Well, it's almost here! I'm going to make my prediction -
Trump versus Budicheck. With Trump winning another 4 years.

Anybody else?

Trump winning? Why am I not surprised.

Much too early. I assume you mean Buttigieg. He has a tall mountain to climb to get the Democratic nomination. Most polls have him with less than 10%, Again, I think you are biased because YOU like Buttigieg.

There are reasons to believe Trump will win. There are reasons to believe Trump will lose. Both Republicans and Democrats have reasons to be confident at this point in time.

Based upon what I'm seeing, the only person that can oust Trump is Bernie Sanders since his voting base is the most inclusive and diverse out of all other candidates.

Bernie's time was 4 years ago. Not sure of he'll have the same pull and charisma like he did.

Yes that's who I meant. I can't say his name either - no wonder he goes by Mayor Pete!

I am PRAYING for a Beto/AOC ticket in 2020.

As if our elections meant jack shit!! Get rid of the electoral college, gerrymandering, and voter suppression then we can talk.

Groovy Johnson · 04-16-2019, 02:53 PM

Prior to the election,Trump was very much against the electoral college.
I heard no complaints after.

I have a Facebook friend who, prior to the 2016 election, posted a meme supporting doing away with the electoral college and moving to popular vote to determine the POTUS election winner. She was a die hard Trump supporter, possibly more so than Ellen . Soon after the election, when Trump won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote, she posted a meme totally supporting the electoral college and condemning those that were complaining about Trump's victory.

Seems like it all depends which side of the fence one is on.

I have read that one of Pete's primary objectives is to do away with the electoral college. Still support him?

Speedracer,

I know you're the numbers guy but I have a feeling it's gonna be Mayor Pete for the dems. Honestly, all the others are just noise to me. I have no numbers to back this up.
It's just a sense I have. Just my little ole prediction.And I might be wrong but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Ugh, now that song is stuck in my head..feelings..blah,blah..

We've both been wrong and we've both been right with our predictions. Time will tell.

Yea, let's get rid of the electoral college so New York, Las Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco will decide who all our future presidents will be.

I think it will be Trump vs Biden and will be too close to call. The main-stream Democrat has not gone so far left to nominate a Socialist yet. Bernie gets his support mostly from the kids that haven't yet experienced much of earning a living. But, most Democrats have and I believe they will chose a moderate like Biden (if he runs). With Biden, Bernie's fans will suck it in and vote a straight ticket, just to get Trump out. But, if they cheat Bernie, as they did with Hilary's Super Delegates, his base will stay home and Trump will win.

Sarcasm lol.

For those that dont know, AOC is too young to be a Presidential candidate and, I believe she'll be disqualified as a VP.

Low-T, couldn't have said it better. In fact, I've been saying that almost word-for-word in any discussion on the 2020 election.

And you brought up the Super Delegates which I believe is such a sham -- one person, one vote. Didn't work very well in 2016.

Trump has already started his negative attacks on Biden, calling him a "low I.Q. individual" and "weak". Hopefully Biden and the other Democratic contenders take the high ground.
