Who will win the 2016 presidential election?
most likely a democrat, the republicans have not brought forth a decent candidate, a hispanic like Rubio could stand a good chance, but I doubt if he will get the support he needs. I think Americans would vote for a strong independent because they do not trust democrats or republicans at this point in time. 4 years is a long time off anything could happen, chances are Obama will leave a sour taste in voters for democrats, tax payers will probably have had enough.
What are the chances that Donald trump will become president?
It's a huge worry of mine that our country will be ran by a reality TV star. He's not even a real politician. If Donald Trump actually becomes our president, I will want to move countries.
What would happen if Donald Trump becomes president . How would America look like if Donald Trump won the election.?
I think the first thing that would happen would be Mexico cutting off diplomatic relations with the US. And as Trump insulted our other allies, they would do the same. This would cause them to impose all sorts of problems on us, like trade barriers and duties. Since we only export a small amount related to other countries, the economy would take a hit, but it would be smaller than for other countries. According to what he has said, Trump would then impose duties and tariffs on their goods coming into the country. This would badly depress the economy, as no one could afford to buy things anymore. He would ban abortion, which would mean about half a million women would now die in back alley abortions. As the first of the 50,000 flights necessary to deport all the illegals began to take off, the price of most of our foodstuffs would rise markedly, once again putting a damper on demand, not only for food but for other things as well. The economic troubles will make it easy for him to "make America's military the strongest in the world"(even though we already are), as people who are starving will enlist just to survive. He will begin like Kim Jong Un to execute people who insult him. (No, not really, but it's a cute parallel.) Of course, since he would need the cooperation of Congress to do most of those things, we would have to pray that the parties switched domination to save the country.
Can Hillary Clinton still become President of the United States?
Not really, no.She has lost twice, failing to get her party’s nomination in 2008 and losing the general election in 2016. She will be 73 in 2020, and in polls nearly 70% of Democrats do not want her to run again. It is highly unlikely that she would receive the backing of major Democratic donors or party leaders again. She has also expressed no desire to run again, and there are no examples of presidential candidates losing twice and then successfully being elected on a third try. The last candidate who lost a general election and managed to be nominated by their party a second time was Richard Nixon in 1968, which was before the modern primary system was put in place (which started in 1972).She remains deeply unpopular with significant numbers of Americans, and was one of the most unpopular major party nominees in history — while she did win the popular vote by a wide margin in 2016, she still lost a winnable race to an unfit candidate, and many of those who voted for her were mainly voting against her opponent rather than out of strong support for her personally.It is therefore exceedingly difficult to even imagine a possible chain of events in which Clinton would be the Democratic nominee in 2020, let alone win the general election. And it seems highly unlikely that she would even run.Hillary Clinton is now a part of the past. As a public figure she will not completely disappear; she will speak out on issues that matter to her and will continue to give talks and probably write another book or two.But her political career is over. The Clintons are the past. Move on.
Will Hillary Clinton become President of the United States in 2016?
An opinion: At this point, it seems unlikely that she will be.Reasons:She remains polarizing figure in American politics - There are few people who have no opinion of the former Secretary of State. She is either intensely liked or disliked by most voters. This may prove to be a burden in a close race.Her health - The blood clot on her brain will be an issue in the race. Unless she could demonstrate that her health would be sound enough to perform the job of President, then it is unlikely that she'll be elected.Her husband/ The ex-President - Not only is it clear that the Clinton's marriage is primarily a partnership and not a bond of love, the former President brings a great deal of baggage with him. From the unfortunate events at the end of his own presidency, to the current imbroglios about his growing exceptionally wealthy by selling access" to his wife and to the halls of power in Washington DC it seems that the Secretary will have to carry him as a burden during any election in which she's involved.Her husband/ The ex-President #2 - Bill Clinton's personal health seems to be fragile. It is doubtful that Americans would elect a single woman (widowed or not) to become President of the United States.The 2008 election - Frankly, Sec. Clinton lost the race within her own party before she ever got to face a GOP candidate. Since the GOP is desperate to return to the White House, the battle in 2016 will almost certain to be exceptionally bloody. Whether or not Secretary Clinton will be able to handle that remains to be seen.Her relationship with Barack Obama - To be charitable, it is clear that President Obama and Secretary enjoy, at best, a pragmatic relationship. The end of her race in 2008 was exceptionally bitter and there seems to have little effort on either side to repair the damage which was done. While the President is a loyal Democrat, he may not be an enthusiastic enough supporter of Secretary Clinton when the times comes to be one.Frankly, since Hillary Clinton missed her chance in 2008 and seems to be doing little to repair her image with many Americans, it may be that she lacks interest in the office. Or that she senses that many Americans lack interest in her.Whatever it is, unless Hillary Clinton gets out and begins the difficult task of making the case why she should be President, it is likely that she'll again miss the brass ring in 2016.
Will Bernie Sanders win the presidency?
Of course he can. Easily. The math is compelling.To beat Trump, you want the candidate who will earn the most number of votes on election day.x = all registered Democrats who will vote blue no matter who, even if it’s Berniey = independent progressives on the far leftz = millennialsk = moderate conservatives who will not vote for TrumpKamala Harris will get x votes.Cory Booker will get x votes.Elizabeth Warren will get x + y (but only some of y).Joe Biden (if he runs) will get x + k (but only some of k).Bernie Sanders will get x + y + z.Tulsi Gabbard will get x + y + z + some of k.The math is pretty clear that either Bernie or Tulsi would be the best choice to beat Trump.
Who will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016?
There's simply no way of telling. There are too many variables that make predicting the Democratic nominee four years from too speculative to even hazard a guess. Some potential Democratic candidates, however, might be:Hilary Clinton - However her age in four years (she'll be 69), the worsening health of former President Clinton (Have you seen him on TV lately? He's obviously very sick), her general unpopularity with many people across the US and the fact that many people in this country may not be ready for the Presidency to again become a "family business" might make any run , even four years hence, sketchy, at best.Martin O'Malley (Current Governor of Maryland) - Seems to be a strong candidate , although he's not well-known and he's Roman Catholic (America's religious intolerance is legendary)Deval Patrick (Current Governorof Massachusetts) - He's well-known, but he's also Black. Two Black Presidents in a row is beyond the capabilities and the "tolerance level" of many Americans.Andrew Cuomo - Italian, Catholic and from New York.That's three strikes going out of the gate.Mark Pryor (Senator from Arkansas) - We have already had a sitting President from Arkansas within the past 20 years. Things didn't go so well towards the end of that.Mary Landrieu (Senator from Louisiana) - Too conservative a Democrat; may have to "moderate" her positions.Kirsten Gillibrand (Senator from New York) May be tarred by the brouhaha of her appointment to office.Maria Cantwell (Senator from Washington) - Possibly too outspoken
