More than half the country didn't vote for George W. Bush, and at this point in his presidency he was polling in the 60s.  |

He was stupid, not deranged, authoritarian and incompetent. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I disagree with your implication that Trump is not also stupid. |

Apples and oranges. Trump has polarized the electorate, it took Bush 6 years before the they hated him as much as Trump is hated now. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Indeed. It seems unlikely if he ever stays above 50. Like it makes any difference, he got elected with the lowest poll numbers in history. Obama started in the 60's and dropped to the 40's for the majority of his presidency. He had whole years in the low to mid 40's. Big deal. http://www.gallup.com/poll/116479/barack-obama-presidential-job-approval.aspx If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

"It'll be way over 60 very soon, Trump is hitting on all cylinders." Seems you are less accurate in your predictions than poll surveys. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

I got the election predictions correct, I can't be right all the time. I got the nomination prediction right. At least I'm not wrong about everything like some here. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What you fail to realize is that Donald won narrowly (it was no landslide as you often pretend). ~80,000 votes in three states (MI, WI, PA) made the difference. If his numbers go any lower (and if the Dems have a candidate who the FBI can't sabotage in favor of Donald), it would be hard for him to win those states again. If his first month is any indication, Donald won't be winning over any more fans. But 2020 is a long ways away.

Here's what you don't understand on a fundamental level. Bob--predictions are made before an event happens. They aren't right or wrong. They're just predictions. So don't pat yourself on the back for having been "right," and don't beat yourself up for being "wrong." Talk is cheap. And nobody is "wrong about everything." In fact, saying that Trump would win was a fairly dumb prediction. Dumb predictions do, in fact, come to pass occasionally. That doesn't actually mean they were any less dumb. |
