Chris Christie will not be GOP nominee: Nate Silver

[Peacetrain]

Scott Walker would make George Bush look like a saint... I do not care who the Democrats run.. they will be 1,000 % better than Scott Walker..

Nate Silver, author of The Signal and the Noise and editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight is 78% sure Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party candidate, despite the fact that she has yet to even announce she's running. "She’s as sure as any non-incumbents ever been," he says. He puts Senator Elizabeth Warren in at 7% odds and Vice President Joe Biden in at 4%.

Top White House official and campaign veteran Mandy Grunwald, left the White House this week to work for Ready for Hillary Super PAC further fueling rumors that Clinton is joining the race.

Potential Republican candidates find a much more crowded pool with a large number of Senators, Governors and Congressmen already vying for the top spot. While the odds are ever changing, Silver puts Florida Governor Jeb Bush in a tie for front-runner with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. He believes they each have a 25% chance of winning the nomination.

13. Nothing worse than an over-confident authoritarian.

[Half-Century Man]

2. Truth in advertising laws should force Scotty to change his name to

ALEC Walker.

Hope the John Doe investigations sink this turd.

3. Nominating HRC would guarantee a Republican president in 2017.

5. Any real evidence of that, or is this just more useless DU pontification?

Young Voters Plan to Vote in 2016 and most back HIllary Clinton

<Young Democrats across all demographics pick Clinton to be the party’s next nominee, according to the survey. More than half — 57 percent — of the Democrats surveyed prefer Clinton, compared with 10 percent who choose Vice President Joe Biden and another 10 percent who want Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. At 19 percent, a large chunk are still undecided.

More than three-quarters millennials say they are at least “very likely” to vote in the 2016 presidential election, a level of enthusiasm that has the potential to dwarf previous turnouts from young people in past elections.

In all, 77 percent 18 to 34-year-olds are “absolutely certain” or “very likely” to vote in 2016, according to the survey. Another 14 percent said they will “possibly” vote, bringing the total up to 91 percent. Just 8 percent say they are not likely to vote, while 1 percent is undecided.>

7. HRC was a "Goldwater Girl" the definition of Republican.

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. But, she wasn't in late 40's when she made the switch like someone else who shall remain nameless.

20. Warren: "Destroying ISIS should be 'No. 1 priority' "

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday said that the Obama administration should make defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) its top priority.

"ISIS is growing in strength. It has money, it has organization, it has the capacity to inflict real damage. So when we think about a response we have to think about how to destroy that," Warren told Yahoo's Katie Couric.
Warren agreed that "time is of the essence."

"We need to be working now, full-speed ahead, with other countries, to destroy ISIS. That should be our No. 1 priority," she said in a wide-ranging interview promoting her latest book, A Fighting Chance.

"The terrorists have moved, and we have to move in response," she said, adding part of that "means we're going to have to change in fundamental ways how we monitor our citizens when they go abroad."

Sounds kinda hawkish to me, but she was damn near 50 before she jumped off the Republican bandwagon, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising. This is probably why she has already endorsed Hillary.

9. Elizabeth Warren is almost as old as Hillary and was a Republican for decades longer than her.

Yet I love them both.

[blkmusclmachine]

15. The Party has been shoved so far to the right, only has-been Repukes are viewed as electable.

[quaker bill]

16. Actually not

It only assures a republican president in 2021. But then pretty much any Dem winning in 2016 assures a republican win in 2020. It is just how this stuff works.

Hillary will get a term if she wants one.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. I dont think that's true.

I'd like to see her actually lead instead of adopt an endless series of "safe", poll-tested campaign positions, but I do think she has the possibility of being a very strong, electable candidate.

[Tarheel_Dem]

4. I predicted the same thing the other day. Thanks for the confirmation Nate.

[onehandle]

6. Not going to be Walker. Never was going to be Christie. Was always going to be Hillary.

Nobody can beat her.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. I guess Jeb bush will be finding all things

[MFM008]

12. I will support the democrat nominee

Hillary, Biden, whoever is it. period.

[Vic Tree]

14. Rick Scott Walker Texas Ranger

In other words, a Huckabee-Norris ticket.

[McCamy Taylor]

17. Duh.

[bigdarryl]

21. The headline is a little misleading Silver did not say

Christie will not be the nominee he just gives him a 5% Chance right now.Anything can happen with the GOP clown car but I live in NJ and even New Jersey residents don't want to see him run he's only got a 38% approval rating the only ones proping him up is the media
