Official Election Predictions!

Trump could easily win. He could easily lose, too.

It's also feasible that the pair of them could get Covid-19.

Sure would feel normal, given the 2020 track record. Heck...maybe they'll both bow out, and their VPs (both named Karen) could battle it out, in a cage match!

I’d sign up for cable for that.

If either quits, and their successor times it right, they could easily be elected.

Neither candidate is loved. And a lot of people would love a better choice.

Of course they must be a black female.

Who doesn't want to see Oprah vs Condoleezza Rice?

I think Condi Rice would be an excellent President.

89th · 31 Jul 2020, 17:48

Quite frankly, a fantastic VP, too. She wouldn't sign on with Trump, though. Maybe in 2024?

I’d vote for Condi in 2024

@89th she has zero interest - because she's sane.

As I'm sure we all know, she's also an excellent pianist.

jon-nyc · wrote on 31 Jul 2020, 18:03

I know, I see her at the meetings.

Oh. And I told Klaus so he would know too.

Alright, so far my election prediction is on track... Now let's see if Trump dumps Pence for Haley.

It could happen.

Harris presents as many minuses as plusses. But I’m not sure anyone else wouldn’t in this toxic environment.

NOOOO!
Drop Pence for that South Dakota governor.
Trump walks slow, she would help him walk more erect.

Jon would tap that.

So would I.

You know I thought this was crazy sounding when you first mentioned it.

Now I can actually picture it. I still don’t think it will happen, but I think Trump really likes doing the unexpected thing that wins news cycles.

If it happens at all, it’ll be on the eve of the Democratic convention.

For Nikki to happen you have to overcome two obstacles:

How does this help vs. hurt her future odds?
Does Trump’s base come out to vote?

Would be an amazing spectacle but you only throw all caution to the wind when you think you are out and can somehow convince Nikki this helps her even in loss.

jon-nyc · wrote on 12 Aug 2020, 03:40

Maybe you only throw caution to the wind under such circumstances, but we’re talking about Trump here.

And it sure would be a spectacle. Which is why it’s just about plausible.

Mik · 12 Aug 2020, 11:32

As much as I would love to see her in the Oval Office, I don’t think that can happen until 2024. She is not going to reattach herself to Trump.

89th · 12 Aug 2020, 04:39

My Haley prediction is purely a wild guess under the idea that:

Trump wants to “win back” any female voters now inspired by the selection of Harris
Trump can kinda blame Pence for managing the coronavirus response

I have no idea if Nikki is even interested. Would be fun to have two Indian Americans (dot not feather) debating each other.

If only. Imagine that same fun in 2024 when they both compete for the Oval Office.

Will the USA ever get to point in history when two major parties nominate candidates of Indian descent?
