COULD THIS COMPUTER BE RIGHT? Do you put much store in this type of prediction?
WHICH CANDIDATES WOULD YOU TAKE OFF THAT STAGE?

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

“Reuters built a computer model…” I’m sure there motivations are pure and they aren’t trying to lull the bitter clingers to sleep. As for these computer models, they are so accurate predicting the weather. NOT. “Garbage in, garbage out.” And by “garbage”, I mean the millions and millions of illegals and democrat voter fraud.

All I know is that when I first joined the Navy, on any large base you could go to the Disbursing Office (pay office) and find dozens of little old ladies in tennis shoes filing, figuring, changing, copying, correcting, and storing military and civilian pay records, travel vouchers, per diem authorizations, fines, promotions, allotments, and on and on and on..
Then sometime around the late 60s, gobs and gobs of money were spent on computers and systems and operators and technicians to do what the little old ladies had always done. Allegedly it would streamline, improve, and simplify pay accounting procedures while saving all the salaries of those little old ladies in tennis shoes.
Today you go to a modern military pay center and you find desktop computer terminals with dozens of little old ladies in tennis shoes sitting there filing, figuring, changing, copying, correcting, and storing military and civilian pay records, and they STILL screw it up sometimes, and you can’t get NOTHIN done when the system crashes.
And just FYI, I have it on good authority that the DNC has announced that Hillary has won the second Dem debate as well as the first one.
Somehow my wife and I managed to produce and raise 4 children, buy a house, pay it off, go through a dozen or more automobiles and at least 10 dogs and half a dozen cats . . . all without a computer, a cell fone, a blackberry, and much of the time without more than two or three channels on our TV.
Heck, we even lived in several houses where there was no air conditioning, and in one place the electricity went off each night around 2200. And we had a helluva lotta fun and would dearly love to go back and do it all again, same way, same places, same deprivations.
So there!

I am hoping for republicans to own it all. Not sure who I would take off, I just want to leave who could win an I always believed that was Carson and/or I do believe Trump. I like Cruz but I think he is too….something
I always like Huckabee but he gets too much bad press as do some of the others. The left likes Rand Paul so that is why I wouldn’t want him as the candidate
whoever the left despises is the one, since they are their biggest threat. That’s what it comes down to unfortunately

The reasoning for the prediction is sound, but the make up of the country has gotten a lot more dependent and people vote either their wallets or fears. 40% of working age people are out of a job (but hey the reported UE % is 5.1)
That and the voter fraud in swing states will keep me concerned.

Lisa made me laugh “Cruz is too….something” Exactly, and it’s hard to put one’s finger on that ‘something’, but it’s “too”.
I have to laugh at Pataki, Santorum, Huckabee…etc..NO CHANCE of winning and people are still financing them? Posturing at this point for Cabinet positions? ??? With lobbyists waiting for their return of investment?
Ed..Webb? The new Ross Perot? I’m not sure even he believes he has enough followers to run independent, but when someone says they’re FOR this country and then does this……not good.
Kid…Dependence and Fraud..you are SO RIGHT. The COmputer doesn’t computer that.
Jerry added illegals….he’s right. ANybody think the Lefties won’t find a way for them to vote? Remember the story I’ve told many times about the young Blacks in inner city LA who vote for the little old lady who has a hard time getting to the polls….yup…they recommend what she should vote for, she signs and they take it in for her. Isn’t that NICE? These lefties get hundreds of votes EACH.
bocopro; Oh, for those grand old days, I know. I do love Googling ANY information I want, but am seeing it’s not always QUITE TRUE, influenced by bias and agenda on Wiki, etc etc…..

WEBB IS OUT. Smartly, he’s going to wait and see how much support he gets before he decides what next to do. Good speech. I always cringe when I hear both sides need to compromise; I don’t consider destroying our health care in AMerica as compromise, and Webb did vote for that…seems like compromise is always the Right giving in to nonsense, but I recognize my being a proud conservative lends itself to my thinking that.
What about you?

