It looks like ... it's going to be The Donald vs. The Hillary. Oh, joy.
It's still possible that we could have a contested Republican convention, and the Republican-powers-that-be will pull Jeb out of whatever hole he fell into, or draft Ryan or Romney, or nominate Bozo the Clown. I don't think that's very likely, though. On the conservative (well, non-progressive, sort of, anyway) side it looks most likely that The Donald will be our choice. Pardon me while I go vomit. I wish there was a way to invest in European comedians, though...
It's also possible that The Hillary will be indicted or even charged in the email scandal. I've no idea what would happen after that, though I suppose that depends largely on exactly when that happened. If it happened before the Democratic convention, they could cobble up some sort of procedure to get another nominee – in that case, it seems most likely it would be Bernie. If she was indicted sometime closer to the election, I'm not sure what the Democrats could do. Can they change their nominee after selecting one at their convention? I don't know what the rules are there. And I wouldn't put it past her to just keep right on running, unless they actually hauled her away. In any case, I think the most likely outcome here is that she is not indicted or charged, and she will be the Democratic nominee.
If it's The Donald vs. The Hillary, I won't be voting. No way either one of them is getting my vote...
