2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHow many here think the presidential election won't be decided by Nov 7th?
ala 2000.
I think if its close where one state can change the result, I can see bullshit recounts occuring

(26 posts)the only way that happens is if Ohio is extremely close. Like a 1% or less kind of close.

you don't think jeb actually wants mitt to use his machine to win, do you?
it's jeb's ball, and he won't let mitt in the game
everything else is being done to lower the house members the dems win

(11,464 posts)and once Ryan is repudiated, the repubs will move to the central (or appear to) to attempt to defeat Hillary in 2016.
everything has been done for Jebs advantage (the changes in the nominating process passed around convention time), and Jeb has a major book coming out next year about education
and Jeb is for immigration solution of some sort
like Hillary, it's in Jeb's blood to try it.Retirement is not what he wants, and he knew (as the Bush's also play that chessgame that he couldn't win this year, and the bush's as proven in the past, are patient people.
Like Obama knows, it's the long term that matters more than the immediate, once you win.
It's why 2014 is even more important than 2012 once Obama wins.
imho of course.

(13,468 posts)If the news media drags it out past midnight to keep people from turning of the TV. Then it will technically be decided on Nov 8th.

(38 posts)Why wouldn't it be decided by then? 2000 was a one-in-a million fluke.
