I honestly think Republicans can win with the RIGHT candidate. Donald Trump isn't a winner. Nutballs like Huckabee and Santorum aren't winners (not that Santorum had much of a chance to begin with) Ted Cruz isn't a winner (too polarizing).

Carly is eh, annoying. If she gets the nomination, its because she is a woman, and for no other reason. I like Ben Carson, he has been growing on me a lot lately, but if he gets the nomination, it'll be because he is a nice black man, not because he really has the chops to be president.

Donald Trump is eh, he is kind of a weird fake Republican. I don't believe he is a Christian(or he is no more a Christian than Obama). He comes off a bit disingenuous on several issues, such as healthcare, guns, abortion, among other things.

To be honest, the only reason Trump is relevant, is because he wants to "build the wall", and because most conservatives literally despise Washington D.C., and they will take pretty much anything that isn't "the status quo", and "political correctness".


I think Marco Rubio will end up getting the nomination. BecauseI think an establishment candidate will ultimately get the nod, and Rubio seems to stand the best chance in a national election.


As for the Democrats, you have Hillary the liar, and Bilderberg power-couple alongside Bill Clinton, and all their corporate cronies. And then Bernie "The Socialist" Sanders. Just looking at the lineup, this country feels like it has gone absolutely insane. And it is going insane in nearly exactly opposite directions.


And I love every minute of it.
Im not going to address these idiotic reflections. EXCEPT, where the Hell is it a law that POTUS has to be Christian???????????

Obama has not been exceptional in any way. He's done some good, I'll give you that, but he's really destroyed the image of the US (as Bush did, though in other ways) and failed in foreign policy. He appeased our enemies and abandoned our allies. That's not leadership, it's failure.

As for these prediction models, I don't take them seriously. They said that Mitt was gonna win 3 years ago. Instead, we got a second term of Obama. Not only that, but the Republicans are really in disarray, and while the Democrats are running some weak candidates, the debate the other night showed that their party is far more united, and Hillary is the strongest candidate running out of either party currently. The only Republican that might have a chance is Donald Trump. Carly's comments about Islam and her failure in 2010 for the senate---and before that as CEO of HP--have hurt her. Jeb! has no chance, to tbh, neither does Carson. Both are lacking in energy. Rubio is establishment. He's young and nice looking and Hispanic, but he's too wishy washy regarding immigration, which is a huge (yuge?) issue with the GOP nowadays. And many perceive him to be too inexperienced.

It's gonna end up being Hillary vs. The Donald in my opinion, with Hillary emerging as the victor.

History has shown your "guess" to be wrong.

Why do we even bother voting if a computer can do this all for us.

Yeah, pretty much. I would not be at all surprised to see Rubio come out on top. He is acceptable to the power brokers, looks good on TV and hasn't said or done much that critics can bash him for. All the others seem to have fatal flaws.

Rubio, along with the rest of the career politicians, is on the record as supporting amnesty.

No thanks!

I don`t want an open border and a $5.00 per hour job.

You don't need a computer to tell you which political party is going to win the Whitehouse in 2016, after 8 years of the Obama nightmare.

"Computer Predicts"

That would've been a good headline back in the 80's when we all thought computers were magic. Guess it still works for ignorant old people with an 80's vintage understanding of computers.

I'm gonna go put a bra on my head, do a little computer-magic, and conjure me up a hot British chick with poofy 80's hair.
