Probably not. I mean...Andrew Jackson beat somebody.
As for this round of candidates;
I like Bernie Sanders, he doesn't bullshit and I like a lot of his ideas. But he's just too liberal for America.
Hllary Clinton is pretty moderate and obviously has the Clinton name behind her. But she just isn't likable, at least not to me.
Jebb Bush is going to spend this whole campaign trying to make sure nobody ties him to his brother. He will likely end up being the republican candidate for president though.
Trump is an idiot who is only popular right now because he's making a big fuss and has managed to snag the super-conservative crowd for the moment. Democrats should hope to god that he wins the republican nomination because it would pretty much guarentee another democratic president.

Andrew Jackson's rival campaign brought up the fact that his marriage to Rachel Robards wasn't technically legal when it was first made. That was due to her first husband falsely having the local newspaper print a notice of divorce when he never finalized it, so the Jacksons actually married in good faith, and by the time Jackson was actually running for President Rachel Jackson's divorce had been finalized and they were legally married. Yet, his political rivals accused them of bigamy and shacking up. Twenty years earlier, Jackson shot Charles Dickinson dead in a duel over accusations that Rachel was a bigamist. Meanwhile, John Quincy Adams was accused of running illegal gambling operations on public money and handing over an American woman for sexual slavery to the Czar of Russia. And thus modern campaigning was born.
Trump has always been a master manipulator. He's also been a running joke as for over thirty years. A certain loud contingent of the populace is hoping for a Reagan-style landslide with him.
