Who Do You Think Will Be Elected President Of The United States In 2016?

[rockhopper penguin 2,265]

 

A recent New Mexico poll has Clinton at 35%, Trump at 31% ... and Gary Johnson at 24%! ..... and Johnson wins New Mexico,....................

Another excellent analysis thank you. I do have to take issue though with the above. A bit of a stretch I fear.

Mike Pence. If Trump wins (which he probably will), I'll give him 6 months...

FTFY

MSC, 1-2% to 5-7% was it?

 

+/-3% variance could mean steady at 4%. Or 3.

 

 

Pinch of salt with the Clinton biased media.

 

I really think DJ could scoot this after the last debate. Her advert spending power v wikileaks dumps/average brain power of a ham.

Close.....

[CoffinLodger 1,248]

Hillary can't lose as far as I can tell !

Aye, or the other way up to near 10%. (As Ed Miliband found out...)

 

Key thing to remember is US polls, iirc, have a long history of being shite.

[Paul Bearer 6,099]

I wonder if the yanks realise there is a third option. The presidential debates just seem to be a mud slinging exercise.

Well I know of a wummin that stuck €500,000 to win €180,000 this week.

It isn't a straight "first to 51%" , do in many ways its shite.

I thought the whole "Hillary's dying" thing was a bit of an own goal. Instead of it being "vote for Donald, she's ill", it sort of reads as "why vote for the lesser of two evils - vote Hilary, she's going to die anyway, then you can get someone else..."

 

Even their third party candidates are shit though.

There is no third option. Gary Johnson doesn't even know what Aleppo is and Jill Stein's platform was obviously conceived in some alternate reality. This idea that a third (or fourth) party can establish itself in the presidential race without working its way up from local politics is absurd.

 

This election is really pretty tame, considering. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson accused John Adams of having a "hideous hermaphroditical character" while Adams accused Jefferson of "...a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father." In 1824, accusations of cannibalism flew around and the election had no majority winner - although Jackson won the plurality - and the House of Representatives had to decide it, in what is now called the Corrupt Bargain, which put Adams into the White House in exchange for making Henry Clay the Secretary of State. In 1828, John Quincy Adams was a pimp, Andrew Jackson's wife was a slut and a bigamist and his mother was a prostitute - according to each opposition. Jackson won this time and subsequently caused the annihilation of thousands of American Indians through his relocation policies. He did have an excellently handsome Minister to France, though - William Cabell Rives.

 

 

I teach American history scandal by scandal. My tutorees remember it well.

[YoungWillz 21,014]

Any dirt on Martin van Buren or William Henry Harrison?

[msc 18,421]

Hmm, many years ago I read the autobiography of Marian Gouveneur, the daughter in law of the son in law of James Monroe... as you do. From memory, Van Buren was seen in those circles as an irrelevant idiot with a high opinion of himself who nobody liked.

 

As for Harrison, all I know about him is that he won election based on his ability to kill Native Americans, and then, after insisting on giving his entire inauguration speech out in the pissing rain while suffering from a cold, took pneumonia and died. Oh, and every US President elected in a year ending with "0" are meant to be cursed because of his whole killing the Natives thing.

And it's always been classy.

 

 

Veep Rockefeller giving it tight to some of the crowd 40 years ago, whilst Dole chortles away....

 

 

[msc 18,421]

Aye, and we all know what happened to Rockefeller. Went with a bang.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

When the time finally comes, I'm going to miss Barack Obama because he was actually a good president, where as the two nominated this time, which ever one wins, they'll both be shit.

There is no third option. Gary Johnson doesn't even know what Aleppo is

I saw that clip whilst in US last week - it is very funny but I bet George W Bush would probably have struggled to answer the same question.

 

I think the question is phrased 'What would you do about Aleppo?' and I'm sure he is sitting there thinking 'a leppo, wtf is a leppo'

 

I go about every 6 months to US. 6 months ago everyone I spoke to was just embarrassed about the portrayal of their country on the world stage caused by these two being the candidates. Last week quite a lot of people were getting angry.

[YoungWillz 21,014]

Everyone knows despite their personalities that these two main candidates can be summed up as follows.

 

Hillary is a safe pair of hands.

 

Donald is a tiny fingered, pussy grabbing, press the nuclear button pair of hands.

[Spade_Cooley 9,513]

Never been more sure of anything than Hillary being a one-termer though. Unless the Republicans put up, idk, Casey Anthony as their candidate in 2020.

[Bibliogryphon 9,565]

But I think she will be one term by choice she could easily cite ill health and possibly annoint her successor. Kaine?

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Trump has one last chance for a comeback. He's probably going to fail.

[rockhopper penguin 2,265]

Has Trump really got any more plays to make? The drug test was an act of desperation (he'll have paternity suits coming at him until xmas if he continues). Biggest issue is stay aways. People who would feel sick hanging their chad for her, might just think they can avoid the nausea now.

[Toast 16,124]

Bruce Springsteen has just been on Channel 4 News and he described Trump as a "flagrant toxic narcissist" among other things.

Would be ironic if that turns out to be the title of his next album.
