Can I plagiarize that please. Cracked me up. I tried to rep you but the nannies said I have to give reps elsewhere first.


But you have to give this guy some credit for being a revers Nostradamus....I bet he predicted a market crash too. I bet if we follow his predictions and do the opposite, we can get Trump rich. OP. please update us on your stock market and football game predictions

The reverse Nostradamus? That would be Sumadartson.
Perhaps he could change his username?

But given that it's pretty clear that he isn't dropping out, he'll win some electors.

And some will refuse to vote for him.

Only a small percentage of electors break ranks and do not support the candidate to which they are pledged.

2004 - A John Kerry elector instead cast their Presidential vote for John Edwards.
2000 - An Al Gore elector turned in a blank ballot, voting for no one.
1988 - A Michael Dukakis elector instead cast their Presidential vote for Lloyd Bentsen.
1976 - A Gerald Ford elector instead cast their Presidential vote for Ronald Reagan.
1972 - A Richard Nixon elector instead cast their Presidential vote for the Libertarian Party candidate.

So this happens once or twice a decade, out of more than 1000 Electoral College votes cast every ten years.

Back to my prediction:
This year, there were be multiple Trump electors who vote for someone else. Pence. Cruz. Johnson. McMullin. Others.






What were you saying now?

You were half right, but those multiple electors voted for someone else INSTEAD of Hillary.

If he had any psychic abilities they would have told him not to start a thread like this one.
