Who will win the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and why? Which party: Democrat or Republican? Which nominees are the most likely to win their party's nomination? How much will the gender or "race" of candidates influence the 2016 election?
I think there is a high chance Trump will win if Hillary makes the predictable mistake. This mistake would be calling those who support Trump idiots (she has almost done that already but not quite).I am from England and our politicians have made this mistake 3 times. Firstly it was the European elections saying that only idiots would vote for UKIP. The same thing happened in the next general election where UKIP got the a massive amount of votes (sadly only 1 seat in parliament because of how our system works). And then it happened with the Brexit vote as well.Through all these votes, those who supported UKIP or the leave campaign have been called every name imaginable- fruit cakes, lunatics, loonies, swivel-eyed idiots, racists, nazis, xenophobes etc etc.The only thing that insulting your voters does is to make them even more keen to vote for the other side. There were many people torn between voting Conservative or UKIP, however many would have voted UKIP eventually after being insulted by the people who are asking for your vote. “You are a complete imbecile, but I would really appreciate your vote, thank you”Our politicians did not learn from their mistake the first time it happened and they still haven’t learned. And now I can see Hillary doing the exact same thing. From what I have seen Trump insults a lot of people, but he tries to avoid insulting the electorate too much, even those who support Hillary. Hillary and the Democrats however seem to be attacking Trump supporters more often and it is only a matter of time before Hillary outright says what they are thinking- “all you guys who support Trump are redneck racist idiots” (actually I hear this a lot on Quora already)So overall insulting Trump voters is one way to make the undecided voters side with him. Undecided voters see themselves as partially supporting both candidates so it is a bad a idea to start calling them idiots if you want their vote.EDIT 11/03/2016: Looks like I was correct, doesn’t it!EDIT 11/09/2016: Looks like I was very correct indeed!
"Bill Clinton: George H.W. Bush will help President Hillary" Proof that the elites are buddies in private?
How "private" can it be if he's allowed quotes of the exchange? If this was all so nefarious, why wasn't that liberal, meddling, busybody reporter SILENCED for daring to print something unflattering to America's Number One Criminal Mastermind, Bill Clinton? As for your last question, anyone who is taken in by the rantings of a "blog". It WOULD be nice to have a viable third party, but the only reason to start one now, without any meaningful campaign finanace reform, is to just let more pigs feed at the corporate trough. Just a whole NOTHER set of rich, disconnected white men who have only one interest: Being part of what makes Washington, well, WASHINGTON: Fat pensions for doing nothing, a good ole boy system unparalleled in the rest of the world, a singleminded goal of eradicating ANY non-service job from the US. On a different level, is it really so unbelievable, a past President might actually ASSIST a soon-to-be (well, we'll see anyway) President? Even one of another Party? In the interests of the citizens of the US (I know, I would find this mighty hard to believe too, but who knows?)? So what youre cynicism is telling you is that Clinton and Bush Sr are in cahoots, but Bush Sr and Bush Jr AREN'T? Part of my constant and ever widening dismay with this President, is he has (or had) unprecedented access to the experience of more living Presidents, than any sitting President before him, not to mention one of those Presidents is his own FATHER. How many times have you heard stories about Bush Jr calling his dad to the White House over some security emergency or other? NONE? No one else has either. Let us not forget Bush Sr was Director of the CIA for MANY years, Vice President for 8, and Chief Executive for 4 (4 odd years, but at least we didn't the Supreme Court to determine what President Americans elected THAT election). Bush Sr (I know thats not his name I type it that way just for shorthand) also receives daily intel briefs from ALL US and Allied intel services, a prerogative of ALL past Presidents, but one so far only exercised by Bush Sr. As far as foreign intelligence gathering, there are few living individuals as experienced or as capable as our former President Bush. (Domestic policies sucked wind, but militarily and forieng relations wise, Bush Sr was da Bomb [how old am I?? lol])
