Who will be the US President in 2016?

One of the lucky accident of my retirement happens to be that I  have a whole day free of commitment on 10/22/2015 – the day presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton,  testified before the Benghazi committee. I actually watched the hearing for the entire day (all 11 hours) which I don’t  think happens in any other country in the rest of the world regardless  the form of governance. Under relentless and hostile questioning ( or rather  prosecution  I might say), Hillary held up remarkably well. She kept her cool  and defended herself well throughout. While I might be biased, but I am going to venture that anyone saw her performance will agree that you will be glad to have her to be your president. What could be a disaster for her, turned into an advertisement for her candidacy. Hence, I will make a bold prediction 13 months ahead of time that Hillary Clinton will be elected the next Presidentof  the U.S. In 2016. I trust I shall live long enough to be proved right or wrong.

I realize Chinese citizens won't be interested in the Benghazi inquiry and  understandibly so. But China will be interested in who will be the next US president.