I believe the voting will be a landslide GOP win. Why? There are a whole lot of folks on the Left who are disenfranchised with the O Administration, but because of embarrassment, don’t want to admit it, and will vote GOP in the polling booth where no one can see who they choose. As to who will win? I have been a Trump supporter up to now for a whole lot of reasons, but I am getting tired of his constant trashing of the other candidates, including PAST ones (McCain) and now saying 9/11 was Bush’s fault. So……….I am now favoring Carson, but will vote for whoever gets the nod.
One thing about having Carson: We can accuse the Left of not voting for him because its all about his being Black! Sound familiar? And Carson is a REAL Black, not a “Hybrid”, like O.

I don’t put a lot of stock in this. The term ‘historical averages’ reminds me of what investment brochures say: “performance in the past is no indicator of future returns.” To the extent these ‘averages’ reflect predictable human behavior, there’s some logic there. Gallup – the granddaddy of election polling – has announced they are pulling out.
Does this computer model take into account the massive election rigging that’s going on? Or do they close their eyes to it. I think the Democratic ground game now is registering as many illegal votes as possible. And look where computer models got us on ‘global warming.’
I’d like to see the executive experience of Scott Walker (RIP candidate) with the balls of Trump. I like Fiorina and Cruz. I think either of them has the potential to qualify by the latter criteria.

Bush too much baggage. Even “libertarians” can’t stomach Paul. Trump is just to into Trump and Cruz/Huckabee are just to much into controlling everyone’s lives and morals to mimic theirs, maybe they should run for Pope..Carson puts me to sleep and Fiorina is a target for a lot of arrows.

Baysider; actually, a LOT of past voting trends/statistics have reflected on the present…in many situations; lots of things we’ve all heard about how nobody wins without Ohio,..that’s a simple one I remember, but there are others that are pretty compelling. “No president’s won who didn’t…” Whatever the case is. I think there isn’t much to the computer thing because, as all said above, there’s fraud and Americans aren’t the strong independent types who put our country first anymore, thanks to the pitiful leftwing hate drive.
Skudrunner…If Rubio was a foot taller (there’s another stat that exists that proves taller men win, by the way, everybody) and 10 years older. .;… but I pick him today. I really do. I like his mind…bright, fact-filled,…he’s so articulate and compelling…Excellent guy.
He’s actually a tad more against illegals than Paul Ryan, from what I’ve been reading, too, by the way.
Woodster…there’s something about Cruz that’s not electable……I just feel it in my bones.:-(
fredd..imagine the Left and what they’d do to Steve Forbes? Makes me laugh thinking about it. But he’s a very smart guy…and Bachman was annihilated; sadly, the leftwing media monster is pretty irrevocable; once they’ve pounced and people HEAR IT, there’s not much bringing it back to sanity through facts. LIke the ridiculous stuff they said Palin said, did…..mostly not true, but people remember it. Not that I’m a Palin fan.
Mal! YOU are the consummate OPTIMIST and I am sure that’s why you’re in your mid eighties; we should all keep that in mind! But thanks, I needed a good dose today!

Wasted vote. I know you are very worried about the statement I made the other day, but it will simply never happen. He’s not getting the nomination.
Also, Webb will be a non-entity if he runs 3rd Party. I don’t see him siphoning a significant number of votes from either party.

Ok Rubio is a yes also. He is very well spoken. I like Cruz but like I stated there is just something there that doesn’t do it for me although at first I liked him a lot and he is quite smart . He is a true conservative which may be one reason he would not be able to sway anyone but true conservatives.
Also when he speaks it seems that he is watching himself speak,if you know what I mean

SF; I will say that Webb impressed me by NOT jumping into an Independent race, at least not this morning….he said he’d wait and see how the cards fell after he announced he’s not in the Dem race anymore (Who’ll financially support me?..which is trickier, of course, when one’s not in a particular party); that alone impressed me to pay more attention to him. Though it’s hard to get over his liberal votes!!
Kid, can’t disagree with what you said about Cruz. He is supposedly to have said that it’s hard being the smartest guy in the room, that he has to kind of pull that in a little.
Lisa! YES YES! He absolutely watches himself speak…he looks around for approval. Newt Gingrich can’t speak without searching everyone’s face for approval, ever notice that? I think you mean that?
