I think it's other way round, Trump is lucky it's Clinton, because if it had been Bernie Sanders, Sanders may have won easy and lots of Bernie Sanders supporters feel Hillary stole the Democratic ticket from him. Wikileak revelations did suggest this to be the case.

But Jeb Bush ? Seriously doubt that, his older brother, former President George W Bush's approval is the lowest of all Presidents by the time he left office and I think people would be thinking we need to get out of the pattern of having generations of an entire family gaining the Presidency and even the Clinton's have family ties with the Bushes through Marriage. Jenna Bush, former first daughter. The family ties to Hillary Clinton through marriage to her uncle Bill - George W Bush's 'brother from another mother.

I do feel a lot of people aren't understanding the Trump factor. I myself this time last year, thought he was an arrogant stupid old rich fool that ran away with this gob and I was actually routing for Hillary to be President, I was kinda excited that I was around when we gained the first black President and now a first Woman President but after watching many of the debates and then reading stuff on the Clinton's and all the feedback from my American friends. I began to feel some kind of hate forming towards her and that I began to feel she is not best suited to the job of President, some of the things she said, some of the policies she has adopted. I was becoming totally turned off with her.

As for Trump, despite not really liking the guy very much before today, I started to listen to what he was saying and like him or loathe him, some of the things he says about the corrupt establishment is so correct. Many people ridicule him, but like my American pals tell me all the time, he is so anti-establishment, he is not in anybodies pocket, he doesn't need to be and people are more engaged with him for these reasons alone, which explains why all his rallies are so packed and Hillary's and her running mate Kaine's struggle to fill their rallies. Kaine only had 30 people attend his rally earlier this week.

Well, if you watched the Presidential debates, the second one I think, I think it is pretty hypocritical of Hillary Clinton accusing Russia of influencing the US Election and here we have a recording of her saying they, a foreign power, needed to determine who won the Palestine Election.
