2 weeks left...make your predictions

[CBradSmith]

I predict 1 medium sized bombshell comes out against Trump, but that he is largely inoculated by the "Pussy" death-shot attempt.

I expect a handful of medium sized "bombshells" against Hillary from which she'll be largely inoculated by a compliant media.

I expect at least 1 major event, be it an impactful "bombshell" against 1 of the 2 or an event abroad.

I expect the race to tighten to around 3 points as Trump expenditures begin to reach parity with Hillary's. I expect current "outlier" polls showing a close race to further move in the direction of Trump.

I think the range of the electoral outcome to be slight Hillary win to moderate Trump win (30+ electoral votes). Hillary could certainly win the popular vote (if it's a close election) while Trump wins the electoral, as protest voters in non-swing states vote 3rd party.

There will be party fragmentation and realignment on both sides over the next 4 years, regardless of who wins. Alternative media will increase in stature in a major way. Both "Establishments" to experience churn.

I predict history will look st this election as a major change event. Either we trend away from or towards globalism.

But either way I think it will mark a massive change in journalism.

Hillary wins but in doing so, makes Trump a powerful symbol of change.

 

[shortbus]

I predict Hillary wins by 12 points and the public goes back to not giving a shit. She punishes her enemies. Gets rich as hell. And the country further spirals into a pit of despair.

Nope.

This is 1964 all over again.

Trump = Goldwater. HRC = LBJ

 

[N. Pappagiorgio]

I expect at least one 8/10 bombshell on Hillary and a few 2/10 bombshells on Trump.

I have been studying the IBD/TIPP poll that has Trump up two and think he may be up even more than that. I think Trump will win.

 

[MajorMike_Ret]

357 - 181

My only waffle was on Az, if he wins it will be 346 - 192.

She wins slightly less than 50%, somewhere around 49.7%.

Everything returns to the way its been the last 20-30 years.

Trump wins by a majority that empowers his agenda when he takes office. He will have a mandate. Clinton is in big trouble and she and her campaign know it. Now they know that no one buys their rigged and scripted polls and their rigged and scripted media coverage. The emperor has no clothes. Expect a nuclear move on the part of establishment forces to maintain power.

 

[jkosu]

Okay, I'll play:

President Elect Clinton wins and makes the title bestowed upon her for a couple of months official. Probably not by a lot, but enough to get the job.

Trump throws a fit on twitter and the great overreaction by people with "Selected not Elected" bumper stickers will begin.

Stupid foreign policies that began in the Bush Administration and were continued and expanded in the Obama Administration, will continue. Something extremely bad will happen in the middle east thanks to all the weapons we've been dumping to try to take down Assad....maybe even with Iran since we've given them some spending money recently. President Clinton will blame this on a video or racism or something. No one will really mention how we've trained an entire generation to hate us with Obama's drone strikes and dumping of weapons into a Syrian civil war because we didn't like someone (or was it because Qatar wanted a pipeline built? or the Saudis wanted a "friendly" neighbor? I forget).

Establishment republicans will all use the phrase "I need your help to defeat President Clinton's policies in Washington " in their reelection ads even though they tried to sabotage Trump's campaign at every instance.

The economy will continue to be MEH but will be presented as "good".

The BigXII will go through three more rounds of "expand! no, wait" before it falls apart.
Houston remains in the G5 but has a new rival in Baylor.

I completely agree.

We are all screwed unless Hillary strokes out prior to Nov 8th..

 

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

• Hillary wins, but not nearly by as much as some here seem to think (and not by as much as I originally thought when Trump captured the nomination)
• There will undoubtedly be "bombshells" coming out on both candidates over the next two weeks. Probably at least one on Hillary that is more sensational than anything that has yet come out.
• GOP holds Senate 51-49
• Democrats gain 5 or fewer House seats
• Hillary is a 1 term President and is hamstrung throughout her Presidency, but adds 3-4 liberal USSC Justices.
• Republicans gain 5-10 Senate seats in 2018 and make big gains in the House as well in 2018.

 

[wyomingosualum]

 

[poke2001]

Hillary wins.

Rs keep both House and Senate.

She works with both better than Obama but can't get anything done due to continue fighting scandal.

SC gets very liberal.

Most of that is.... well, I disagree.

