The 2016 Presidential Elections

Hillary will win by a landslide in November.

It's just a matter of getting through the tedious process for the next few months to get there, but she's got this. #historymade

No matter who wins, we lose.

I'm not really sure about that. It's my personal opinion that Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton is a better pair of candidates than Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama or John McCain vs. Barack Obama. During both of the previous races, a very inexperienced Senator (Obama) was matched up against a political hack (McCain) or a political hack with some business experience (Romney). This election is more of the same in that term, I guess. However, Hillary is a significantly more experienced political than either Romney or McCain, and Trump pounds Romney's business record into the ground, and he's been around the political scene long enough not to be considered a complete "outsider".

This election is a non-political hack with a lot of business experience against the most qualified presidential candidate in recent history, who just also happens to be a woman.

I fully expect Donald to win among white men and that's okay. Hillary will win with every minority - black, latino, lgbt, and every other - plus women. Minorities, as we've seen in recent past elections, decide the winner. Hello, Madam President.

I'm not sold on Hillary winning, at all. She's not doing a very good job getting the support of the tried and true Democrats. Look at the most recent Democratic stronghold state, California - Hillary lost 1.5 million votes from 2008; when she lost the state to Obama. If you look around the country, Republican turnout is very high, and Trump has by-far the most Republican votes in history. See this for a slightly outdated, but very good article about the decline of Democrat votes state by state. Then, see this article about the rise of Republican votes.

Don't get me wrong -- Hillary Clinton can win; however, it's not as cut and dry as you seem to put it.

If nothing else, this will probably be the most entertaining election we have ever had.

New polls on real clear politics show Trump beating Hillary overall.

That is factually incorrect.

At the time of him posting it, Trump was beating Hillary in some of the Real Clear Politics polls. See: http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-conten ... nTrump.pdf http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05 ... rumps.html

The only poll that was taken in 2016 where Trump is beating Clinton outside the MoE is this one.

I hope trump can somehow pull a win, but Hillary probably has it in the bag now....

this was around the time of my posting i think, it was a screenshot I took. It has dates and names of the poll so u could look into it.

I think Bernie will end up being Hillary's running mate, that might actually help her beat Trump.

While I agree with the latter part of your statement, I highly doubt he will be her running mate.

I no longer think Bernie will be her VP. She will pick someone else.

I'm now voting Trump. Bernie disappoints me so much.

 

[HeyItsHudson]

Bernie or Bust.

Election season is ramping up as we speak for the 2016 elections. Debates are happening, and candidates are dropping in and out of the race like crazy. With that being said; who is your 2016 election pick currently? Mine (as you could probably tell by my old avatar) is Ben Carson. I like what he stands for on most major issues surrounding America at the moment, and he isn't afraid to tell the truth when it's needed. However, I don't think he's got nearly the shot of someone like Trump or Rubio (both of whom I'd support). What about you? Who's your 2016 presidential pick? Why do you think they could help improve America?

We're now down to the final two nominees(at least for the major parties). Hilary vs Trump. This decision could not be easier for me. I will vote Hilary in a heartbeat. Trump is a lot of things, most of them bad. But it's his recklessness that has me truly worried. Vladimir Putin pisses him off? Just sink one of their navy vessels. China does't agree to a trade agreement? Take over some of their islands in the south and east china seas. Idk, this guy worries me on a level I am not comfortable with.
