Factors that work in Trumps favor:

* Two terms of a Democrat presidency. The last time I remember a party holding on to the white house for more than 8 years was Reagan followed by Bush.

* Hillarys personal problems (Bill) and professional reputation, i.e. personal server and Benghazi, to name only two.

* There are a few other factors I could lis ...[text shortened]... debate forum, I'll let you know what I think of him after (not before) his first year in office.

Yes. They will lose on penalties to Germany.

Belgium to beat Portugal 1-0 in the other semi-final.

I predict it will be a close run thing with a late equalizer followed by a penalty shoot out. And, yes, Real to pip Atletico at the post.
Ah, the time difference where I am has finally resolved itself in terms of events in Europe, and it would seem I got this prediction of the Champions League final exactly right.

It doesn't matter how well Bernie does because the fix is in for Hillary. Bernie is a loyal party man, so I doubt he will go the third party candidate route... he has a lot more to gain (politically) by staying in the game, and then encouraging his followers to vote for Clinton when she becomes the nominee.

But Bernie and Trump are both perceived as establishment outsiders, so Trump might end up getting some of Bernie's supporters. Trump is the only real outsider here, but Bernie supporters regard their candidate as being outside the Washington establishment as well.

Since ptobler had posted the endresult before you did post your "prediction" I Count it as post-diction.
Plus the time given here in the time stamp is regardless of your actual time, so there is no mroom for discussion.

Wow. Nobody predicted Trump to win the Nomination...
That's because no one believes it yet and may never will.

I am in a completely different time zone than you, so when things happen is completely different.

This is almost the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

The time stamps on the messages are all set to the exact time they happen, only the hours are shifted to match each user's time zone. So everyone can tell when each and every post was made and at what exact instant, adjusted for their own time zone, as set in each user's Settings.

You're just not getting what my comment about different time zones is all about.

Time stamps do not determine the order in which messages appear. There is no time machine at work here, messages appear in the order they are posted.
