Hate me if you want, but I haven't move from my prediction of May 10: I still think Donald Trump will win the election.

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Sep 23 '16, 10:19

I don't want him to.

I don't even want to believe he will.

I don't even want to think about the Presidential election anymore.

But there you have it.

I stand by my Hillary landslide victory prediction of May of 2008. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 11:13 1
- this is the kiss of death for her. -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 11:16
And I stand by mine that he doesn't get 200 electoral votes. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 10:37 2
- If he does win, I'm going to apply for asylum in Krustyland - ty97 Sep 23, 10:42 1
  - :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 11:12
I don't hate you, I just hope you're wrong. - ty97 Sep 23, 10:26 4
- the more shit that hits the fan, the more he gains ground IMO. - groiny Sep 23, 10:30 3
  - except, he's losing worse than Romney at this point -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:31 2
    - But has gained a good bit of ground since the democratic convention. -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 10:36 1
      - and already started to give it back this week -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:41
I still think HRC clobbers him, but only serves 1 term as the Republicans wise up and nominate a much better candidate in 2020. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:23 21
- I don't expect her to be a two-term president at all, for various reasons. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 10:34 3
  - health? what else? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:35 2
    - Several things - ty97 Sep 23, 10:41 1
      - If she gets demo senate then at least we can have a reasonable SCOTUS appointment, perhaps 2...she will bring peace love and understanding - zeitgeist Sep 23, 11:26
- Depends on how successful the GOP in the House is in stymying her agenda and tanking the economy. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 10:31 12
  - ... well yes, that's typically what opposition parties do when they don't align with the President. -- nm* - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:34 10
    - Most opposition parties try and tank the economy? - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 10:35 9
      - No, Part 1. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:36 8
        
        I also disagree with that point, unless you're only looking selectively at recent history. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 10:37 7
        
        OK. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:41 6
        
        And let's not fool ourselves - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 10:47 5
        
        Yes znufrii, that's exactly what Republicans run on and implement when in office. Tanking the economy and hurting the private sector. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:51 4
        
        Well, they give it a better name, usually, like "trickle down" or "supply side". It amounts to the same thing when enacted. -- nm - TWuG Sep 23, 11:09
        
        That really is exactly how they have run the last 8 years. Opposition. Shut down the government. Try to make things as bad as possible to blame - pmb Sep 23, 11:03 1
        
        They pretty much ran on the promise of the first. -- nm - . Sep 23, 11:05
        
        When they can blame Obama for it, that's exactly what they've done. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 10:53
  - obstruction is a given. the only question is how the Dems respond as a party during the midterms -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:32
- other than Kasich and Cruz, all of the other possible contenders are Trump supporters. good luck with that -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:28 3
  - Cruz is apparently mulling a Trump endorsement -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 10:29 2
    - And I'm not sure that being a Trump endorser will hurt anyone in 4 years. Kasich is taking a gamble -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 10:42 1
      - he'll never get the current GOP nomination in any year -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:44
And I still doubt he gets 40% of the vote. -- nm - David Sep 23, 10:22 8
- If I had to bet, I think RC is probably wrong (though it's not impossible for Trump to win, my gut right now says Hillary wins a close one) - ty97 Sep 23, 10:23 7
  - Polls failed in 2012 because they don't reflect actual voting patterns. - David Sep 23, 10:31 1
    - And polls could fail this year because they might not be accurately predicting voting patterns in 2016 -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 10:35
  - yeah, I think it will be close and many of us will be sweating bullets on election night -- nm - decline Sep 23, 10:26 4
    - the ultimate outcome will likely be known fairly early, based on how Pennsylvania and Florida come in -- nm - mr monkey Sep 23, 10:30 3
      - pet peeve: I despise the fact that our polls close at different times around the country. -- (edited) - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:33 2
        
        That's just being mean to the thousands of staff and volunteers needed to run the day for the elections offices and the parties. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 23, 10:36 1
        
        Our voters should develop more of a sense of civic duty and volunteerism. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 23, 10:37
