he is a socialist...grrrrr Let's just keep disregarding him...
Listening to Coast to Coast AM last night and fell asleep. They were talking about a computer generated software that has been correct every time for who would be elected. They said that Bernie Sanders was the top one of all candidates on both sides....but...would probably not make the election because of that socialist thing...
" In the first half, futurist Paul Guercio and physicist Dr. George Hart, who developed a software-based forecasting technology called the Merlin Project, shared their timetraks (Merlin's graphical snapshots) of the crowded field of US presidential candidates in the 2016 race. Based on a starting date (in the case of a person their birth), the timetraks graph out periods of cyclical intervals, showing peak activity, as well as lulls. Surprisingly, most of the candidates' timetraks do not show a great deal of activity during this time frame. Hart noted that this was an unusual election cycle, a populist stage on both sides, and the end of a 72-year cycle, when there's typically a big turnover.
While Biden showed high activity spikes in the years 2007-2012, his chart is flat now, and Hillary's timetrak doesn't pick up until after 2017. Two Democrats with stronger charts in this cycle are Andrew Cuomo (who has not declared his candidacy) and Bernie Sanders, who has the highest peaks of any candidate, but perhaps is unlikely to succeed because of his 'Socialist' status, said Guercio. Carly Fiorina has the best cycle of the Republicans, which may indicate she could be the VP candidate. Both Donald Trump and particularly Jeb Bush have low activity in this cycle. Guercio predicted that Hillary will falter, and Mark O'Malley and Andrew Cuomo will be the Democratic ticket, while Hart foresees Trump and Fiorina on the Republican side." http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2015/09/08
I knew Bernie would be on top. "unlikely to succeed because of his 'Socialist' status." What else they gonna say. They have nothing else...Go Bernie...that Merlin project has been pretty right on before. Of course they had to interject their opinion. Go Bernie!!!

(5,792 posts)They talk about how the project has been right most of the time. They then say it's Bernie on top. Then they have to preface it with well or but...But their software says it's Bernie

(21,846 posts)Yet the software creators say ignore that Bernie prediction, right?
That's how I understand the OP.

(5,792 posts)admit that Bernie is gaining traction. I think they would be shocked if he won. I am full of hope. Yes that is what they are saying...some people....they look pretty dumb!
