The Candidates

Two Democrats and five Republicans are still in the running for their party’s 2016 presidential nomination.

The democrats:

Hillary Clinton – “Our goal is not to deter or contain ISIS, but to defeat and destroy ISIS.”Why she will win:

(69 years old)

Education: Wellesley College, Yale university Law school.

Had a wife, Bill and a child, Chelsea.

Why she will win:

Mrs. Clinton has nearly 100 percent name recognition as well as a built-in base of support among working-class women. Republicans will need to catch up, and they face a potentially brutal primary season in which they will be pushed to the right on issues like immigration and education, which could drive independents into Mrs. Clinton’s arms in a general election.

Mrs. Clinton should also enjoy an enormous financial advantage in a campaign that is expected to cost her $2.5 billion, with the help of “super PAC” donations and nearly universal support within the Democratic establishment.

The message:

Her economic message will highlight issues that resonate with women in particular, including a higher minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, early childhood education, and affordable child care.
