Share your predictions about elections, government personnel changes, investigations, indictments/convictions, specific policies or the specific fate of politicians. No childish BS (personal attacks or thread derailing).

My predictions:

  1. Trump will not lose the 2020 Republican primary contest.
  2. If Trump makes it to election day 2020, he will win re-election.
  3. Trump will not be indicted for any crimes while in office.
  4. Robert Mueller's investigation will not conclude that Trump attempted to offer US policy concessions to Russia in exchange for access to the hacked DNC e-mails.
  5. Martin O'Malley, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Kirsten Gillibrand will all announce candidacies for president for 2020.
  6. Cory Booker will not be the Democratic nominee in 2020.
  7. The Republicans will hold the Senate in the 2018 election.
  8. Trump will not be removed from office via political means (e.g., 25th Amendment, impeachment+removal)
  9. During the Democratic primary race for the 2020 US presidential election, one of Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders or their respective presidential campaigns will criticize Kirsten Gillibrand publicly for her past positions on illegal immigration.
  10. Roger Stone will not be convicted of any crimes for conspiracy to influence the 2016 election through coordination with Russia.

Not until you share your proprietary formula with the group, Einstein.
 
Cool thread idea.

If Trump does run for reelection one or multiple popular Republicans will not only try to primary Trump, if they lose the primary they'll run third party. My next guess is it will be Flake or Kasich to do the dirty work.

I like this, but what is the threshold for "popular"? Would Rand Paul count? Would Trey Gowdy count?

Yes, I would say both count although I'm a little hesitant to include Trey. Rand certainly would count, but that would surprise me as would Trey.

Right so we need to quantify popularity somehow. Even with Flake, he's only well-known because he has spoken out against Trump. I assume you meant someone who was popular before he/she became a vocal anti-Trump Republican.

I'm really skeptical.

I think Mueller is going to criminally indict him, because his crimes are so vast and repulsive. We'll see how it goes down, but no way he gets impeached by Republicans regardless of what is found.

I think there will be extraordinary events unfolding in the next 18 months.
 
Kasich primaires Trump and wins but loses to the Dem nominee

I would say there is a 25% chance Trump quits

Yes, that is what I meant. But given he's popular now, Flake should be in. But I'd include the other Republican candidates that ran in 2016. I'd have to think more about who could be included outside of that group.
 
1. trump is re elected in 2020.
2. the republicans hold senate in 2018.
3. the russia investigation doesn't conclude until after 2019.
4. bernie bros are furious with the 2020 dem nominee.

that's all for now. cool thread.
 
Added: Kirsten Gillibrand will run for the Democratic nomination for president for the 2020 election.
