Anyone silly enough to believe the premise of the OP should open an Irish brokerage account and put their money where their mouth is. Predictwise has Clinton at 98% to be the nominee which means that you would get great odds http://predictwise.com/politics/2016-president-democratic-nomination In other words, the free market system and the smart money making a market here do not think that any of the options listed above are going to happen.
