NOVEMBER PREDICTIONS - Put em Right Here

VP Harris wins in a landslide - EC 270 - 268, Popular vote 48.4% to 47.5%

Iron Mike - I know a guy who fought him very early in his pro career, lasted 2 rounds.

10-2 but no CFP, FANTASTIC YEAR

Bonus: Allred defeats Cruz offsetting the WV & Montana R pick-ups > Democratic Party cashes in on trifecta >Liz Cheney gets ring side seat in Cabinet
That's not a landslide - that's a squeaker.

Go Hoosiers!

I was using your definition. There was an apparently too well hidden message in my post. The most important issue wrt policy here at home is who will control the Senate, especially if VP Harris is elected President. You have been prolific in your posting about the presidential race, haven’t seen much of your take on the Ohio Senate seat.

Brown vs Moreno is close. Brown seems to be outspending Moreno in TV ads. It can go either way, but don't be surprised if it goes to Brown. Trump doesn't seem to be pulling Moreno over the finish line.

That Brown will likely survive while Trump carries Ohio is reflected in most current polls. Let me be clear. The Democrat party powers see this election as their best chance in years, looking ahead or behind, to have the trifecta and be able to aggressively make major policy changes. Meanwhile “good Republicans” (I use Liz Chaney as the face of that group) allow their hatred of Trump to blind them to the harm the Democratic trifecta would bring. I very much understand Trump is terrible, IMO worst occupant of the White House since LBJ. BUT even in the unlikely of a Republican trifecta he could not get any thing significant through Congress. To be clear the R’s wouldn’t blow up the filibuster, and the D’s are looking at which issue to use to do just that. So how is Trump running so far ahead of Moreno in Ohio where one would expect the MAGAs and good R’s to both land on Moreno?

That will depend on how obstructionist the Senate Ds are. They (the Pubs) would do it if they thought they had no other choice, like the Dems did when the Rs refused to allow Obama to appoint any judges, and when the Ds weren't going to allow Trump to appoint Gorsuch.
 
Good question, I would expect R’s to fight Harris appointment regardless of trifecta, but IMO not a slam dunk that R’s would under R trifecta. We have digressed to the point in our divided country where political leaders sometimes value the issue more that a quick result. I didn’t make it clear but I was talking about legislation, e.g perhaps an unfettered right to an abortion or quick path to citizenship for our southern guests.
 
Harris wins popular, but Trump wins an EC squeaker. Senate GOP 52-48. House Dem by a small handful. However, the Dems don't show the drama the GOP did, and have no problem electing a Speaker and passing legislation, even if it goes nowhere in the Senate.

I will not predict IU football games.
Harris wins popular vote and barely wins the EC 276/262. Harris holds Wisconsin/Michigan/Pennsylvania by very small margins. Senate goes 51/49 Republican. Democrats take House by small margin. Trump goes ballistic and causes chaos in streets and government.

IU football loses a tough game at O$U but completes the regular season with only one loss. IU is selected for the championship tourney but loses in the first round.

IU basketball plays solid, comes in second in league, wins B10 tourney and reaches sweet sixteen in NCAA.

The Water Cooler continues to trend down in quality of posts and posters, losing the few remaining reasonable active voices.

Anderson Cooper fact checks Harris and shows her to be incapable of defending anything. Now WaPo will not endorse a candidate. This seems to be trending towards a Trump victory.

Moreno will win by 5. Will not be close. Screenshot this. And the Dems had the trifecta from 2021-2023.

Harris is trash. Total pos. I’m watching her read “trump will be a dictator from day one” will “use the military as his own personal militia.” Hopefully this ends her career.

Hope it takes Walz too. At least Trump will never run again, regardless of outcome.

Doubt it but the question is who is dropping the ball to explain the difference between Trump polling #s and Moreno’s. Dem trifecta was largely wasted*, they won’t let another opportunity slip by.

* They couldn’t pass their bloated infrastructure bill because the squad held out for more. Then enough R’s pitched in to pass President Biden’s signature legislative achievement.
 
The desperation is hanging thickly in the air.

You've got mayor Pete trying to appeal to libertarians that Harris is somehow the choice of liberty.


Walz is trying to convince gun owners that what they've seen and heard her say in past isn't real


Harris is lying about non-existent Trump abortion bans

The issue is MAGA works for Trump but not so much for other candidates.
 
I think we are going to steam roll MSU. They aren't good.

I'm worried about this week. The national media is glazing us, new QB with full game to start, a decent Washington team with a bye week to prepare.

If we take care of UW convincingly, I like our chances of 11-1.

Re predictions:

Harris

The Problem Child is too much for Iron Mike

Hoosiers 11-1 and in the CFB Playoff.

Note: I'm not confident in any of these and won't bet them.
For you


I love this on a couple of levels. First his hair is hilarious. I’m not sure if that’s a widow’s peak or what but damn he’s got some hairline 🤣. But what I love most is how different that next gen is.

He got caught on camera and people chuckled about his hair and his response? I’d obviously love to grow my brand 🤣🤣🤣

Passing legislation is a horse of a very different color than confirming presidential nominations.

If legislation doesn’t pass, it doesn’t pass. Status quo. But if a nomination isn’t confirmed at some point, then posts go unfilled and government can’t function properly.

Trump publicly implored McConnell to ditch the legislative filibuster and McConnell appropriately told Trump to go pound sand.

They’re never going to win the support of gun guys by advocating for a ban on “assault weapons.” And telling them you’re a gun owner doesn’t help.

That’s like telling an abortion rights activist “Vote for me. I only want to ban abortion after 12 weeks. My daughter had an abortion at 10 weeks.”

It's like shooter's "I'm a gun owner, but..." and you remember him saying his only gun is a shotgun kept 1,000 miles away at his brother's farm in Indiana where his dead dad watched Fox News so much it burned a hole in his TV screen.

Inside info on moving to Gators?
No. It’s just that the SEC schools don’t mess around. They’ll fire a coach after one season that’s not cutting it, no matter what the payout may be. Cignetti has proven he can win big, and quick, at a school with less talent and resources. If a Florida, Bama, LSU type school wants him, I think it would be tough for him to turn down his one opportunity at the big time, at his age. Just my personal opinion, but I’m often wrong. 😉

"I'm for sensible gun ownership laws where if someone is considered dangerous, mentally unstable, or a 'threat to democracy', we confiscate their guns."

"Would Trump voters automatically be logged and considered "mentally unstable""?

"We'll defer to our designated expert on political fanatacism, William Gilligan, to determine what individuals need to be denied gun ownership, and/or delegation for re-education...his IQ is evidently really high, and he's a self-described expert in this field".

WTF. My name isn’t William or Gilligan and I’m a conservative and a 2nd Amendment supporter. This is one way you MAGAs are screwing up the party - you turn on those that agree with you on issues, but not on everything. You can’t have a party where in which every person is totally loyal to Trump and all agree on every issue. It’s not going to happen.

Now go **** yourself. That’s more than enough ankle biting from you. Are you Mas?
