Trump wins the election

 

DOW gains 1.3%

 

Big Ass Hurricane in August named Phil

 

No Civil War

 

DR gets 1200 more followers

 

and of course indictments in late summer/early fall

 

Finally for some bonus points - Sajak passes before Trebek

[Buffalo_Gal]

My Political Predictions:

I predict pain and destruction for the coup plotters!!  

Actually, I don't really. At this point even I am worn out by the lack of indictments, and would not be shocked to see the clock run out. I am hopeful that there will be justice, but not certain of it. *heavy sigh*

I predict Donald J Trump is re-elected.
I predict the Ds lose the House (wth, why not?)
I predict the Rs hold the Senate.

And with all three branches within the same party, I predict the Republicans do something to ***** up the country. (Hey, can't let the Democrats have all the fun!)

Hmmm reading the above, I think my cynical is dialed to high today. 

My Bills Predictions:

For the 2020 season the Bills get a big ole WR that has good hands and can help Josh Allen out with his fast balls.
I predict the Bills go 11-5, in spite of the tough schedule, and win the AFC East.
I predict that the New England dynasty is finally over.

[Tiberius]

There will be a big foreign policy crisis the nation will face, and Trump will tweet about it. Really tweet hard!

[Nanker]

Biden will be the Dem candidate. 
Trump will be the Republican candidate (really going out on a limb here). 
Biden’s running mate will be Okra Winfrey or someone like that. 
Indictments come down in Q2 2020. They have a major impact on the election narratives. 

AOC will not be re-elected. 
 

SEVERAL big names lose their political commentary positions in the MSM. 

 

RBG passes. RIP you very tough old lady. 
Trump nominates  a woman to The Supremes. McConnell forces it through - after saying in retrospect he was wrong previously in not holding hearings for Garland.

 
At least one of the cabal dies suddenly. 
 

The Senate acquits Trump. The “whistleblower” is outed in the MSM. 

 

Brexit does happen. 

The Dow closes over 30,000; NASDAQ 9,000; and the S&P500 over 3,800. 

Tony Podesta gets indicted for sex crimes. 
 

Bob Kraft goes to trial and The League forces him to sell his team. The Pats*** don’t get to the SuperBowl. In fact they won’t return there until 2055 at the earliest. BB retires as does Marcia who begins gender reassignment procedures. 
 

The Bills rule the AFC for the next decade. They finally win their first of several Lombardis in the following season. 
 

 

[DC Tom]

I predict:

Hillary Clinton beats Donald Trump again.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg dead for six weeks, recovers in time to hear cases.

Jeffrey Epstein kills himself.

Impeachment 2.0: Impeach Harder

Adam Schiff gets outsmarted by that wascally wabbit again.

[Foxx]

The Economist has always had it's way of predicting the coming year via their cover, this year being no different.

Trump diabolically supports a prison reform bill that frees up many people of color and simultaneously makes the economy so much better that black & brown unemployment reaches record lows. Lefties like you Tiberius, object that Trump is making those poor unfortunates get off their asses and go to work. On the other hand, those unfortunates loudly proclaim that there does seem to be dignity in work and they feel liberated from their Leftist masters dedicated to keeping them on the plantation. The Lefties like you Tiberius weep when you realize you're losing your slaves. Who are the racists now?

Trump will win without carrying Cali, NY, WA, OR and IL, a solid win but not a total electoral landslide of Reagan

 Bills and Allen improve but the Pats still take the division 

 

 

others: the Equal Rights Amendment will arise and libs will try to overturn the sunset limit met many years ago, they are only a few states away from passing it, but the courts will not overturn the time limits already expired

1. Trump wins in an electoral landslide but slim popular margin.
2. Dem's 2nd and 3rd attempt to impeach fail.
3. The Barr/Durham investigation into FISA abuse will expose several high level FBI/CIA/DOJ and Obama officials conspired to spy on the Trump campaign. I hopes of repairing the damage, no indictments are made. Trump tweets (furiously).
4. Stock Market will finish down ~3%
5. Dems lose control of the House and Republicans maintain the Senate but the margins of control are slim.
6. Sabres make the playoffs but lose in the 1st round.
7. Bills win a playoff game for the first time in 25 years.
8. Tom Brady will stay on for one more year with the Patriots but will miss the playoffs.
9. Bills win the AFC east in 2020 with a record of 11-5.
10. Miami Dolphins earn a 2020 playoff wildcard with Fitz and a record of 9-7.

Biden and Sanders are very close but Biden wins outright or at a contested convention, with the Dems realizing he has the best shot to win PA and WI. 

 

Biden choses Klobuchar as VP.

 

Biden wins popular vote but loses electoral vote with PA taking a while to decide in a mandatory recount. Rs make small gains in House but it stays D. Senate largely unchanged. 

 

Dems draw up more articles of impeachment. 

 

North Korea and Iran enter a new phase of chaos with their economic pressures proving to be more than they can continue to keep control of. 

 

Durham report results in the criminal prosecution eventually of no more than 3 people. 

 

Trump gets to appoint 1 more SC justice (Thomas or RBG).

 

China trade war substantially over by end of the year with economy still humming. 

 

Division continues as we continue to enjoy almost unheard-of prosperity. 

 

Bills: 

 

Not quite ready on offense this year, lose a close one at Houston.

 

Beane addresses the glaring hole at a WR with size, resigns one of Shaq or Phillips, extends Tre White. 

 

Bills are in the hunt for the AFC East with 9-7 record at the end of the year, and despite the step back in record, are a much better team than this year.

How many Republicans turn out to vote for President in NY, CA, IL, MA where the foregone conclusion is that electoral votes aren't going their way?  How many have heard the "popular vote" complaint of Democrats who want to abolish the Electoral College? They  they come out just to vote R in response to that.   How many women voters came out and pulled the lever for Hillary just so they can say that they voted for the first woman president? They may not show up this time for an old white guy.  I think your reason and my reasons will probably wash each other out.

i expect everyone who wants Trump will make sure they get out there and vote, even in acid-washed states like California

  Lefties can turn out all they want in states such as NY and CA.  It will not affect the count of electoral votes once Dems have a simple majority.  Lefties need to turn out in the Upper Midwest among other areas.

If the Dems win WI, MI, or PA, they will have elected someone who can win but they need to actually win 2 of those 3. 

 

Bernie and Warren would go 0-fer in those states.

 

 

Of the leaders, only Biden has a chance to get 2 out of 3. At a contested convention that goes past the first round and then to the Superdelegates, I expect the Dems to pull someone out who could (not "will" but "could" mind you) win those states. 

 

I'd love for Bloomberg to be in the discussion but I don't see how he wins unless he makes a lot of hay on the convention floor, where I don't think he can win as an outsider.
