Bush, Biden, Rubio & Trump all at better percentages to become president than Sanders. And Clinton?

She is ahead of Bush, Biden, Rubio & Trump combined.

From Predictwise, the predictive market aggregator:

2016 Presidency Winner:
Clinton - 44%
Bush - 11%
Biden - 11%
Rubio - 10%
Trump - 7%
Sanders - 6%

http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016president

Clinton has had a very good week in both polls and news, for sure.

On edit: Include Sanders in the first list and Clinton is equal to the combined chances of the next 5 below her.

Where have YOU been?

There have been literally hundreds of posts here about HRC's lead among AAs and minorities.

But then, you're the one who told me a few weeks ago that people who supported Obama don't support Hillary - so I shouldn't be too surprised that you don't know what's going on.

and go away. I'm not interested in anything more you have to say.
Peace

ETA: Poll numbers don't mean diddly squat at this point in time. Bernie is gaining on Hillary and have been from day one with 14 months to go.

Last time Hillary got beat by young and 'inexperienced' Obama this time it will be by the Old experienced guy. Get used to it

Traveling to okc, probably not. Thats a three plus hour drive for us, you see I'm an old man, so I'll stay home and watch online, I don't have to press flesh, (shake his hand,) or see him in person to know that he is the man who will lead us come January 2017.

other such crap, then Hillary or some Republican is your best bet. If it's about finally taking politics to the people, and the people to politics, then join in and work for Bernie.

It's just a way of assessing the current odds of the various different possible outcomes.