But here's a question: Why won't live streaming on the Internet totally disrupt this current conference model?

 

[07pilt]

To those of you worried about the SC going very liberal, won't a majority Republican senate prevent that?

 

[Bitter Creek]

I predict that the Libertarians will have some real traction as a result

 

[HighStickHarry]

Hillary will win and the elites will make sure this kind of fervor never happens again. They are one nationalist virgin away from losing their grip and they know it. Steps will be taken. No more hacked emails to shine light on the rats nest that is the media/dnc ever again either.

There will be zero consequences to the corrupt dems and the republicans will play their part as poor me social conservatives to raise money to preserve their lifestyles in Washington.

Color me jaded.

They are eunuchs and you know it. You would probably love to rub your ken doll on theirs anytime since they also believe 20 trillion dollars in debt is a good thing.

 

[07pilt]

Eunuchs that have blocked Merrick Garland for over 6months (one 8th of a presidential term) without batting an eye.
Only a lemming can be tricked into thinking that 20 trillion dollars in private sector savings is a bad thing.

 

[AC_Exotic]

take Actually I take back my earlier agreement.

This election isn't LBJ versus Goldwater.

There is no Goldwater in this race, other than like the Arizona Senator , Trump has huge unlikables to overcome.

The truth is, Trump is more like LBJ in that he's populist. Goldwater was a principled ideologue .

Hillary is Nikita Kruschev with slimy organized crime as her muscle .

There's a little difference between blocking an appointment of a justice for a few months with a Presidential election pending and a lame duck President, vs. staving off any appointments for 4 years, with at least one retirement sure to come in Ruth Bader-Ginsburg.

You don't think they could just Bork any nominee that is too liberal?

 

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

They'll put on a good show and may even put up a good fight against some wildly left wing judge, but she won't nominate anyone that isn't to the left of Breyer, possibly of anyone already on the court. Eventually she'll get at least two, and probably more new justices on the court.

 

[windriverrange]

I am going with Trump as well......think most of the polls are cooked, and the enthusiasm gap is exponentially in favor of Trump which spells a win.

Can't see the Senate flipping, nor the house. The republicans in congress will be on notice, people want some concrete accomplishments and if its not forthcoming, many of the sitting RINO's will be gone through the next election cycles.

We'll see. I think the Overton window has been moved by this Garland situation and the claim can be made that leaving a seat open until the appropriate justice can be agreed upon isn't a problem. We got by on 8, why not 7?

I agree that we could. I just think there will be enormous pressure form the media, and various hired legal spokespersons, and obviously some sectors of the public that the Senate will cave. they aren't that staunch now, they just figure they can get by with it for a few months.

It's too late. You already agreed.

Harry, you're crazy. You're reliably wrong at every turn. But kudos for at least turning a good phrase. I'd rather read crazy and wrong, but entertaining, prose than the same boring shit.

 

[JonnyVito]

I blame the vote of die campaign by MTV that made it cool for younger kids to vote. Hillary sweeps it and Trump throws a fit thus killing the Republican party.

You don't think trump would have won if it he had stuck to the policies of the silent majority and not had the pussy talk and ny times hit jobs with these made up women?

 

[HighStickHarry]

Look at the resources thrown at him as well as him shooting himself in the foot at every turn. How can anybody feel good about her winning. She has had to be drug across the finish line, had all scandal swept under the rug, be cleared by a corrupt this, corrupt department of justice and she is still within the margin of error. Any knight in shining armor could have beat her (not Ted Cruz or Jeb bush)

Those are unrealistic what-ifs. Those things were always coming.

 

[squeak]

Hillary wins.

Rs control both houses.

Hill gives republicans a long and profitable war, wins a second term, and drives us straight off a cliff due to no entitlement reform.

Or,

Hill dies before end of first term.

A third party candidate emerges, unites everyone, and wins in a landslide.

 

[AC_Exotic]

It's never too late. I've changed my mind on Trump 3 or 4 times.

The opposite is also true. A historically unpopular candidate. Coming off of a 2-term POTUS from the same party. And the GOP can't win? May even lose senate and house seats? That tells me:

1. Things aren't as bad as you guys let on; or

2. The GOP is just worse. They literally can't field a practical candidate.
