I think there's a good chance that, for what I'm assuming is the first time in US history (unless you count Obama running unopposed for the 2012 Democratic nom.

), the presidential primary field for one of the two major parties will *not* have a non-Hispanic white male majority. For this, I'm only counting people who would be prominent enough to be included in polls. Not joke candidates like Randall Terry or Vermin Supreme.
Looks like you could easily have ~1/3rd or more being female, and then on top of that Booker seems quite likely to run, and maybe Castro too, and there could be other minorities throwing their hats in as well. (If you want to take Kanye seriously, you could include him too.

)
A couple of things that could derail this though: 1) Maybe Trump's electoral success will encourage one or more billionaires (like Tom Steyer) to enter the race, and 2) maybe Sanders's success in getting more than 40% of the Democratic primary vote will encourage multiple Kucinich-like progressive backbenchers to give it a shot as well. I don't know who those folks might be, but they might be more likely to be white males than the current "top tier" candidates.
