You were right about the ultimate outcome, though some of your predictions that it's going to be as easy for her as it was for Schumer or Lankford in their Senate races, were a bit too overboard. It wasn't a cakewalk and several of Hillary weaknesses as a candidate were shown, even though her only opponent was Bernie Sanders of all people.

That being said, contrags Smiley Now onto to general election.

To be fair, I never said she would win all 50 states, or even win without breaking a sweat. The only thing I guaranteed was that she would eventually be the victor, partially because she had so much padding that she could afford to lose tons of support and still come out ahead.

That said, you are correct I definitely did underestimate Sanders. For most of 2015 I figured he'd win a few caucuses and maybe NH then drop out.

I congratulated you in March and you still deserve that. But don't forget you posted this at one point:

I will admit Sanders' strength in NH is impressive and far exceeded my expections. Hillary might only win 48 states instead of 49. Wink

48 states presumably meaning everything but NH/VT.
