Trump Rally needs to be a new genre of something

So really missed Relaxer in this, but glad to see jules throw his hat in the predictions game
(do they make a Fantasy Primary game??)

trump    32.5     31 -1.5
Rubio      22.5     21 -1.5
Cruz      22.3     20 -2.3

rubio     [glow=Green,2,300]23[/glow] -.5
Cruz     15   -7.3!
Bush     [glow=red,2,300]8[/glow] -.2
Kasich   [glow=red,2,300]10[/glow]-2.4
Carson   8     -.8

Rubio      22.5     [glow=red,2,300]19[/glow]
Cruz      22.3       [glow=Green,2,300] 24[/glow]

Carson    7.2       4


[glow=green,2,300]green[/glow] closest to percentage
[glow=red,2,300]red[/glow] - incorrect placement
Hutch's cruz was closest %, but was incorrect in place

So Jules got the placement 1-6 right
I'm not sure how you could weight this correctly as Jules only picked carson % wise
getting 1,2&3 place should have the most weight first
but I was super close with a .6 percent off (man I originally had cruz at 20!)

Julian had the best pick in SC by far…picking Rubio to eke out Cruz was huge…..

in NV both Julian and I were arguably correct but he was more precise so he wins that too..

I have a lot of trouble with Cruz… he gives me nightmares… I consistently get him wrong and here I overcompensated.. before I was giving him not enough now too much..

Nevada (R) will be interesting because we really don't have very much polling to go on here..


I actually thought Julian's prediction was the best one I saw…I don't think any poll or pundit was as correct…I hate to say that but like ITS TRUE ITS TRUE YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

for the dems…it was close and I'm not even going to post my pathetic predictions

    NV    Hutch    jules
H  52.6  53      [glow=green,2,300]52.5[/glow]
S  47.3    47        [glow=Green,2,300]47.5[/glow]

So jules takes it in a similar fashion to Denny Hamlin edging out Martin Truex Jr.

I know, I'm disappointed that I couldn't get it together enough to make and post my predictions.

I think he takes it on a technicality as 53 is 52.6 rounded up and 47 is 47.3 rounded down.. those were my exact numbers by the way… of course..

relaxer, get your shit together.. not just the numbers either..you got to bring the comedy gold!

Don't worry relaxer…there are lots of contests coming up
I think we should put some money down for super Tuesday!

But seriously…is there a Fanduel for primaries
That'd be the kind of thing I could get in to

^Awesome one minute video highlighting why Jeb had the funniest moments of the election, so far

So if Trump wins in November, will Obama declare himself president for life?

don't really get the joke, but there is nothing in the constitution that Obama can't declare anything
well, maybe not FIRE during a SOTU

I love that picture of Bernie. He looks like a dude who's checkin left, checkin right, and then quickly rubbing one out in this small window of opportunity.

Are we all in agreement the GOP race is Rubio v Trump at this point? There's really no delegate math getting Cruz to 50% and he's so massively unliked by his colleagues he couldn't win in a contested convention. His biggest impact on the race is how long until he gets out of it: the longer he goes, the better for Trump; the sooner its a two-man race, the better for Rubio.

I would agree that it will likely come down to Rubio and Trump. I know before Saturday, some people had Kasich possibly emerging as the voice of GOP reason, but his dismal showing this weekend is slotting him firmly in VP-at-best territory.

I'm noting a tone shift in the coverage on Trump. It seems like all articles are devoting a full paragraph or more on the fact that if any other GOP candidate was doing as well as Trump, that candidate would be called the 'prohibitive favorite' but because it's Trump, it feels weird to say that.

If he doesn't have a second place finish in NH to his name, he's out of this race officially by now, I'd imagine.

I don't think he's the prohibitive favorite. I think it'll be Rubio. If Cruz stays in this the entire way, no one gets to the delegate count they need and it's probably Rubio at the convention because party insiders aren't going to sway voters to Trump/Cruz. If Cruz gets out fairly soon, I think it's Rubio because Trump vs. only-one-non-Trump-option doesn't favor Trump. Trump seems to have a ceiling.

I guess I'm interested in if anyone actually sees a hypothetical contested convention going to anyone but Rubio.

Trump has said that if he's booted in a contested convention, he'd run as independent.  Which works for me, since he'd split the republican vote, and either H or S would win.  And the liberal supreme court. And the American people.

nice and couldn't agree more…that's been my hope since Trump showed up day one
He certainty could pull a lot of people to vote for him as a 3rd party, but not enough to win

Hey, a wackadoo 3rd party candidate helped us get a Clinton in office the first time; why mess with success?
