With Sanders out of the running and Trump accepted as the reps candidate..This is not about who YOU are going to vote for, but who you honestly think will win the election.

I don't have a horse in the race being a 'limey' but for what it's worth I think Hillary will get it by a painfully close margin.

No need for a mass debate on the matter, just a show of hands really. What do you think??

Trump is an okey entertainer, but i deem a catastrophe in the duty that is politics, he will be the Caligula of the American Republic

Clinton. Not because she'll get more votes, but because it has already been decided. Why else would they have rigged the primaries for someone whom the majority seems to hate?

We only hear the bad things about Trump but even so it's hard to imagine that someone with no political experience can become President of the USA.

I think's part of his appeal, at least to the simple minded.

The perception is that he is 'anti-establishment' but I don't believe anyone that rich can truly be anti-establishment.

I agree though, we don't really know that much about Trump. We know that he is an ill researched bigot with a shopping list of policies which, the moral bankruptcy aside, he would not be able to implement anyway. It's telling that so many people think he could, but to be fair to Trump he is the only candidate from either party who has pledged to patch up relations with Russia instead of pushing the war agenda even harder. Putin likes him apparently...no that that's a great a character reference of course, but relative harmony with Moscow is always a good thing in principle.

^ I think Putin likes Trump for obviously cynical reasons. Because with Trump as president, Putin suddenly seems like a swell guy. Hey, it worked for Stalin.

True, but also Trump is a businessman and hasn't quite got his head round this 'geo-politics' thing. If he does get into power, he'll be educated pretty quickly on how things really work, and his adoring followers will find themselves very disappointed.

It is bad news or bad news, but I think that Hellary will pull it off.

Trump wins in a walk.  Yes, I believe most of my fellow Americans really are that dumb.

Unfortunately i so agree with this. Presidents are selected not elected and Wall Street bankers pull the puppet strings. I have been predicting her as the winner before this whole idiot pageant began. I was cautiously hoping Sanders would win but it became clear that he would never be allowed to get near any true position to implement his ideas and he was flawed from the beginning as well

Trump. Because you asked for gut feeling, and my gut tells me so. I'm terrified.

If he actually starts ignoring NATO and leaves Russia room to do as it pleases, it's a connection well beyond that.

Trump is Putin's and ISIS' best hope.

I wouldn't vote even if I could. I don't see the point.

Trump......because I have no desire to explain to my kids and grand kids that a criminal was voted into the highest office in the US. Please don't tell me she and Billyboy are not criminals either.....We all know OJ did it, but for some reason he is free too.

It nauseates me to think she has a chance to be the first women president.....I would pull that chapter out of my grand kids history books.

I think Vompatti has a good point too....

We share then the idea that our bowels, our intestines, our stomachs, and all waste-producing organs tend to think about Trump first.

I'm not sure there is any event short of a mankind-extinction supervolcano eruption that would make you say that someone wins. TongueWink
