      Re: Presidential Election Prediction Thread

      Based on new information, I'm changing my prediction.

      I'm flipping FL from Trump to Clinton.

      Clinton 288 Trump 250.












      In answer to a television interview question, President Obama apparently said, "Illegal aliens don't have to worry about deportation if they vote....voter registration information is not shared with ICE."

      I've seen the Democrat "ground game" in action in person....FL will have a surprisingly large plurality.

      Oh well, so it goes.

          That was one of the key distinctions between a democracy and a republic: having Senators selected by state legislatures was by deliberate design, it anticipated the 10th Amendment.

          Notably, it was the Progressives who did away with that rule. Coincidentally, the Progressive in charge at that time actually did write that it was okay deliberately to deceive the people in pursuit of a noble cause, because the people aren't all that bright and lack the capacity to understand subtle distinctions.

          The Founders wanted it to be really hard for one faction to gain control. Again notably, it seems like one faction is deliberately doing its best to subvert that purpose, all in pursuit of a noble cause. and of course, in order to implement that noble cause, one has to be in office, and so ....

It seems to me LePage (ME governor) did much better in the actual voting than the polls leading up to the election and in a lot of ways those elections were similar to this years presidential election. He is similar to Trump and ran against very flawed democrats. They were flawed in different ways than Clinton but flawed nonetheless.

                            There is a difference between what one expects and what one wants. If the weather forecast says cold and rainy, I am going to bring a windbreaker and umbrella, even if I'd rather have warm and sunny.


                            D*mn, I wish I had not chickened out in my original prediction. WI, MI, OH, PA, FL[oops]. 279-259 was actually on the low side.
