Who is most likely to get elected President in 2016?

Jeb Bush has the money backing and has an army of donors and is relentlessly doing fundraisers I think that will pip him the GOP nomination as in the end the republican party will choose a moderate.

Ultimately I think he'll be the 45th president of the United States but of course this prediction is preemptive. I think he'll win the nomination if he chooses a marketable running mate, Rubio would be a good choice.

If the republicans successfully get the Latino swing voters they can win and I believe that Bush can successfully do this, in 2004 G.W Bush won 44 % of the Latino vote and I think Jeb can do this if he chooses Rubio as his running mate. Bush has won the Latino vote in the past in his elections in Florida and with Rubio on the ticket the Republican party can be more appealing to Latin American voters especially if they propose some form of immigration reform and not say anything as stupid as Romney did in the Primaries. They're also automatically more appealing to Latin American voters because they'll be more relatable to them because of there personal lives too. The Catholic vote is also traditionally a swing vote and Bush being Catholic could make him more appealing.

I also think he'll be effectively able to distance himself from his brother with a good campaign, he's far more eloquent than his brother and is quite youthful looking I think it won't be much of an issue especially if his opponent is Hillary Clinton because she won't be able to really attack him for that. White people will vote Republican again.

On the other side of the fence I think the democrats will find it hard to win a third term and I don't think Hillary is as good of a campaigner as Obama she's a highly controversial figure not as charismatic as him and faces a tougher challenge as the democratic party will have incumbency and people will want a change in party. She can't effectively attack Jeb Bush because of his name obviously because she's Clinton's wife and she supported Bush's most controversial action as president - the Iraq war.

So I predict a Bush-Rubio ticket victory against Hillary Clinton and somebody else as the democratic challenger.
