No one here probably remembers me.
I posted a lot about softball for a while.
Before that I lurked and trolled on this board.
I was a troll because it was fun to poke at flames and then watch the sparks fly.
I quit because the entire pollical landscape changed.
What used to be all in good fun, was not fun anymore.
People starting getting actually mad, rather than taking it for what it was, sarcastic hyperbole.
I learned that there was a somewhat moderate republican, who used to post here a lot had become solidly democratic because of “hateful” comments from republicans.
I'm not narcissistic enough to believe that I caused that, I’m regret any small part I may have played in that.
Now I just lurk, and really don’t even do that very often.
Heck I don’t even follow college or professional sports much anymore because some of the same reasoning.
I first started following politics for the 1976 election, when I was in Jr. High. Heck, I remember voting in the Weekly Reader poll in 1972 in elementary school. The first presidential election I was old enough to vote in was 1984. I have voted for the republican every time, even when I had to hold my nose to do so.
I believe the last time I posted here was just after Trump won in 2016 saying a lot of the above but wanted to laugh at the melt down.
I said then I held my nose and voted for him, and anyone that thought he was going to be a good president was kidding themselves.
My opinion is that he did better than I expected.
Yes, I’m voting for him again. He’s just better than the alternative on the issues I care about.
No, I don’t want to discuss those. My reasons are my own, and you can think of it what you want, and you will. I can’t see that reasonable discussion will change your mind any more than trolling did.
With all that being said and in keeping with the OP that this was for predictions, the Real Clear Politics No Toss Up Map shows 312-226 Trump and has since 10/17.
That’s my predication, or real close to that, and Trump will win the popular vote majority.
I wanted to stop by and say that “publicly” so I can maybe stop by when the counting done say “told ya” in the least trolling way possible.
