I got 44 of 75 persons in the right position. I had the exact percentage 16 times. I missed by 1% 12 times, 4% or less off 48 of 75 times. Biden's combined percentages added up came to 566 with 16 races. It was 550 with the 15 races. Tuesday's races include some of the same states from 4 years ago. It's not much fun predicting the winners of a 2-way race. Gabbard is still in the race but she's so far down she's in Rocky De La Fuente territory. So I'll base numbers on 98% instead of 100%. It's going to rain in Mississippi. Biden voters will stay home since there's no doubt of victory. Biden 73 Sanders 25 The weather is good in Idaho Tuesday. Sanders will have a huge victory as he did 4 years ago. Sanders 61 Biden 37 North Dakota voted last in 2016 but Sanders won overwhelmingly anyway. No doubt they're voting early this year so he can get a big win while he still has a chance. Sanders 59 Biden 39 Sanders won Michigan 49-48. I predicted he'd lose 51-49. So I had his percentage right but his position wrong (as I did a few times already this year). Sanders has gotten less everywhere even in victory and there's no reason to think Michigan will buck the trend. Black voters in the north are not like black voters in the south, If Biden has yet to gain the votes of northern blacks he'll find out here in time to correct the situation. Either way I think Sanders slips just a little. A viable third candidate would have made Sanders the winner. Biden 53 Sanders 45 Missouri is forever listed as a tie in 2008 and they were recounting for days when Bernie gave up in 2016. So expect another close race. Sanders loses again. Biden 50 Sanders 48 Washington state votes Tuesday as well. That's a little earlier than last time because they want Sanders to win while he still has a chance. Perhaps they were hoping Jay Inslee would still be in the race, needing a win more desperately than Bernie. Biden's weakness on the west coast will remain evident. Sanders 71 Biden 27.
I was right about North Dakota, Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan, getting Biden's exact percentage in Michigan and North Dakota. Bernie leads in Washington with a lot of counting to do. I was wrong about Idaho. This weekend the Northern Marianas votes They vote this weekend. They still hate Communists, so Bernie is not likely to do better than his 34% in defeat from 2016. The question is whether Tulsi Gabbard has any strength there. I think she does. That may be why she's still in the race. Obviously some people are pushing hard for Sanders to give up now. I'm hopping mad about that, against one person especially. Gabbard is showing us that it barely matters if there's no hope. However, consider this. If you win 5 caucuses or primaries you get to make a speech at the convention. Bloomberg can't do that with only American Samoa. If Gabbard had won American Samoa, then took the Northern Mariana Islands this Saturday, then Guam, her home state of Hawaii and one more territory (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands) she could speak to the convention. That's worth a try. I think she expects a lot of votes there. So this is a 3-way race this weekend. Biden 45 Sanders 30 Gabbard 25
Someone passed this on to me -- don't know the original source. Seems pretty plausible ... I mean, they CAN'T nominate a man with rapidly-advancing dementia, c'mon. ====================================== Who does not want Bernie Sanders to get the Democrat nomination?

Answer: Hillary. Remember, you read it here first.
I was wrong about the Northern Marianas, except that Gabbard would be third. I don't take credit for that anywhere else. This was her last real hope to get back in the race. Ohio joined the country in 1803, the first non-slave state (because there were still some slaves in all the northern states as laws phased it out for young slaves but older ones were still serving for life. That meant the state was full of people who disliked slavery and bigots hoping never to see a black person. Most of the bigots moved west, so it became a hotbed for abolitionists and the underground railroad. The Republican Party started strong there and the state produced 7 Republican Presidents (2 of the worst and 5 average). The Democrats have never controlled the state, but Hillary's victory over Bernie made her think it was hers. Hillary dominated the big cities. Bernie got everything else. Biden may do better in the suburbs and farms: Biden 56 Sanders 42 Illinois dominated the region because of the rivers and Chicago became a huge commercial center. Democrats took control of Chicago but only in this century did the state turn blue. The new Mayor of Chicago may not understand the fraud and may see no reason to cheat, so this might be the most honest primary there ever. Bernie has some towns he will obviously dominate but Biden has Chicago with or without Obama's help and may take many suburbs for a clear victory: Biden 53 Sanders 45 President Monroe bought Florida from Spain in 2 stages, ending his only diplomatic challenge. The state joined the union in 1845, giving the slave states their last mathematical advantage. It joined the Confederacy but saw no fighting in the Civil War. After the war Democrats took over, but the GOP did start winning one district in 1952. It became a big