Maybe we should just elect Trump president

Gotta play to win
look we all know Relaxer is the resident pundit….  not only for his predictive capabilities but also his rollicking take on debates..
"pundit" sounds like a description of a short person

And I am FIVE FOOT NINE ALMOST thank you very much

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!




I'm not sure about this way of measuring who did better.. I just got to say that…after all the biggest takeaways have to be:

1. Trump wins (dominant)
2. Kasich in second
3. Bush rejuvenated
4. Strong Cruz
5. Rubio wilts
6. Christie OUT
7. Carson/Fiorina pretty much done

so you'd have to look at the numbers, ordering, etc

just doing difference from what you picked for final number is a little too simple because the real important conclusions get lost in there.. does that make sense?

I would say that of the 7 I did this way
1. yes/no  half credit?
2. yes
3. yes
4. no
5. yes
6. yes
7. yes
Yeah, statistics and math are… not my friend. I went for the easiest way possible. Maybe for SC we should all measure our dongs and go with that.

I just texted this idea to Nate and he wants to know whether this is homo or no homo.
so homo
no no.. we can keep going like this.. unless julian has a better idea..

We, are, in
The Nightly Show has been on top of their game lately.  The other night they showed the two Rudio  ads airing on Iowa and New Hampshire which use the same script except with different people saying the lines.  Dude is p lagiarizing himself..

"as is"?  it's exactly what's happening.

I mean, I like being snarky and telling you all when you're being idiots for being hyper-reactionary to things and ignore hundreds of year of electoral precedent but there's no way to turn that into a competition so I say we go with Relaxer's penis thing.

well I think so too..
I still think a Bush-Hillary election might be the most likely outcome….

At this point on the Republican side I think Trump, Cruz and Bush are the best positioned….

I agree

This is me, by the way

If we're talking about penis measurement only, I'm sure we can all agree that Carson would have it in the bag. The Latinos would be dead last, unless somebody could convince an Asian to run.

I've also always wondered why a reasonably handsome neurosurgeon couldn't bag a hotter wife.

a win's a win! and I'd like to thank the little people…but also Nate silver and RCP for some guidance on where to go

Man, don't know what I was thinking giving Rubio 25…I think originally I had him at 15, but didn't suspect Kasich would come in so strong.

I do think Hutch does get some credit for picking 1,2 and 3
Not sure how to weight that vs the way Relaxer did

too bad Jindal dropped out, might have helped your post have a little more arc
