And The Winner Is? Who do you think wil become the next President of the United States of America?

Trump's un-favorability rating is at 65%, while Hillary's is at 55%, but she also has a possible indictment hanging over her head, which could have an effect on voter turn-out---if she is indicted. And then there is Sanders, whose favorability ratings are high, but who is fighting an uphill battle given that the Democratic establishment has already chosen Hillary over him. And despite Trump's un-favorability ratings, people are turning out in droves to vote for him in the primaries. So what do you think? Who will win when all is said and done?

I believe it is way to soon to guess a winner this soon in the game. The candidates haven't even begun to sling all the mud they have gathered on each other, and won't until the time is right. Still too much ground to cover before the finish line to pick a winner now.

  Someone I spoke with recently stated that he believes Hillary will not be able to handle Trump in debates because he is unpredictable. He has decided that Trump has the win, also, due to the impending indictment. So I wondered if others felt that way

This is an easy answer: Hillary. It pains me to even think it. But I don't see how Trump can overcome the electoral votes that the Dems already have (they'll start w/250 on election day because of the big blue states). On top of that, the old confederacy is no sure thing for the GOP anymore. We're gonna lose Fla, and Virginia. Now I see polls that have us losing North Carolina.
And the coup de grace - according to recent polls, Arizona is beginning to trend towards HRC. Roughly 53% of high school seniors (not sure of the exact figure) are of Latino heritage in Arizona. If they all register to vote before the deadline, it could make a big difference.

It will take a miracle for Trump to win.

I personally have no preference for any of the presidential candidates myself. All of the candidates harbor scandals, many marriage issues, and values that favor the wealthiest of Americans. Often times the average American feels left out or have no voice at all. Many have simply turned off the television. Every time one turns on the television there seems to be a never ending circus of foolish and silly words exchanged between the cannidates. Many Americans today view the presidential elections as nothing more than a big dog and pony show. Many feel the presidental election system is totally rigged up. There is a trend in American politics that clearly points to Hillary Clinton. First it was George Bush Sr. and then George Bush Jr. came along. The same circle cycle can be applied with first is was Bill Clinton and then Hillary Clinton came along. Hillary Clinton has the most knowledge of top secret and inside information. Unlike any of the other current presidental cannidates.

My best guess is that Trump will win. Why? Well, he can't seem to say anything to dissuade his supporters from voting for him - his supporters believe Trump will make America great again, and that's all they need to hear; they don't give a rip about Trump's vulgar, disrespectful nature or about his seedy business dealings. You'd think that his trying to push an elderly woman out her home through eminent domain would have given more people pause....alas. Also, during open primaries, Trump has frequently pulled votes from blue collar voters that typically would vote in the Democratic, rather than Republican, primary. Hillary has an incredibly uphill battle in at least a couple of ways: 1) The ongoing email investigation. 2) Benghazi. Trump will lay into Clinton on both these scandals - political destruction is something Trump does very well, just look at the damage he did during the Republican primaries. When Trump lays into her, Clinton won't be able to slide out from under his attacks, and they'll create enough doubt in the minds of soft supporters or undecideds that Trump will win.

Nobody took Trump serious. Nobody believed he could do well at a run for president. Now he's going to be the Republican nominee. Trump has defied all common political logic. People laughed at him. Nobody is laughing now. He debates Hillary it will get interesting. I think he will be the next president. The passion of his followers is incredible. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I'll vote for him. After she protected her husband's affairs, lies about Emails, lies about Benghazi, as well as all the other things she's done. I don't know how anyone, who knows, understands or comprehends her history could even consider Hillary. When I talk to a Hillary supporter I'm always stunned and all I can say to their logic is "Wow...this is crazy."

Say what you will Trump Supporters are loyal and they Vote (how many of that 65% of people hate him actually vote). Senator Sanders also has a loyal following but not on a national scale so he lacks the notoriety of a Trump or Clinton making it easier to discredit him in the press (Sanders is a socialist and other such). Clinton has the name, the experience and the followers to go all the way. Many people are turned off by her name, experience, and followers.

If Trump can’t get women, African Americans, Hispanics, or other minorities to vote for him then the only chance he will have is if these groups stay home. It’s the 47% thing all over again except women make up over 50%.
I can’t say who will win just who will lose.

If trump wins he will have no friends in the republican controlled congress and senate making any polices he wants to push an uphill battle. He can’t fire congress.

Clinton will make the Obama Presidency look moderate. She will also have trouble with a republican controlled congress and senate.

Senator Sanders no. just no.

No matter who wins we lose.

I honestly don't know.

I was fully expecting to vote for a Republican President this year (I'm an independent who likes to see the Presidency change party every 4 or 8 years). But I even as I love many of the TACTICS that got Trump into his position (spending little by using the media to get his message out, refusing to comply with party leaders, being his own candidate rather than a party mouthpiece, actually teaching the electorate that the Parties have been stifling independent ideas for decades if not longer), I DESPISE THE MAN!. He's a megalomaniac, a bigot, a power-monger, conceited, etc, etc, etc.

I question the amount of people who are actually voting for him. My dad told me that while he was in line to vote in the Virginia primary (in a majority black, heavily Democratic neighborhood and district), he heard the people around him planning out their votes: one would vote for Hillary, the other for Trump, and in November, they'd both vote for Hillary. I'm hoping that this is the strategy that has played out in all the open primaries, but the Pundits have repeatedly said that there's no evidence that this has been the case. Still, I wonder because what figures I have seen have shown a record high number of "Republican" turnout while "Democratic" turnout has been unusually low and there has been serious discussion about how exit polls have been asking the wrong questions to really understand the electorate this season.

