Who will be our next president? (note: who will be, not who you would like it to be)

Politics & Elections
1

Public poll. Two choices.

Come November we’ll see which Dopers are the smartest of the smart.

2

Not enough choices. Stranger things have happened.

3

Everything favors Clinton right now. Things can change. I may move to Canada if someone wins.

4

I’m pretty sure it will be Clinton, but by a narrower margin than makes me comfortable.

I’ll vote for her, not because I like her(I don’t) but because she would be the lesser of two evils. It seems to me there’s no other way to keep Trump from winning except by voting for Hillary. Ugh.

5

The poll is for those who believe it will be one of the two. Thought that was obvious.
mmm

6

A poll is faulty if it does not allow for all options, including “other” if that is logically possible. Thought that was obvious.

7

Clinton. Her choice of VP nails it. He’s going be “the old white dude” in the White House.

And it’s past time when America should have had a female President.

8

I think it’s pretty obvious that there are only two realistic options.

9

I’m pretty sure Clinton will win. it won’t be a “Reagan '84” landslide, though, since I think a lot of people will stay home or cast a throwaway vote for other rather than vote for either of them.

“moving to Canada” isn’t as easy as people like to think it is, especially if you will have to work.

10

If you could of and of course you can’t …
you should’ve had a poll for non Illinois residences only in order to give Trump a fair chance:D

11

Hillary in a landslide.

12

That line can be interpreted in two very different ways.

13

I like how there are candidates from the “Prohibition Party,” and they’re evidently serious.

There hasn’t been a president who was not a Democrat or Republican since Millard Fillmore, a Whig, succeeded Zachary Taylor in office in 1850. Do you seriously expect a third party candidate to win in 2016?

15

I went on record on 2 March 2016: I predict that Donald Trump is going to win the election for POTUS this year.

16

A lying corrupt criminal or a narcissist buffoon.

17

Trump wouldn’t have a chance if he was running against anybody but Hillary. Hillary wouldn’t have a chance if she was running against anybody but Trump. It will all come down to who is hated more.

18

I do not support Trump, but I live in the country that re-elected Bush in 2004.

19

Equally obvious: this isn’t the thread for you.
mmm

20

That’s not obvious, it’s ridiculous.

Care to share with us what you think is a more likely scenario than Clinton or Trump becoming president? The way things stand now, the only way that one or the other will not be elected is due to some unpredictable event, such as one of them dying.
