My thoughts in September 2015...

At this point in 2015, I thought a lot of things were possible for the GOP, I felt that if they truly thought the election was lost that they'd put Jeb! up as a sacrificial lamb (honestly to this day it surprises me that people thought Jeb! could win). If they felt they could win, the moderates and establishment Republicans would rally behind Rubio and he'd win the nomination. Another possibility was that the moderates and establishment end up doing what they actually did and split their support between Rubio, Jeb!, and Kasich, only Trump would still falter and exit the race and Cruz would be the nominee due to the divided field.

For the Democrats, it was in September 2015 that there was talk about Biden entering the race. I thought this was a possibility and if it were to happen, Bernie would either narrowly win the nomination due to divided opposition or the convention would be deadlocked and the nomination would be up for grabs. If Biden didn't run, even though I was a Bernie Supporter, I didn't think he had a chance at the nomination at that time (and didn't till early 2016) and felt the nomination was Clinton's to lose.

As for the general election, I thought (and thought correctly) that it'd be close and I felt it could go either way depending on who ended up becoming the nominees.
