A Republican will win the Presidency
Before you post your biased and pre-determined response to this thread, hear me out. Currently the Republican debates are going on, and a lot of the Republican candidates are looking very sharp. This isn't the same type of debates (aka clown circus) as four years ago, sans Trump, and there are many attractive options on the Republican side who will appeal to a large variety of Republicans and fed-up independents.
On the Democrat side of the political spectrum, it is seeing a lot of turmoil. Clinton, the top candidate option, is seen as largely unfavorable by the common American and is losing a lot of ground to the very socialist based candidate, Bernie Sanders. Now, Sanders has a large backing, yet he has almost no chance to win the presidency. When it comes close to voting season, things like economic principles and plans get a lot more scrutiny, and Sanders is just too ludicrous in principle to appeal to Conservative Democrats, Independents, or any Republicans. The only answer for the Democrats is Joe Biden, who Democrats/Clinton Foundation have actively pressured into not running in fear of competition to Clinton.
When it comes to voting, voter turnout is incredibly important. Right now, there are a lot of registered Republicans who do not want another 4-8 years under a Democratic candidate like Sanders or Clinton, and Democrats are not going to have the ambition for Clinton like they did Obama. As stated before, Sanders will not have the backing of a large chunk of Democrats who are not extremely progressive and are instead economically conservative. There is not confidence in someone like Clinton, and it will be an extremely rocky road for any Democrat hoping to be the president.
In my own opinion, a new Democratic candidate needs to rise and take the reigns before the window closes, because right now the Democratic Party is doing its best 2008/2012 Republican Circus impression.
TL;DR: Sanders and Clinton will not have a strong backing, Republicans have viable options this election who people will want to vote in.

I myself am also a bit sick of democrats, but that's probably because we've had Obama for too long. [spoiler]It's a shame because I'm sure he really wanted to help and be a good president, but was too scared of breaking the country if he was too radical.[/spoiler] Then again Sanders might not have endes up with a better chance on the republican ballot, people would have just made a fool of him. He already appeals to the public as a person, but he needs to appeal to people sick of Obama as well. [spoiler]Please don't vote for Trump :'( [/spoiler]