swing state, never fully Republican like other old Confederate states. Hillary won nearly as big as in other southern states, so Biden looks safe, but the one thing Sanders has done differently this time is making an outreach to Latinos. Florida has every kind of Hispanic and Latino there is. Sanders certainly will find limited support from Cubans who escaped his friend Castro's despotism, but might do well with the many other groups. That won't be enough. Biden: 58 Sanders 40 Arizona is Sanders' best chance for a win Tuesday. He knows that and may have made a major effort there. Arizona is the 48th state, added in 1912. The Latinos there are mostly Mexicans and some are from Mexican families that were there when the US took the land in 1848. There are also Indian reservations. Sanders became the first candidate ever to visit a reservation 4 years ago. When they vote, they vote as a unit. He should win northern Arizona easily. Arizona is a swing state and it may take a long time to count all the votes, but Bernie always loses the close ones so: Biden 50 Sanders 48,
I was right about all 3 primaries last week. Sanders won Democrats Abroad, so I picked the wrong top 2 but had Warren, Bloomberg and Gabbard right as 3, 4 and 5. Bloomberg had the 2% I predicted and Buttigieg, though out of the race, got the 1% I originally predicted. At the moment I've been wrong about the winners 9 times of 27. For super Tuesday I ended up with 47 of 80 in the right position. Biden got 22% in Democrats Abroad. The percentages I assigned Biden in the 16 March 3 contests add up to 530. He got 575. Was anyone else less than 3% off?
Hillary last minute announcement running for POTUS 2020 after Pence and Trump die of virus and Pelosi (while interim President) appoints Hillary as VP of course it will be difficult to vote while the country is on fire and in total civil war but everything will work out in the end, you will see
Apparently they are voting today in Wisconsin. People are scared to go to the polls. Absentee ballots must be postmarked today. Those 300 deaths might all be in Wisconsin. So who will win? There's no need to vote for Biden. He'll win without your help. There's no need to vote for Sanders. He'll lose anyways. Sanders supporters are young, lazy but devoted and think they can't die. Biden voters are older, tired, scared and have no enthusiasm. turnout should be lower than ever, with people that thought they'd be voting next week or in June or never. Sanders 58 Biden 42.
I wrote that yesterday on Facebook, then left, didn't return to the computer until 2 hours ago. I still think Bernie will win that and other primaries to come.
Yup. April 7th was indeed our election day. Some were, other's weren't. Correct. What 300 deaths? Win what? The Dem primary?? Bernie won it in 2016, but he has less momentum this time around (outside of Dane County, anyway). It doesn't matter anyway, since the Democrats tell their supporters who will be the nominee instead of letting their supporters decide like the Republicans do. Correct. Some aren't, but many of them are. Some aren't, but many of them are. Probably. That should favor Daniel Kelly for State Supreme Court. Yup. You can thank Governor Evers for creating that confusion, as he spent weeks telling us that the election was going to go on as planned, then he tried to change that at the absolute last minute (literally, the day before). Then there's people whining about not getting their absentee ballots. Ummmmm, PLAN AHEAD MAYBE??? That's what I did. We'll see. Like I said, I don't think Sanders had the momentum that he had in 2016 (besides Dane County, who absolutely loves the guy). I wouldn't be surprised if he still won though, due to Dane County. The only part of the ballot that I cared about was the State Supreme Court race, and I made sure to vote for the conservative justice. I also voted for Trump.
I meant 3000. I was in a hurry and have eye trouble. I know if someone caught the virus Tuesday he won't know he's sick until next Tuesday, and it won't kill him before next Thursday. They predicted 3000 deaths this week from corona virus. I predict less and want a recount either way. Do you have stats on turnout?
Obviously I was wrong about Wisconsin and wrong about Alaska, but Sanders got 44% in Alaska anyway. It is possible Bernie had insiders with some numbers from Wisconsin and sensed he'd lose Alaska too. There's no way to make a comeback without direct contact with the voters, a debate to embarrass your opponent or aggressive ads. Still we know who he is and what to expect: less everywhere than in 2016. That still could have meant wins in places he won overwhelmingly last time, like Wyoming, where they vote today. I would have picked Sanders to win about 55-45 under ordinary circumstances. With no race it should be 99-1, shouldn't it? If it's 60-40 Biden it will tell us that-as in the case of Trump near the end in 2016-Biden gets only about 10% extra unopposed. I think Biden will get less than 60% today in Wyoming, revealing for the first time that unity is not achieved just because there's no active competition.
Just came to be petty and gloat that my prediction that Biden would walk away with the nomination was only wrong in that I underestimated just how badly he would beat Bernie. Peace out.
