The Presidential Apprentice

[Consuming is good, it's what we're made for]

Predictions for the rest of the cycle: Bennet and Delaney will both drop out after IA. Gabbard will drop out after NH. Patrick and Klobuchar will drop out after SC. Steyer, Buttigieg, Warren, and Yang will drop out after Super Tuesday. Bloomberg *may* drop out after ST if he really underperforms, though realistically he will probably drop out at the end of March. Biden & Bernie take it to all the way to about the end of April.

I've guessed the last two of these correctly, so, I guess I'm some sort of messiah.

I won't follow the Delaney trend, though.

Michael Bennet will drop out the night of Iowa, shortly before news breaks of Delaney dropping out. No dropouts between today and the Iowa caucus, however.

[Slander and/or Libel]

I’m picking Bennet again and one of these times I’m going to be right.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I'm on a roll lately!

I suspect that Patrick is next.

[Mr. Smith]

[Zohran "The Sword of Islam" Mamdani]

Three people correctly chose Delaney. Poll reset.

It's gotta be Bennet this time, right?

[Slander and/or Libel]

[🥥🌴]

Bennet will drop out before IA.

[Mr. Smith]

Stuck between Klobuchar or....

[W]

Bennet

[redjohn]

Bennet will just continue to horribly embarrass himself if he stays in to IA.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I suspect that Patrick is next.

Well, so much for that...

I'm going to jump aboard the Bennet bandwagon. Patrick somehow pulling in some relatively decent fundraising is probably enough to keep him in until after Iowa.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Bennet drops out tomorrow night.

[Slander and/or Libel]

Yang, then Bennet, then Patrick in quick succession. Dammit, this means I will have missed the chance to be correct about Bennet being the next to drop out.

[Mr. Smith]

Good to be right at last with NH regarding Bennet...too bad this got buried.

Okay, next guess,...Warren.

[Zohran "The Sword of Islam" Mamdani]

Oh boy. A lot has happened here since we last ran this poll. Nine people chose Bennet (myself included) and five chose Patrick. None chose Yang. Since they all dropped out within a day of each other, I think it's fair to call that a tie.

Who's next? For the first time since I started this thread, I think we'll see vote distributions at the top of the poll as well.

Don't see how it can be anyone *but* Warren at this juncture. Klobuchar has the suburban women. Sanders is too strong. And there are three moderates of varying degrees with a surname beginning with 'B' to contend with.

Whether she'll drop out after a piss poor Nevada debate -- and, let's face it, she's been downright invisible in the past few -- or a not good caucus result, who knows, but I don't see much of a path.

[Ljube]

Steyer drops out next.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Next will be Gabbard.

[ElectionsGuy]

Warren (after NV)
Gabbard (after ST)
Steyer (after ST)

[W]

Going bold

Warren

[Zohran "The Sword of Islam" Mamdani]

Four people correctly chose Steyer. Poll reset.

Can't decide between Warren and Klobuchar this time.

[ElectionsGuy]

Klobuchar. She's got very little money, and the only factor that's keeping her in is winning her home state. If she doesn't do that on Tuesday, she's dropping out for sure.
