2024 Election prediction/discussion

Biden’s approval rating was 15 plus points underwater. 3/4 of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. You manage to ditch Biden. Anyone have any insight on why you replace him with his inarticulate VP knowing those numbers? Could they not get away from the DEI choice ?
Too late in the cycle. That simple. Biden bears a ton of responsibility for trying to run again.

Upon reflection, I have just as often picked losers in my history as a voter.

Bush
Clinton
Dole (l)
Gore (l)
Bush
McCane (l)
Obama

This is the juncture where I changed my registration from Reoublican to unaffiliated.

Clinton (l)
Biden
Harris (l)

I still think I was right every time and that our country would be better off if everyone did what I did :)

You will still have trapped kids at U13 and U19. Think of all the parents who hold their kids back a year because they have a late June/July birthday. Around here they do it so they'll be bigger for football when they get to school ball. But that's still going to put them playing soccer with the wrong grade of kids. And the clubs all want to say not to play up because there is a difference, especially early on (u13/u14), with lots of kids and growing at different stages. I was never a fan of the school year age groups and my son was part of the 1st group for birth year. His best friend, 32 days older, was moved to the 2005 age group while my son was a 2006. At least with birth year there is no doubt which age group you belong to.
There’s really not much you can do about kids who are either started late or held back. This is very rare on the girls side but more common on the boys. The advantages of playing with your recruiting class far outweigh the negatives imo. Recruiting from both the college and player standpoint just go a lot easier. There will be some chaos initially with both clubs and parents. This will subside as the teams are worked out.

Oh. I’m fine. I’m smiling today. Angry sure, but I am now removed from every equation…. Now the Americans gullible enough to believe Huffy and those like him get to ‘Make America Great’ I’m going to sit back and watch them…

Good luck with your plans. 🙂🍿🍿🍿🎆🎆🎇🎇🚒🚒🚒🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷
Huffy is no fool. Intellectually he has shown his merit here often. He has not even been a Trump advocate prior to this election, preferring to observe and comment rather than persuade.

I’m sure Trump will fix that with his tariffs.

Hahahahahahha

Idiots. Go read a history book.

The American voting populous is incredibly reactionary and incredibly gullible. They want someone to blame their difficulties on regardless of the quality of the solutions put before them.
I agree. But let me extend that to people in general. Not just Americans.

This wasn’t a compelling argument in part because she was unable, and in some cases unwilling, to articulate any credible economic policy that convinced the American people that inflation wouldn’t rise even further. Indeed her only proposal was widely panned across her entire party as sophomoric and destined to fail. She spent the rest of the campaign hoping people forgot about it.

Well, predictions in the demise of the institutions of this country have been greatly exaggerated. Time and again, they have held the leadership accountable. The people did it today and they did it in 2020 and they did it in 1992 for that matter.
You just helped elect A CONVICTED FELON who tried to violently overthrow the constitution and has an aversion to the truth to the Oval Office. One who was described by his own key aides and his own running mate as a fascist, who buddies up to the world’s worst dictators and who had 57/100 senators vote that he committed acts of treason.

The demise of the institutions of the government have not been exaggerated. This is the demise. You. You are the demise…. Because you and your ilk prey on simpletons to convince them that the economy is more important than America’s integrity. The real sad fact is that you yourself are not dumb…. You just care about winning the game more than you care about the country itself.

I trust your judgement of political character and policy about as much as I trust your judgement on coaches.

Let me know where I can go where housing isnt double what it was four years ago and I can get a gallon of milk again for $2.89. Inflation ain’t over. It’s plateaued. In only a few sectors. I went to Sonic the other day and they wanted $9 for a blizzard and asked for a tip in the drive through to defray their labor costs.

People are pissed. It’s that simple.

Living in past bad times, not looking ahead.

In most instances you could interchange their names on the negative points you outline here, but what are you going to do with such wonderful choices in both parties? As I said before, living on inflationary experiences that are mostly over.

Probably a little of each. It will likely be uneven across the country.

It will mostly be a lot of people who don’t really even consider who is running. The choice for them was between $5 for a dozen eggs or maybe not $5 for a dozen eggs.
Ironic that Trump is being hailed as a savior of the economy when it was his pal Putin who caused the largest exacerbation of commodity prices which drove inflation…. What’s in this victory for Russia?

The reality is that the fundamentals didn’t favor her with inflation, the retreat from Afghanistan and real weakness in opportunities for young men in our society.

Top that off with the fact that she just wasn’t a good candidate. She’s not good at it. Appears incapable of relaxing or delivering concise answers. Refused to discuss any plans. Not really inspiring. Not as bad as Clinton, but up there. They needed a retail politician to overcome inflation. They selected maybe the worst choice for that out of the dozen or so contenders.

I’ve talked for months that Harris was simply an awful candidate. She was awful in the 2020 primary and history repeated itself as it often does. Just a bad move by the Dems. Looking forward to national vote numbers tomorrow to see if the Dem defeat tonight was due to Pubs voting above 2020 numbers or Dems just not showing up to support a bad candidate.
