2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)These are my primary season predictions: [View all]
Hillary will be trying to shore up her base, reaching out to all of her groups, and much of the Obama coalition. She will begin talks to find a VP early I believe, showing herself to be assertive and a leader. Might interview O'Malley who will drop out if he accepts. If they link up, there is no need to discuss Bernie any further because she has way more delegates than before. And her poll numbers are awesome for all her negatives.
O'malley will keep saying awesome things and get ignored by the news media who wants to focus on Ben Carson the crazy-liar and Trump the WTF and Marco Rubio's credit card late payments, like we give a damn about Rubio's credit cards.
Bernie will keep trying to figure out what is wrong, and continue listening to all of the wrong advice. His hard core supporters will be there, loud and excited, but not too much of a draw to democrats, or the Obama coalition. The excitement will wear off for some during the debate season. He has neither begun to shoot up in polls, nor has he been getting those delegates and super delegates. Endorsements either. Numbers will begin to fall off, which will drain more support.
We will be done early this time and have a candidate for the GD by my birthday in March.
