OT: Predictions for 2016 Presidential Election

[svelte]

Now the Republicans should hit the big red Panic button, as New Hampshire has chosen the correct Republican nominee for at least the last 4 elections.

Of course, the same can be said on the Democratic side…maybe they’ll both hit Panic at the same time.

Seems to me like Bernie is the type that will get killed if he wins. I don’t want that to be my prediction, but it makes me wonder.

I totally agree blogstar. Can’t imagine him winning the race for president.

Don’t you guys think that Trump supporters and Sanders supporters agree on the same things?

The “Trumpeters” want a bad-ass American way. They don’t like the word “socialism”.

Sanders supporters are young, earthy crunchy, they don’t mind the “socialist” label.

So the 2 groups have different lifestyles. But they agree on the big issues.

If Sanders has an accident, I hope it leads to mass demonstrations that shut this fuckin country DOWN.

He is old. And old people do have fatal accidents.

He was pretty good at basketball… So he has some years left.

Campaigning is tiring. Not sure I’d have the energy for that.
So kudos to Sanders.

He’s more spry than Clinton who’s widely reported as not being so healthy.

I have been hearing lots of Sanders ads in Nevada. Nevada used to be a very White state but it’s now much more Hispanic. When i watch Univision, I see that Hispanics are mostly focused on immigration.
Not sure if Sanders connects with Hispanics; but If he wins Nevada, he will get the nomination.

Trump will take Nevada because the Republicans like his braggadocio.

Watched part of the debate tonight. My conclusion, the republicans may have a brain surgeon as a presidential candidate, but the two most intelligent presidential candidates, by a big margin, are obviously from the democratic party.

You’re already covering for when the Clintons knock him off.

I agree.

Sanders is not saying how he will get his ideas passed. Obama couldn’t get an infrastructure bill passed, one that would have benefited economic growth and business. How will Sanders get anything done?

But I like Sanders because he speaks truth to power. I sent him some money because he deserves it.

Clinton is too lawyerly. She looked like the queen who was perfectly dressed by a lady’s maid. Sanders is dischivelled, with bad suit, bad shirt and bad tie. But he speaks the truth. It’s refreshing to hear.

The biggest issue in this coming election, for me anyway, is who I want to make the Supreme Court choices for the next 4-8 years.

Can I call’em or what???

[FlyerInHi]

You sure called it.

I’m really enjoying this election year. The best in my lifetime, so far. So many twists and turns.

I’m feeling good about myself and the economy. I’m gonna to stock up on popcorn and enjoy the show.

The Nevada Democratic caucus on February 20th will be interesting, simply because Hillary and Bernie look like they’re in a dead heat. Will they split the vote again, or can one of them build an edge?

On the same day there’s the Republican primary in South Carolina, which Trump looks like he’s going to win… but by how much? It looks nice to win on paper with 1/3 of the vote, but until he can get closer to a plurality of voters it just looks like we’re killing time until the Establishment settles between Rubio, Bush and Kasich. Cruz of course is the wild card, but enough of the party elites would probably just say “Whatever, Trump” than support Cruz as an Anti-Trump.

Then at the end of the month the Democrats get their turn in South Carolina. Right now the polls have Hillary winning there almost 2:1. That could be when she starts rolling towards Super Tuesday.
