538 forecast is out:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...mary-forecast/
Chance of winning half of pledged delegates:
Biden - 42%
Sanders 22%
Nobody (brokered convention) - 13%
Warren - 12%
Pete - 9%
All others - 2%
Chance of winning Iowa:
Biden - 35%
Sanders - 26%
Pete - 22%
Warren - 14%
Chance of winning New Hampshire:
Sanders - 32%
Biden - 29%
Pete - 19%
Warren - 16%
Though the simulator clearly needs some work as it only gives Biden a 58% chance in South Carolina, and gives Pete a 9% chance there. Which is clearly... not true.
538's final forecast for the 2016 election...Hillary WON!!!
All these great pollsters need to eat shit because they can't predict nothing.
Instead of using pollsters, they should use the Psychic Friends Network.

29% chance of winning... isn't a small chance. It's within a very normal standard deviation. Pollsters didn't do all that poorly in 2016. Pollsters don't "predict" anything. That's literally just not what they do or are supposed to do. How do you think that way and you post on a poker forum? lol
Of course people who say 538 "predicted" all 50 states correctly in 2012 are also dumb. They didn't predict anything. They merely assigned probabilities to each event.
And look at that popular vote forecast: Clinton 48.5%, Trump: 44.9%. Actual results: Clinton 48.2%, Trump 46.1%. So yeah, let's dismiss polling because of that lol
saw an interesting comment today... biden's ran for president twice before and not won a single primary. bernie's run once and won 22 primaries.

I was a Democrat all my life until that milquetoast Obama arrived. Now I look at the Dems like a bunch of blithering idiots.
I think we know who to thank for that poll. Steyermania. Steyermentum. It's a life Steyle
my $100 to your $1000, correct?
Bought 1250 shares of Klobuchar to win Iowa.
Might buy another few thousand ahead of the debate.
Probably will sell her debate spike and then make a decision how many shares to let ride.
She has the best people on the ground and is taking the Santorum approach which only shows up late.
I would put the favorite as her, then Sanders, then Pete, think decent chance Biden finishes 4th but depending on how much last minute momentum Klobuchar can gather, he might fall to fifth.
Everything Warren does is so cringeworthy.
She's constantly reinventing herself in order to either further her career or further her chances in the polls.
All of her life story anecdotes she tells are false. "I'm Native American", "My kids always went to public school", "I was pushed out of being a schoolteacher in 1971 because I was pregnant", etc.
Her Native American cookbook was plagiarized.
Hell, she was even a Republican at one point.
In clips like these, she tries so hard to be hip and relatable to the average person, and it just comes off so awkward. Remember the embarrassing "I'm going to announce my Presidential run, but first I'm having a beer" video?

Elizabeth Warren is a female nerd. She always has been. She should find some way to make that work in her favor, rather than try to posture as the cool older woman who drinks beer and enjoys dancing.
Trump was much, much better at this type of shit. Rather than pretend to be just like you, Trump unabashedly makes it clear that he's NOT like you, but that he also understands you and wants to make things better. He comes off as real and authentic even when he's bullshitting. He has that talent. Elizabeth Warren does not have it.
Think of how far we've come since the "Howard Dean scream" ruined his candidacy just 16 short years ago.
No chance that would have sunk him in 2020.
Poor Howard Dean.
warren will be remembered for two things:
1) normalizing a wealth tax
2) normalizing totally ignoring right wing pundits to their gook faces
3. pocahontas
4. blake is a black israelite
5. not washing her face... ever

i feel like thats covered under #4 somehow.
it was a bit redundant
elizabeth warren has immaculate skin for her age (practically any age)
The next winner of the South Carolina primary
Williamson dropped out today. Guess the "big shift" didn't materialize. She's endorsing Bernie, since his campaign ideas are also based on magic.
Tulsi is about as relevant as Marianne Williamson at this point
