I'm not doing the math on that.

(35 + 15 + 13 + 12 + 8 + 5) + LOL + LOL = 100

88 + 2(LOL) = 100

2(LOL) = 12

LOL = 6%

the polls are so different.. I just saw one that has Bush at 17 and an hour before I saw one that had him at 7….

I guess my gut tells me Trump is not doing well and Bush insulting him left and right probably doesn't help… although you'd have to think he'll win even with less than 30%….and that the "Shaheen Machine" is going to get the vote out for Hillary and keep her loss within 10 points of Bernie… but thats about it…

Come on hutch…put your commas where your mouth is and make a prediction

I am waving my dick in the wind..

Trump 30
Kasich 21
Bush 17
Rubio 14
Cruz 9
Christie 7
Carson/Fiorina *


Sanderwitzky 54
Hillary 46

If Sanders goes into a highly contrarian, socialist-friendly state with no minorities and only manages to beat Hillary by 8%, his campaign goes from theoretically dead to actually dead.

wow Kasich holding on to #2
and bush nipping at cruz…I didn't predict that

but Hutch could be right with T->K->B

nobody ever got rich overestimating the intelligence of the American people…

So what does 22% mean?

It confirms there are no minorities in NH, that NH is in no way representative of the nation as a whole, and we need to have a national primary day as opposed to piecemeal-ing this out.

It means I was off by 14%….


The funny thing is I agree with Sanders in pretty much everything…..I just cannot believe that he would do anything but get creamed in a general election…unless the country has changed so much in 8 years….

Its weird its almost as if the democratic primary last night was won by a non-democrat and the republican primary was won by a non-republican.. as if the parties are failing to represent what the American people want…and outsiders are hijacking them..

If we look at US history since the constitutional convention we see very little in terms of "revolution" or dramatic changes (Jefferson? Jackson?)….this is why I find the idea that Sanders would be elected very unlikely…..Trump on the other hand doesn't want a revolution.. he just wants to be President….The latter is more likely than the former..

oh I don't know.. I mean I hear you.. its not as if he accomplished anything as Senator because he is that wacko socialist from Vermont… but lets say that Sanders could somehow win the presidency.. .that would mean something and would have impact I think… because what he stands for is so clear that it would be an American endorsement of his views and other politiicans would have to come around… there would be issues with the courts though at least in the short term… also if somebody could get elected in a dominating performance with socialist views presumably Senators and Representatives and Governors would also tap into that… so he would not be alone.. but, yeah, it would be a huge uphill battle…. he really would need a big mandate… add to that the fact he would be sworn in at 75! maybe he has good genes but in your late 70s you tend to slow down quite a bit…

I just think the above is all irrelevant because he would get creamed.. the American people are not socialists… a majority of them do not believe we should break up the 5 largest banks or in universal health care provided by the governemnt and higher taxes to pay for it etc etc..

I mean in a sense Sanders is the candidate of the 1% movement….and he's going to be President?

But ultimately it comes down to trying to understand where the American people are.. are they so shellshocked and pissed off after the great recession that they have become socialists? I find that hard to beleive… The progressive wing of the Democratic Party as socialists? Sure i can see that.. but the country I know is just not like that….

So I ran the numbers of what Hutch, Sidehatch and I predicted (way to puss out, other people) compared to what the candidates actually got.

In the end, I believe that I won the NH primary, with Hutch and Sidehatch valiantly fighting for second (last) place. On to South Carolina!

Sidehatch won the Democrat side because I didn't answer and Hutch might as well not have answered.

Oh, wait, you're making a competition out of this? Nate Silver and I are in for SC.

Look, I don't have a lot going on in my life right now, I take the victories I can take.

No snark intended. Making a competition out of it legitimately makes me want to participate and I just texted Nate and he feels the same. Also him and I are going to Gathering of the Juggalos together. (No homo.)
