The Baptist Board 2016 Election Prediction Thread

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wil win the election by a landslide because pollsters aren’t considering real voters, according to a guest post for website American Lookout.

The site argued that pollsters were especially wrong when considering swing states because these states were not going to be actual tossups at all — they’re going to go for Trump. In fact, when considering the number of real voters participating in the election, Trump will win with 315 electoral votes.

Writer Tom Franklin explained that one of the reasons was that pollsters have largely ignored the increase in Republican turnout this year.

He added that pollsters were also underestimating the numbers of Democrats who will vote for Trump. This would include supporters for Sen. Bernie Sanders who decided to jump ship after the level of corruption within the Democrat Party was revealed.

Pollsters have additionally miscalculated the percentage of white voters who will turn out in relation to other voting segments of the population.

It's been a while since I've harvested any crow. May have to rectify that.
Well, if you're down here in N.C they're open for shootin' all day long except on the 4th of July and Wednesday I think?

If you do catch some crow, make sure you catch them in forest where they won't be eatin' any trash. Animals like coons and crows don't taste so good if they've been eatin' trash. Gives them a greasy, bitter kinda taste.

Don't ask me how I know that...

Just kiddin' heheh

My dad, born in '33, always said raccoon was very tasty, but wouldn't trust any nowadays with rabies.

I've shot plenty of crow, just haven't dined on any in real life. Just metaphorically from time to time.:)

Anyone have a good recipe for crow? Of course this is 1:30. Am but from my perspective Trump is next POTUS.. And Republicans have held on to the Senate..

Hallajullia on the latter! Yet to see with Trump.

difficult post to make (for me) but want to get it in before it's too late:

Trump wins Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, New Hampshire, Michigan, that one district in Maine, and probably Pennsylvania and Colorado, maybe even Wisconsin. Doesn't matter, he's over the top already.

Senate - want Kelly in NH to lose but coattails will bring Burr and her over the top, and the Bayh dynasty will take another hit in Indiana. My state won't have the dumbest Senator of all any more, but she will win her re-election and Kamala Harris will win down in California.

Heck and Kirk will both lose in their states, as will Trump. House will be plus or minus shift either way, won't change it much at all.

Wow! Good work 777. When I saw you had picked Michigan and Colorado yesterday I thought you were crazy. Well, Colorado was wrong but picking Michigan was crazy good.

In all honesty, Light, I heard late Sunday night that her internals were cratering and she was in big trouble throughout the Midwest and Pennsylvania - that's why she rushed back there and wrapped it all up in Philadelphia.

They thought she would lose Colorado very narrowly as well, but she did pull that one off. She knew it was all over. It was an anti-dynasty election year and she suffered from that sentiment. Her party is now in bad shape, had an opportunity to win the Senate on a silver platter, enough of a wave could've flipped the House and now there are three more brand new GOP governors.

Another factor I think affected the election was the huge hike in Obamacare premiums, effective November 1, the timing could not have been worse. I actually think the pollsters did okay, except the ones that had Hillary up by 12 and all. Still uneasy about a Trump presidency, he's always reminded me of a Jesse Ventura/Arnold hybrid.

Yeah, well, I've been there, done that Jesse Ventura thing. That was not a good time. Started well and ended up badly.

And I won't know who my governor is for another week and a half. :(

Is there going to be a recount? I have a good friend in Wake County that was ecstatic with the results in NC and was hoping that McCrory would pull it out.

Looks like Roy "Men in the ladies room is okay with me" Cooper is up by 3,000 votes, out of 4.5 million cast. The official vote count won't be turned in to the state until 10 days or so.

Between the shenanigans in Durham county, and the yuge number of mail in votes from the .mil, nobody but the Lord knows how this one will play out.

I'm trying to remain optimistic.