I really would rather not vote for Hillary for the simple fact that we've already had a Clinton in the White House and we've already had enough dynasties. I really liked Jeb Bush except for the same problem! But, Bernie Sanders is simply too left wing for me and as a candidate, without her name behind her, Hillary is the best choice.

Tough choice when it is between a giant deuche and a turd sandwich. No one has take Trump seriously so far. The mainstream media continues to discount him despite the fact that he is the presumptive GOP nominee. Sure, his unfavorable numbers are high now, but Hillary’s are almost as high. Furthermore, with the momentum and enthusiasm clearly on Trump’s side, he will likely get more people out to vote than Hillary. The big question will be answered by three states: Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. To see which way the winds are blowing, the polls are now in a dead heat there between HRC and the Donald. These recent polls prove that if Donald doesn’t screw this up and can unite the discordant Republican party, he could very well become the next President of the United States.

I'm a conservative who voted for Cruz even though I wanted to vote for Rubio. I was hoping Cruz could somehow overcome Trump and get the nomination. I am shocked about how many people are coming out to vote for him when his favorability seems so low. Clearly, it must be higher than it seems. I get why people want an anti-establishment candidate; politics in this country is so full of corruption. However, the way he speaks is so harsh and at times even sexist and racist. He is a terrible representative for not only Republicans, but also Americans.

That being said, he is still definitely a better choice than Clinton. I don't agree with any of her politics, but even if I did, she is way too corrupt, way too dishonest to be President.

It's hard to say who will win. It seems that Clinton has the female vote and of course the strongly democrat vote. She even has a whole lot of votes from people who would normally vote Republican, but refuse because they hate Trump so much. However, like you said, Trump has somehow been able to get people out to vote just for him who would never normally vote at all. If he can get all of those normally non-voters out again in the general election, there's a chance he could defeat the democratic machine that's behind Hillary.

Either way, I'm sad that I can't really get behind either candidate this election season.

Hilary Clinton. It is simply time for the United States of America to check off that box [woman head of state of a major western, industrialized nation] and join the rest of the world. The symbolism is terribly important.

The fact is that the Republican Party allowed Donald Trump to happen; and this speaks to an increasing lack of seriousness on the part of the GOP. The party has to do some serious soul-searching and decide if they even want to run serious political campaigns and actually govern, if and when they win, anymore.

Trump is a statement the Republican Party did not want to make... at least not so blatantly: Real Estate Tycoon/businessman + no political office-seeking and governing experience (not even in appointed positions) = Yeah, I can President of the United States of America!

And acting the way he has acted during the primaries, he seems to be saying: Yeah, any clown can be the Prez. It ain't hard.

  I don't believe Hillary would be the right "female representative." She is just too calloused and corrupt. That is not to say that Trump isn't calloused and corrupt. So here we are----between a rock and a hard place. (sigh) Not fun---clowns aside.

  There is one major difference between Trump and Hillary's negatives. The negatives on Trump are that "he will do" something. The negatives on Hillary are the things she "HAS Done"

Too early to tell at this point. Too many variables this far out. What will the economy be like in November? Will Hillary make it until November without a legal problem? I think that Trump will surge, especially around the Republican convention, but in the end Hillary will likely win, if she gets her campaign together. Trump is a better campaigner, but that may not be enough to convince people to vote for his policies, which in many ways are a big departure from mainstream American politics over the past 50 years.

  All true statements, Rock-nj, except that Trump has been getting people to vote in the primaries----in record numbers. It appears that voters are seeking a "big departure." But you're right, anything can happen within five months time...

I know Bernie ain't winning... Most likely will be Hilary because of the caucasian members of my generation(Millennials) are programmed to think that they're sexist pigs if they don't votes for her. Then you've got Trump to catering to the angry and generally jingoistic portion of the Republican party. And there ain't no way these PC Puppets are voting for him. Bernie ain't winning because he's the one that makes the most sense which peopl are too angey and bitter to listen to these days.

But regardless of who wins between Trump or Clinton, either one would screw this country over.

I have no problem with a woman being President of the United States, but that doesn't mean Hillary Clinton should be elected solely because she is a woman. I think Donald Trump has a lot of momentum going for him, and whether a person likes him or not, what he has is the peoples' belief that he will bring "needed change" to Washington. Every single time a major player in U.S. Politics stands up to him so vehemently, it only reinforces and solidifies his chances -what does that say?

IDK, but historically the professional betting odds have been very accurate - the most accurate predictors of Presidential wins. This betting has been active for four years and four years ago it was Clinton.

@electionbettingodds

Clinton 63.3%
Trump 29.6%
Sanders 3.5%

@oddsshark.com

Hillary Clinton -275
Donald Trump +250
Bernie Sanders +1600

@paddypower

Hillary Clinton 1/2
Donald Trump 7/4
Bernie Sanders 20/1
Joe Biden 33/1

Why is Joe Biden in there? Because incumbents get 99.7% re-elected is a political strategy for the current incumbent to 'step down' and resign from office a month or so before elections and VP would be the acting president.

Anyway that's what happened in Russia, Yeltsin resigned and appointed Putin as president and has been reelected ever since then.

I believe USA Presidential elections are as honest as Russia's.

Having been a strong supporter off Bill, I am surprised how much I am beginning to dislike his wife the more I learn about her.
News sources like ABC, MSNBC, CNN etc. offering the standard tunnel vision groupthink actually prove that there is a lot wrong with Hillary that her supporters in the media are covering up.

A month ago, it seemed 'Crooked' Hillary (lol) was going to win hands-down. On the news, Democrats were gloating and the Republicans were saying, "Let's wait till a bit later to decide".

I just laughed thinking there was no chance for Trump and Hillary would win.

Now, the polls show about a percentage point of difference.

It seems more Americans are discovering that Trump has a much better chance than most of us could have ever imagined.... and they like the idea.
