2018 Predictions

[Pavlov]

Wow, you're really upset that someone laughed at you.

Wow, you're really upset that you were impressed.

[baseline bum]

- GOP retains control of the House, but Dems retake Senate.

Nah you got it flipped man. The Democrats have an extremely unfavorable map for the 2018 senate elections with five Democrat in bents trying to retain their seats in very red states (North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia, and Montana) plus six in bents trying to hold on in purple states (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine) plus a seat they could lose in New Jersey due to Menendez's corruption. The GOP will have a 42-23 lead starting off election day and they have no in bents in blue states that need to defend their seats. They will likely have four in purple states (2 in Arizona assuming McCain dies or retires, 1 in Nevada, 1 in Florida).

If the Democrats squeak out an extra two seats in the senate it means they would have to win all but two of those compe ive races, assuming McCain dies or retires and his seat is in the November election. If that happens they will have won the house massively and it will have been a huge wave election for them.

Who really knows? Do you have access? Possibly 7 or 8

[spurraider21]

- Corporate tax breaks will by and large be spent on stock buy-backs, inflating stock prices but doing little to stimulate job growth. Trump supporters with jobs will continue to tout the stock market as a sign of economic growth but support among rural Trump voters declines as their towns continue to waste away.

- Jeff Sessions resigns as AG or dies.

- Ted Cruz loses his TX Senate race in an upset.

- President Donald Trump announces on Twitter that he will no longer use Twitter. Returns one week later to respond to unflattering CNN story.

- Celebrity deaths: Willie Nelson, Jack Nicholson, William Shatner, Bob Barker, James Franco

- Celebrity sexual assault scandals: Sean Hannity, Rob Gronkowski, Al Sharpton, Tommy Wiseau, James Franco

damn. rough year for james franco

You can always tell serious posters from rabid morons by how hard they bury their heads in the sand about Russia.

Works both ways. Russia did some with the express purpose of causing disarray in Western democracies. They quite possibly have something on the current president.

That is something of a big deal, unless you are saying that somehow Trumps magic "R" makes him immune to such things.

Sweeping the problem under the rug, or putting your hands over your ears saying "la-la-la" doesn't deal with the problem.

- Ted Cruz loses his TX Senate race in an upset.

Every candidate Bannon has backed has pretty much lost, as far as I am aware.

But, polling is not really favoring O'Rourke yet.

14% lead is hard to overcome.

give it a rest and get help for your paranoid schizophrenic conspiracies. It’s all in your mind

just get someone to make a fake rape claim, proven strategy

did it work against clinton or trump? harassment claims against clarence thomas? you're blowing this overboard, per par

[Mark Celibate]

Why are there so many mentally ill, drug addicts, and psychos on spurstalk? This place used to be to blow off steam and have a little fun but it’s taken a weird turn. Everyone always turns out to be drug addicts.

rape accusations work every time!
white race is on the verge of being eliminated!

[CosmicCowboy]

Trump will continue to be an embarrassment but wont be inpeached.

Its the economy stupid. The "democratic wave" will be a bathtub ripple. Republicans will pick up seats in the senate. The house wont flip.

Fed will do at least three 1/4 point raises in 2018.

Stimulus goes nowhere.

Hopefully (not a prediction) we get immigration reform. Go to merit based immigration and not chain immigration. Trade daca for a token wall effort.

[CosmicCowboy]

Boutons continues to post stupid cut and pastes from moronic websites that nobody reads.

[CosmicCowboy]

Boukaki can tantrum kick and scream about the richer tax cuts but the majority of voters are going to see their paychecks go up next month. Democrats are going to have a hard time defending their vote against tax cuts.

[spurraider21]

Agreed with much of the above:

Trump won't be impeached but will continue to make an ass of himself on a daily basis

House Democrats who are desperate for attention will continue to waste time and resources drafting articles of impeachment that go nowhere

Republicans will still hold majorities in both chambers of Congress

Rollbacks on environmental regulation lead to short term economic gains that increase republican popularity (like children eating candy for dinner tbh)

Mueller's probe won't implicate Trump himself

Democrats won't budge on the DACA/wall deal... but mainly to take a principled stance against the "racist wall" rather than criticizing the wall as an economic burden

We will see a surge in medical bankruptcies

SCOTUS will uphold Trump's travel ban on a 5-4 vote

[CosmicCowboy]

I think dems would trade daca for a merit based immigration system with token progress on the wall. Chain immigration is idiotic and needs to be ended. Immigrants are great if they have skills and a willingness to assimilate.
