Predictions Thread

Here are Allahpundit's -- he explains his hunches, and it's all plausible enough. Good starting point for your own guesswork, maybe.

I'm going to stick to my own prediction -- Trump comes in 2nd -- not because I particularly believe it, but just because I already made it and backing off from it gains me nothing, whereas sticking by it, should this lottery ticket pay money, makes me look like a genius, which, of course, I actually am, but this fact is not broadly nor enthusiastically enough proclaimed.

I stand by my other prediction that Rubio comes in first. for similar reasons, plus, of course, my own not-very-subtle attempt to play the Expectations Game against him.

Whoah: Okay, bear in mind, the Decision Desk crew is a crowdsourced effort. Further, keep in mind they do not have the institutional wisdom that other polling outfits have -- they're still learning their craft.

So I wouldn't put much stock in this. That's not a knock on them; it's just an acknowledgement of the hugely ambitious project they've chosen for themselves.

But this is what their own exit polling says:


Also bear in mind these are exit polls only of "bellwether precincts." But a bellwether is really only predictive in a 2-man or 2-party race. How do you have a bellwether which can be expected to be predictive of a 10-man race?

And please, let this not turn into "Elevated expectations for Cruz, which are then dashed (proving him a loser!!!) should he not meet them."

This is a new kid on the block doing their first exit poll. It should not set expectations. It's just some interesting data.

Update: Per Fox, Belknap county is a bellwether which has a good record of predicting the 1-2-3 finishes in the whole state.

That said, their predictiveness might be off when, say, you trade a social conservative in the third slot for a moderate. Like, predicting Huntsman in third does not mean you can predict Cruz in third, as a different kind of voter would vote Cruz.

Beyond the first three places, who knows?

10 i think it's possible cruz wins, but it seems very unlikely, if the polls are even close to being right. I think 2nd place would be a huge, huge thing for him.

Frankly, 3rd place would be a huge thing.

99 Here's a prediction: Trump wins states with large Democrat bases and open primaries, where Dems can cross over and contaminate the process.

I predict that out of the first 23 states' primaries, all but one of Trump's victories (South Carolina) will be in that category -- liberal states with open primaries.

What a co-inky-dink!

And should Trump win the nomination, it will be on the strength of his victories in places like NY, NJ, and CA -- in other words, in states he'd have zero chance of winning in the general election.

Here's a prediction: Trump wins states with large Democrat bases and
open primaries, where Dems can cross over and contaminate the process.



I predict that out of the first 23 states' primaries, all but one of
Trump's victories (South Carolina) will be in that category -- liberal
states with open primaries.



What a co-inky-dink!



And should Trump win the nomination, it will be on the strength of
his victories in places like NY, NJ, and CA -- in other words, in states
he'd have zero chance of winning in the general election.

398 Doesn't the GOP in NH let Democrats and trolls vote in their primary? That would explain the high Kasich numbers. Since he's a Democrat and a troll

Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at February 09, 2016 08:03 PM (6FqZa)

399 How did the decision desk get scoring like it is a auto race with leader then how many votes down the rest of the field?
P1- Trump
P2- Kasich
P3- Bush
P4- Cruz
P5- Rubio
P6- Christie
P7- Forina
P8- Carson
P9- Other
P10- Gilmore

Chris Matthews was more or less begging Trump to pick Kasich as a running mate yesterday.

406 If Cruz comes in ahead of Rubio, he should thank Trump.

Trump's P...y comment probably got him the the feminist and transgender vote (Hillary's loss).

Illiniwek @ #395,

Kasich is not at all an implausible Veep selection for Trump.
I don't care for Kasich as a politician at all.
However - IF Trump does indeed secure the nomination - he will need to throw a big bone to the Establishment to unite the party for the general election.

That's a simple political reality. And I fully expect it (and desire it) to be fulfilled.

And I'd prefer Kasich over Bush.

$36M Bush
$18.5M Christie
$15.2M Rubio
$12.1M Kasich
$3.7M Trump
$1.8M Fiorina
$580K Cruz

Cruz seems to be running a smart campaign. Doing very well for what he spent in a state not favorable to him.
