You thought Mitt would win in 2012. You didn’t think Trump would win in 2016. You thought the GOP would hold the house by 15+ seats in 2018. Take a seat. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

And when he didn't, I never mentioned it again. I didn't whine for years afterward. And yes, I most definitely said Trump would win. That's why you said things like: Quote: ams288 And yet we are going to spend the next 6 months having to listen to the media (and righties on these boards) pretend that Trump actually has a chance Why would you say that before the election if I wasn't saying Trump would win. Gotcha.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I was referring to the nuked troll JohnCena. You still can’t find any posts from the 2016 election where you said he’d win. Gotcha. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

My bad, I linked to the wrong quote. Why would I melt down on election night if I wasn't a big Trump supporter and thought Hillary would win. You would never' say this unless you knew I supported Trump: Quote: ams288 I'm looking forward to EvenBob's inevitable election night meltdown. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Uh... of course I knew you supported him. Once again, supporting someone doesn’t equal thinking they’ll actually win. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | It seems like one VP, four governors or ex-governors, nine senators, and some odd assortment I am leaving off congressmen.
It differs from the Republican presidential primary of 2016 largely by the number of governors and ex-governors running
This was the largest presidential primary field for any political party in American history. |

So again, if I didn't think he would win, and thought Hillary would win, why would I melt down on election night. I thought he would win and you knew I thought it. Quit trying to change the past. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Historically Dems have liked Senators and the GOP governors. It follows as Dems like to talk while GOP voters prefer results. In the Senate you can talk and talk but rarely take a position. Obama and Hillary made carers of doing just that. Obama voted "present" often, and Hillary had so many positions over the years even she could not remember them all. Modern tech means we will probably have larger fields the rest of our lives. Old way was you networked and tapped a smaller field of larger money. This got honed and honed until 2000 when we had each side basically anoint one person and let a couple others in just for appearance. But the "other" never had a chance. Today a candidate has many more ways to get exposure and money to make some kind of go of it. Expect the Dem primary to be a bunch of talk of who is "more minority," who hates Trump more, and who can have the most socialist giveaways. Promises of "free college" and "free health care" might be just the beginning. With "the rich" paying for it all of course. The President is a fink. |

Ah, I don’t know.... maybe because I thought HILLARY WAS GONNA BE PRESIDENT and you hate her with a fiery passion? I thought that was gonna trigger a melt down. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4178 | Summary... Like most political prognosticators, both EB and ams have made their share of mistakes in recent predictions. Me too. I remember thinking no way the US elects a black man with little traditional Presidential 'credentials' when Obama first ran. I also remember thinking no way the US elects a guy like Trump with all his baggage. That being said, I'm still trying to find someone who will let me take whatever Democrat is nominated over Trump in a bet for 2020. The more I think about it, I think Beto gives the Dems Texas, and that would be game over this cycle.... |
