1. Who would you guess is the President?
Ted Cruz, because he seemed just that awful and sneaky.

2. What would your 2015 self say happens to said President?
Impeachment and removal would be a lock, because not even Republicans in the Senate like him.

3. What do you think said President gets done from 2017-September 2019?
Kills the ACA, changes the makeup of SCOTUS such that Roe v Wade and same-sex marriage are dead.

4. How do you guess the 2018 midterms go?  (This depends on which person you guess is President and their party).
Big gains for Democrats after 20 million Americans suddenly find themselves uninsured.

5. What are the implications for a hypothetical 2020?
President Rubio is going to have a hard time picking up the pieces. The GOP would be completely fractured with no strongman to hold it all together.

Hillary but only because in early 2015 everybody was acting like that was a 100 percent gurantee

I thought she was a lock to be the nominee (even in Jan 2015), but I didn't consider her election in the general to be a done deal until Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee.

The Podesta emails revealed that, around this time, Clinton's private email server was "radioactive" and this was a serious problem for her. But it didn't really blow up in the general public's eyes until much later that year. If I recall correctly. Which is hard to do because I've tried very hard to forget that entire ordeal.

I also don't listen to right-wing radio/TV, and I'm not sure when they started making this a major talking point.
