At this point, I understand how this prediction will be received. It’s been common belief for some time that Hillary Clinton would headline the ticket. And there’s ample reasoning to think that she will. So let’s begin there.
First, she’s got something that more than half of the field doesn’t have. Namely, a pair of x chromosomes; she’s a woman (and not the Bruce Jenner kind). As such, opposition to her ascendency to the highest seat of political power in America can immediately be panned as archaic fear among a misogynistic rabble of conservative men (and the crowing of millions of simple and unliberated conservative women that are subservient to them, no doubt) before any policy positions are considered. The Republican “War on Women” farce was established during the 2012 campaign season, and it was lapped up by the media to great effect. There’s no reason to think that her campaign would not enjoy a bit of immunity due to this preceding phenomenon.
Second, she’s American royalty, so to speak. I’ve had more than a few friends tell me that they don’t know anyone who likes Jeb Bush for the Republican presidential ticket. Yet here we are, listening to possibility that he’s a Republican frontrunner for no other reason than his pedigree. Similarly, Hillary hasn’t done much worthy of note, and what she has done offers no signs that she would be a qualified leader of this country (more on this in a bit). But since lack of leadership experience, considering our current two-term president, is clearly not a deal-breaker for the Democrat voting bloc, sharing her husband’s last name should carry a good bit of weight.
The first two reasons lead to the third reason that Hillary is the leading candidate for the Democratic ticket.

This is what the democrats are banking on.
Well, I guess your opinion did not get out did it? Mr. Obvious.
Bingo! I’ve been saying for some time that many women who would otherwise vote R will, in the privacy of the voting booth, vote for Hillary. Women want to see a women president in their lifetime and for many of them this may be their only chance to make it happen.
Not saying it’s right ... but that’s the way it will play out IMNSHO.
No dynasties: No Clinton, No bush & No Kennedy!!
We need fresh blood!
They will need a “Ross Perot” to run a 3rd party effort to split the vote? Who? sarah Palin? Trump? Huckabee? Gen. Petraius? It would need to be someone who could 20% of the GOP vote. I don’t think anyone would fall for this plan.
