2016 Election Prediction Thread

[Sarah G]

I find it really doubtful that Warren will run.

The Democrats really need to get away from the idea/belief of Republicans fumbling the election with conservatives not supporting some candidate or the GOP putting up someone way too far right to win. The Democrats have REALLY popular policy ideas that voters downright love sometimes, in others they certainly have majority support. I really think they just need to focus on winning on their own accord and stop pointing negative fingers at the GOP all the time.

They've tried to stay above it before, Kerry as an example. They do need to get the message out but they also have to fight the negative ads that the wingnuts inevitably go with.

And then it became apparent that more people liked Palin than liked McCain.
Oops.
You really get your gay ass handed to you every time, dontcha?

Palin is a big part of the reason why McCain lost to President Obama by 7.26% in 2008.

Poll after poll after poll showed that once here true stupidity was revealed, far more than 2/3 of most polling respondents did not want to have her as VP, fearing what damage she could do were McCain to croak in office.

Enjoy your weird fantasies, sheygetz.

McCain lost because of McCain. You suck at political analysis.

Actually, no. You are way out of your league, here, and have no idea how much data flowed that showed that Palin sunk and already damaged ship.

You are right, McCain was campaigning in grocery stores when Palin came along and gave him a slight bump. Crowds were nowhere near Obama's but she did okay until she started doing interviews. People began to think about McCain's age and her being first in line of succession and attitudes toward her changed in a big hurry.

The press labeled her as an idiot. Once the meme started that was it.

Because she is an idiot. Running for VP, she asks, what does a VP do?

If Hillary ends up not running, who have the Dems got? Joe BIden? Warren has the "star power" the Dems love. It's the first female president, hate on wall street, class warfare bullshit all rolled into one.

What difference does it make? At this point in the election cycle, most voters never heard of Barack Obama.

Ummm, yeah, pretty much...

Also background checks, raising the minimum wage, gay rights, and immigration reform are also things that have majority support with the public, sometimes a very good majority.

Take that up with Joe and Statistheilhitler. They both claim Obama was a lock by this point.

Thats why Dems running on those things got slaughtered in November, right?

[Statistikhengst]

Our fake Rabbi has a deep-seated need for any kind of confirmation he can get. Lots of bullshit, little fact.

I am going to give the fake Rabbi one last chance to rethink this stuff about Palin not having sunk McCain's boat in 2008.

And then, later, when my daughter is soundly snoozing, I will hand him his ass with data until his eyes bulge out.

The press labeled her as an idiot. Once the meme started that was it.
Granted, Palin doesnt interview well but the level of vehemence against her was unprecedented.
But ultimately, as always, it is the candidate who carries the election. Bush won with Quayle on his ticket, Nixon won with Agnew. McCain lost because of McCain.

It's not she didn't interview well. It's that her knowledge base, a base of things to know that are absolutely essential for any pol running for high office, had more holes than swiss cheese. A Republican Vice-Presidential candidate who had know idea what the "Bush Doctrine" was, when even the sitting President of her own Party clearly enumerated it and there was considerable press buzz about it? Please, that is absolutely bottom of the barrel.

Remind me how Obama got grilled on foreign policy in 2008. Yeah, he didnt.

He did interviews with O'Reilly twice, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baer.

He did no interviews with MSNBC.

So who failed to ask him about foreign policy?

That's true. I guess it's impossible to avoid negative ads altogether. In the GOP's case literally ALL they have is negative ads. The party itself is so divided they can't come to any cohesive agreement on anything besides "Stop Obama's agenda" which itself is pretty much just a negative ad.

I would just amp up getting their own message/agenda out to the public more then they have in the last few elections.

I agree. The press was complicit in covering up his incompetence and painting him into the SuperNegro.

Obama was even asked by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show about his complete lack of foreign policy experience.

Obama gave his stock answer. "You'll have to trust my judgment."

Neither party has a lock on negative ads.
