Then it would be official: Trump will be a worse candidate than Romney--in virtually every attribute category possible.
It's amazing how the GOP never learned their lesson from 2012.
Well.......................... let's see.
1. 14% of dems say that they will not vote for Hillary.
2. For dems to win, there needs to be a large turnout (see 2012 elections).
3. Young people (who turned out for Obama), don't like Hillary
4. Hillary may be indicted.
5. Sanders may run as a third party candidate.
6. Hillary HAS NOT had large turnouts.
Could Hillary win? Of course she could. However, her road to victory is far more difficult than people think, as she is facing many obstacles not presented to Obama.
I wouldn't go quite as far as 'almost certain' yet, but 'very likely'? Yes.
Trump is very likely to be the nominee. Who else?
Rubio has no path. He hasn't won a state yet. He's not expected to win a single Super Tuesday state. Remember, in the modern primary & caucus era, not Republican has ever won the nomination without winning Iowa or New Hampshire - Rubio couldn't even manage a top-two finish in either state.
Cruz? Well, he's won Iowa. And he'll probably win Texas on Tuesday. That'll leave the states won at Trump 9, Cruz 2. Not exactly a path to the nomination for Ted. And it's not clear that he'd be a much better general election candidate than Trump, given how much his own party reviles him.
Kasich? Please.
Really, the only way Trump isn't the nominee at this point is if all three of his challengers (sorry, Carson - you're just a nobody pretending to run for President in order to cash in on the spotlight) stay in the race and force a brokered convention. But if that happens, the Trumpkins stay home en masse on election day and whoever the GOP props up as their nominee (probably Rubio, who hasn't yet shown he's ready for prime-time anyway) gets clobbered.
There's always some uncertainty, but there's a reason the betting markets have the Democrats (ie, Clinton) at almost 2-1 to win the Presidency.
Oh, and in case you're wondering? Yeah, the prediction markets - where people put money on elections - favored the Democrats (ie, Obama) to hold the White House from the beginning of 2012 right through election day.

Yeah, and remember: Hillary voters WILL NEVER vote for Obama, resulting in an overwhelming McCain landslide.
And also remember: There is OVERWHELMING evidence that Obama has a fake birth certificate, and Trump will reveal this evidence in October 2012, resulting in the eventual Romney landslide.
LOL. Don't teabaggers ever get sick and tired of their laughable "predictions"?
I am a Trump supporter and will say that our next president is likely to be Hillary Clinton. I hope her email scandal will kill her among the fact that her policies as president will kill the Second Amendment among other things.

In South Carolina 386,000 Democrats voted and 737,000 Republicans voted. Yes; Hillary had more votes than Trump; but the Republican votes were split between all the other Republican candidates. It is very easy to see that, once many of the others disappear after Super Tuesday, that Trump will have more support than Hillary. The Democrats simply do not have any excitement and no promise of change with Hillary.
I truly don't believe that Clinton is electable. She has more baggage than any presidential candidate in recent history. The Democratic Party is being naive if they think Clinton is the best available candidate for the Democratic nomination. I suspect that whoever The Republicans end up nominating, would hit Clinton with a constant barrage of everything from Whitewater to Benghazi.

The only problem with "hitting Clinton with a constant barrage of everything from Whitewater to Benghazi" is that we've already heard all those things repeated over and over for the last 20+ years. They are "sigh provoking" but not a reason to not vote for her. She'll be the Dem nominee despite already knowing all of those things. Anyone who wastes money running TV commercials on those things "over and over again" is truly just throwing money away. It's like trying to make a black stain on a white blouse blacker. It's just dumb.
Wait until you see what the Republican candidate gets hit with.

What do you mean "would hit", have you been living off-grid?
