you never know!
We live in a world where the odds-on favorite to be the next president has as her primary qualification that she was a scandal-ridden president's wife who took the lead role on his greatest policy failure. She used that non-credential, and nothing more, to become an ineffective Senator. Then used that to blow an overwhelming lead in a presidential race to the most unlikely candidate ever. That led directly to the chance to fail as Secretary of State. So now she will most likely be the next president.
US politics is really a strange, strange land. Big money moves mountains and there is far more now than there was even 6 years ago. Very little about politics is too strange for me to believe. President Ted Cruz isn't even all that close to the boundary. A couple candidate implosions (and they've all got secrets), a few fortuitous events, the right big-money backers, and Ted Cruz is rolling.
