It's far too early to tell, as the majority of voters aren't even really paying attention right now, which is why a bile-spewing buffoon like Trump can rise to the top of the polls.

That said, I'll attempt to break down some semblance of a prediction:

If Trump becomes the Republican candidate--which is unlikely but possible--then pretty much any Democrat with a pulse should win a general election by a landslide. Trump is just ostracizing too many necessary voting demographic groups in his red blooded pursuit of the unwashed conservative masses.

On the other side, Hillary is very likely to win the Democratic nomination, as she's actually miles ahead of any other candidate (despite the media's attempt to cherry pick polls and sell the story that Bernie Sanders is keeping the race tight). You never really know how this sort of thing is going to go until people start voting in primaries, but Bernie simply isn't connecting with the party faithful and building a support base that's likely to rival Clinton's.

So, Trump against Hillary would mean a president Hillary.

If Trump doesn't win the party nomination, well, that's where things get interesting. I could see either Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio giving Hillary a serious run for her money once they snag the nomination and tack to the middle like all candidates do. They're both wingnuts and quite out of sync with the general voting public, but they still might present well enough to seem like a solid alternative to Clinton Round Two. Still, I'd put my money on a President Hillary with either of those two running against her.

Of course, in the above scenario it's also entirely possible a primary-rejected Trump would run as an independent, which would siphon off the Tea Party/racist shitbag vote and doom the Republican nominee. Trump claimed he wouldn't do this, but I don't think he'd let a little thing like a promise stand in his way if there's pending attention to absorb.

Also: if Bernie Sanders somehow manages to win the Democratic nomination, whoever runs against him will win the presidency (with the possible sole exception of Trump).

And lest it seem like I'm being too kind to Hillary, I actually think she's a a far weaker general election candidate than the Democratic faithful believe, and any truly moderate Republican could probably beat her. Only a couple moderate Republicans showed up this election, though, and their campaigns are all collapsing in upon themselves.

So...does that help?

I refuse to believe you're that stupid.

Yes, it's true...All of the illegals and Mexican gangs infiltrating the U.S. will be in big trouble, unless they go back to Mexico.

It will be a trying time, for all of the good law-abiding Mexicans, when the waves of undesirables make their return to the homeland...My heart goes out to thee...:(
