2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYou know what I haven't heard Trump say lately? "We're gonna win so much,
we're gonna win so big, you're gonna get sick of winning".
He used to say that all the time. Now it's whinging non-stop about how the election is "rigged" against him.
I know it's early to grow overconfident, but I just don't buy that he has enough self-discipline (let alone a functional political operation), to win- barring some horrific event that somehow favors him.
His reboot started Friday in Maine. Today's Monday. Countdown to his next blooper.

If he's getting his ass beat, the attraction diminishes.
If he behaves himself, he's really boring.

(56,828 posts)I was expecting Obama to lose in both 2008 and 2012, and Gore and Kerry, and Clinton in 1992 and 1996. (OK, I was somewhat confident in 1996, but I had it in the back of my mind that it could still slip away or that something would go wrong...)
However, this time around, I'm reasonably confident that Clinton will win, and win fairly handily.

(12,608 posts)Unfortunately, many adults have vocabularies that have not progressed much beyond the elementary school level; and while they have more experiences, their communication and perceptions of ideas through language is so restricted as to hinder them in the area of mature and critical thoughts.
