:::With someone like Barack Obama winning two terms, with so many candidates running and with Hillary's scandals deepening in their unseemly revelations, it is extremely hard to predict who will be the next president of the United States.

::::I'll predict: Scott Walker. He's way ahead in Iowa.[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ia/iowa_republican_presidential_caucus-3194.html] The only other plausible candidates are Jeb Bush and Hillary -- and we need to be optimistic.

:::::I'll throw my hat in the prediction ring! I'd say for the Republican ticket it'll be Bush/Rubio (that would really pull the Hispanic vote, which the Republicans desperately need). The big Dem strategy for the future is flip Texas imho, but I don't see a way to do that this time. So probably Clinton/Webb since he's really no threat to her, and that might help them in Virginia and maybe with the military crowd. I seriously doubt the RNC will let Trump run, and if he runs independent the Republicans are sunk. I think this is actually pretty likely too. So I'm guessing a three party ticket featuring Trump/Whoever (I really thought it would be Fiorina to cement the business platform, and that way they wouldn't be left out of the "diversity race," but they've been having words lately so I don't know...), Bush/Rubio (no questions about Florida this time), and Clinton/Webb (maybe O'Malley if Jimbo gets too feisty at the debates). That almost certainly means another Clinton presidency. I guess everybody gets two turns in America...

:::::I wonder how much Trump is willing to spend to advance his campaign. It could be Walker's Koch brothers funding vs. Trump's campaign dollars. Hillary and Jeb Bush can probably raise a lot of money too. Perhaps, to a lessor degree, Cruz and Rubio will be able to generate campaign cash (but they are young and can raise name awareness for next time).[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 00:50, 17 July 2015 (EDT)

I just thought. A lot of Trump's money is tied up in commercial real estate and businesses.  So there is the liquidity issue. So Trump could potentially try to raise money for his campaign. I wonder how easy it is for a billionaire to raise money for a presidential campaign? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 00:58, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
