    Predictions from Norton:
    Trump will not be found guilty in Senate impeachment trial.
    Trump will be elected to a 2nd term in November.

    Predictions I certainly don't enjoy making but that's the way I see it.

    I will see you comment and raise you. I predict that Bernie Sanders will be the next president of the United States and the the GOP will lose the Senate as well.

    I was reading on another site a poster's reckons and I would have to agree. Trump has a solid 25% of a retarded base that will vote for him regardless. Ten percent can be added of those voters who just want to give the establishment the middle finger. He'll probably add another 10% of those types who are looking for more tax breaks. This adds up to 45%. The ones looking for a tax break are probably the only Trump voters to flip. The other Trump voters are hopelessly brain damaged. The Democratic Party should best that number of 45%, but they need to be careful not to alienate their base and have a big turn out on polling day. That, or not have spoilers like Gabbard split off and go for a third party run.
    pues, estamos aqui

    some knowledgeable people are positing that the dem nominee could get as many as 5 million more votes than trump in the 2020 election and still lose the electoral college by one.

    Yep, +1

    Then after his second presidency, hopefully a decent and through investigation into the shite he got into during his term in office and into the Jail for him.

    Considering how much his radical Tweets move the Stock Market, if he's been trading ahead of those Tweets, in full knowledge of what effect on the Market they would have, strip him of that booty.

    Then, for icing on the cake, Melania to divorce him and write a tell all book so that he is tarnished forever.

    you can blame it on james madison....and it wasn't ignorance on his part....more a crafty maneuver that kept a slave state virginian in the white house for 32 of the republic's first 36 years.

    the others? probably more shortsightedness than ignorance.

    a constitutional amendment to repeal it is very unlikely...bordering on impossible.

    another example of them being short sighted...two senators per state. the dakotas with a total population of 1.5 million people have double the senators of california which has a population of 40 million.

    I think it had its place and was valid at a time when there were legitimate concerns that a few urban centers could sway things unduly though.

    The issue now however is that time and concern is no longer valid and it is an increasingly archaic system that is resulting in exactly what it was designed to prevent.

    It really is vile. There really is no point of those being two states is there? Ridiculous.

    Both are shitholes and irrelevant to the greater nation.

    It certainly is Ray and things could go bad for Trump as they could for any Dem candidate. The Dem candidates are going to get increasingly critical of each other as November approaches. Gloves will come off.

    Too old and too unspecific re exactly how he will pay for his health care proposal. Taxing the rich is vague and promising big tax increase on the rich not a proven good strategy in the past.

    Don't consider myself very knowledgeable but there-in is the basis for my prediction.

    As an Aussie I probably shouldn't speak about American politics but as The Donald is supposed to be the leader of the free world I guess I can.
    Anyway I am always amazed at the things this guy says and does and am very interested in what they discover in relation to the following comment I took from a news story.

    “The bar for impeachmentcannot be set this low,” said Jay Sekulow, one of the president’s personalattorneys, referring to the Democrats’
    impeachment case. Deputy White Housecounsel Pat Philbin said the abuse-of-power article was “infinitely malleable”and allowed for too much subjectivity. “How are we supposed to get the proof ofwhat’s in the president’s head?” he asked."


    I am sure there is plenty of room in his head to go looking for answers.
