As the political horizon's blade approaches, impending destiny tempts discussion toward the inevitable, and the associated predictions. Assuming the best/worst is all over, and the elected term(s) finished: What will be the outcome of this honorable/horrific period to historians? Forecast.

What will Congress look like? Who would be in her cabinet? Also, are we really so sure she will be elected? Etc.

I find it impossible to make any predictions on that with all that's happening with the Republican party right now.

Granted, Hillary won the upcoming election almost three months ago, but if T comes out on top in Indiana next week, I'd say the whole future of the Republican party looks totally uncertain.

It will be a totally different political landscape in the U.S. The only certainty right now is that Hillary is president elect.

Hillary wish usher in and nurture the Right wing party of the U.S. political system. A new and better right wing party than it has had since at least Eisenhower. She will watch the extreme right party die while finding new challenges from her left.

It's getting more interesting now. Hillary would have won what would look like a more orthodox election against Cruz. T initially served his purpose of knocking out any electable candidate and he could have just handed it back to Cruz to take the loss in the general election.

T is now going to take Indiana and secure himself as the nominee, bringing about an all out implosion in the Republican party. It looks like the Democrats want more than just an election victory. T may be instrumental in preventing the totally predictable galvanization of the GOP against Hillary.

If the party is somehow forced to unite behind T, GOP heads will roll in both Houses. That seems weird because they'll usually drop a candidate from their own party like a hot potato if it means keeping their House seats (in the case of Bush Senior).

Obama had a brief period of time with majorities in the legislature, but wisely seemed to play it cool with that. Hillary probably has something quite different in mind; nursing vendettas from what they did to Bill back in the day.

Hillary is no sure thing. I give her a moderate edge, but I think Trump has positioned himself very well. He's had his mind on Hillary all along and is ready to take her out. You can see by his opening moves, especially the bait that he dangled with the 'Woman Card' he laid out for Hillary, which she gleefully chomped down on. She'll rue that when debate time comes.

[Otus]

A small fortune could be made finding T supporters and nailing them down to bets. At least they must be convinced he is serious about winning. This will be fun once his nomination is secured.

Hillary will do for gender relations what Obama did for race relations.

By this time tomorrow it'll be prima facie one big step closer for HRC. T will have taken Indiana, the GOP will officially be toast in terms of any claim to the executive branch and as a unified party. However,any phoenix could arise out of this. One wonders if it wouldn't have been a safer bet for Democrats to have gotten Cruz on the R ticket.

Perhaps Vice President Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

He has Warren's populist bona fides, but will not suck the air out of the room. He is staunch in his opposition to free trade. But he is Senator in a state held by a Republican governor, so Clinton may pass him over for this reason alone.

[Plain Meaning]

Her Vice President will likely be either Vilsack or Kaine (80% certainty). Clinton can actually control Kaine's replacement through her pawn McAuliffe. Either might shore up a half of a percent in terms of voting share in swing states. I prefer Vilsack because Kaine is a another goddamned Harvard Law grad.

[Rteacher]

If she can win (by no means a sure thing) and win big enough for Democrats to regain control of the Senate (good chance) and House (long shot), then there would be at least be a chance for some positive progress (but I wouldn't bet on it ...)
