Re: Election predictions
Dup.
At this point anything could happen, and I'm not comfortable making any assumptions or predictions, besides I'm way too liberal for most of you, and I try not to get too politically confrontational with strangers. After working in and with the media for 5 years, I know most polls are bogus and are more for entertainment value and ratings. The statistical samples they use are just too small and unreliable.
But I can say this, I am 95% sure, whomever I vote for President will be a "write in" candidate.
Hint: #ElizabethWarren2016.
As much as I would have loved to vote for her, part of me thinks she can do more good in the Senate. I'd also love to see her run in four years after she's had time to get established. I still lived in MA when she was first elected and was pumped to vote for her. It was my first experience voting in an election that was actually close, so that was fun too.
Yes! Come to the Politics and Current Events Board. We have fun and we do respect one another. All are welcome (as long as you promise to be nice and not site things from Wikipedia).
The nation is in a hole in many ways. As I posted on P&CE, I'm not at all interested in a "D.C. as usual" approach or candidate.
If he's still in the running by Super Tuesday, my vote will go to Ben Carson. I trust his character and integrity. I know other candidates possess good character and integrity, but I like the freshness of Carson's position. With a cabinet and other advisors, he will get right up to speed on the details of issues the nation faces. And, he only doesn't know those details because he is not privy to classified information like the Senators and governors are - that came quickly change.
His tax plan was rated as the best by Forbes and he has a great idea for every American to have their own HSA to use however they want and to be able to port the account to other family members.
I like that he is just as un-PC as Trump but he is respectful, kind, and diplomatic. He's a very principled man and highly intelligent. Some of the stories of the families he has helped and people he has aided are just remarkable.
He didn't know a lot about the Syrian refugees, so what did he do? He traveled there and met with people. He "gets" working with others to make plans and devise strategy. During the surgery he did on the conjoined twins, he managed and coordinated 2 surgical teams that amounted to over 50 people. He studied for 3 months before he performed this surgery. Obviously being a doctor, he is used to making quick decisions that affect lives.
These are all skills that readily transfer to POTUS type of leadership. He may be soft-spoken, but why does a "successful" candidate have to be the one that honks the loudest? Being loud does not usually mean the best, brightest, or most appropriate.
All IMHO.
