to rig the election, she still lost. She never had a chance, and with someone like Rubio she would have been forced to run on an actual platform, and the reason she lost was even some Democrats rejected her platform.
