Pointless poll in reality, but as a political junkie it's somewhat interesting, since "someone else" is the ultimate opponent. Some Democrats may be picturing Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, others could be picturing Zell Miller or Jim Matheson, and everything in between (including "unbeatable titan" Joe Biden.) Similarly, on the Republican side, people could be picturing anything from Jon Huntsman to Mitt Romney to Ted Cruz to Rand Paul to Mike Huckabee.
I interpret that as Hillary's inevitability being unshakable from the start, regardless of who her opponent(s) were. Trump could've been in trouble with a strong unifying figure, but it's doubtful such a figure could ever have materialized, and same goes for the Dem side. Candidates who tried to be all things to all people tended to flame out early or put in embarrassingly pathetic performances (Walker, Jindal, Paul, Rubio, O'Malley.)
