Maybe it's just me but all of this posturing and predicting are meaningless (maybe fun, but meaningless) -- as we learned from election night 2016, an election night prediction giving HRC a 93% chance of winning was shown to be wrong - anything can happen

I think five thirty eight had Trump at 29% and betfair gave him 17% on election day.
When you hit your flush draw does that make the odds wrong?
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Psst. There has been another election since 2016. And pretty much all of the election forecasters got 2018 exactly right (except EvenBob).

2016 was a weird fluke and the MAGA crowd knows it. That’s why they’re so angsty all the time despite all the “winning.”

Except nobody remembers or cares
about off year elections. We all
vividly remember 2012. There was
a big election in 2014, anybody
ever talk about it or even recall
one thing about that election?
Nope..

Trump announced there was going to be a red wave
He got a blue wave
Is that winning? Lol

It is my opinion that the polls were wrong on purpose - the media and pollsters were all in for HRC and rigging the polls served as an impetus to keep people away from the polls - POTUS Trump voters, they likely believed, would stay away from the polls thinking their vote would not count as the election was over before it started

Here is one weird thing, it looks like Schultz is amazed at the liberal hate directed towards him. He thought he would be welcomed with open arms.


How can a billionaire be so clueless? Of course they are going to vilify him for handing the election to Trump.

Just put the names in a hat
and pick one. So much will
change in the year and a half
till the convention that this
list will be unrecognizable.

Does the media really think
they can keep us interested
in this yawner process thru
two more Easters and two
more 4th of July's? That's
how far away the convention
is.

Liberals like him get delusional. He thinks he is loved by the left and they will love him no matter what. Same as John McCain actually thought the media loved him and Democrats loved him. Guys like that do not see the reality of politics.
The President is a fink.

As soon as Trump won, he started planning
this. He would ride in on a white horse,
a billionaire like Trump's a billionaire,
and save the world from Trump.

His people say he's deeply shaken at
how the Left has treated him. He
ain't seen nothin yet, just continue
on.

There's no room on the Left anymore for
Centrists. If you're not radical, if you're
not a full-blown socialist, they will blow
you out of the water. Same thing
happened when Reagan beat Carter,
the Left went bonkers radical for
the next 12 years and lost 2 more
elections.
