Four years from today, who will be.....?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

...president of the United States? Betting on Jeb Bush now. I still have a hard time seeing the Dems win for a third time in a row.

If Jeb Bush were the nominee, he'd have a shot at winning, but I just don't see how he could make it thru the primaries. 

I will take some accolades now.  Not all accolades as I foolishly said he had a shot in the general election if he could only get there, but accolades nonetheless.

...president of the United States? Hillary Clinton
...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel
...president of France? Nicolas Sarkozy
...prime minister of the UK? Angela Eagle
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (despite me thinking Malcolm wins tomorrow)

A few bolters, but meh.

[Mr. Morden]

...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (despite me thinking Malcolm wins tomorrow)

Shorten's going to hang on as ALP leader even if they lose the election this weekend?  (Not saying that's not true, I just haven't really thought about it.)

...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (despite me thinking Malcolm wins tomorrow)

Shorten's going to hang on as ALP leader even if they lose the election this weekend?  (Not saying that's not true, I just haven't really thought about it.)

If it's close enough I suspect he will, yeah.

...president of France? Nicolas Sarkozy
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Malcom Turnbull

Congrats.  You were the only person in this thread to guess Donald Trump for POTUS, who now looks likely to be the right answer.  Of course, none of the people posting in 2013 got it right.

[Mr. Morden]

Also, no one guessed Theresa May for UK PM until after the Brexit vote took place, though Crabcake came close:

UK: David Cameron, ready to hand over to Theresa May.

...president of the United States? Donald Trump
...chancellor of Germany? Sigmar Gabriel
...president of France? Francois Fillon
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Malcom Turnbull

[Lachi]

...president of the United States? Donald Trump (might not be president in the next year if he loses the election)
...chancellor of Germany? No clue
...president of France? Francois Fillon
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau (wins in a landslide (200+), and wins nearly a majority of the popular vote)
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (Turdbull's poor choices will come back to haunt him)

[Middle-aged Europe]

Sigmar Gabriel. LOL.

[morgieb]

...president of the United States? Hillary Clinton
...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel
...president of France? Nicolas Sarkozy
...prime minister of the UK? Angela Eagle
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (despite me thinking Malcolm wins tomorrow)

A few bolters, but meh.

Well this is off to a bad start. Clinton and Sarko lost and Eagle got cold feet.

President of the United States- Trump
Chancellor of Germany- Merkel
President of France- Fillon
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom- May
Prime Minister of Canada- Trudeau
Prime Minister of Australia- Shorten

[Mr. Morden]

One month to go until the four year anniversary of this thread’s creation.  Many people who were guessing back in 2013 got Merkel right, and a few got Trudeau right.  No one else who was guessing within the first month of this thread’s creation got any of the other ones right.  Heck, regardless of who wins the French runoff, no one even got the correct political party on that one. 

Props to change08 though, for correctly (assuming he isn’t ousted within the next few months) guessing Turnbull in his post from Sept. 2013:

This threat fundamentally proves that conventional wisdom is almost totally dead in world politics. With that in mind:

...president of the United States? Tom Perriello
...chancellor of Germany? Martin Schulz
...president of France? Emmanuel Macron
...prime minister of the UK? Boris Johnson
...prime minister of Canada? Maxine Bernier
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Bhorten?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This thred shows how pointless such speculations are and if somebody's right, it's mostly a good luck.

[The Lord Marbury]

Looking back in this thread, if any of my predictions are even close to being right I will give up beer for a year.

President of the United States: Steve Bullock (eh, at least it's more original than Trump or Warren)
Chancellor of Germany: Angela Merkel (on her way out, with Hannelore Kraft winning the subsequent election)
President of France: Emmanuel Macron
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: Theresa Villiers (May will likely be gone around this time and I have no idea who'll succeed her (it won't be Boris), so why not?)
Prime Minister of Canada: Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister of Australia: Bill Shorten

...oh and just for sake of guessing:
Prime Minister of Sweden: Magdalena Andersson

[Maxwell]

President of the United States- Donald John Trump
Chancellor of Germany- Angela Merkel
President of France- Emmanuel Macron
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom- Theresa May
Prime Minister of Canada- Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister of Australia- Bill Shorten

[Antonio the Sixth]

...president of the United States? Hillary Clinton
...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel
...president of France? Alain Juppé (please...)
...prime minister of the UK? Is that McDonnell guy talked about as more likely to succeed Corbyn? If so, hopefully him.
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Malcolm Turnbull

Two of them are already proven wrong, and another in all but name. I got Trudeau right, and I guess Merkel and Turnbull might still work out (though hopefully not!).

[Phony Moderate]

...president of the United States? Kamala Harris
...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel
...president of France? Emannuel Macron
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May, but way behind in the polls to John McDonnell's Labour (hopefully)
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Anthony Albanese

[Lachi]

...president of the United States? Trump (It won't be election day 2020 at this point)
...chancellor of Germany? Who knows at the moment
...president of France? Emmanuel Macron
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten

[Mr. Morden]

...president of the United States? Trump (It won't be election day 2020 at this point)

Huh?  Four years from today will be April 2021, three months after the inauguration of whoever won the 2020 election.

[brucejoel99]

...president of the United States? Mike Pence (succeeded to the Presidency following the July 2019 resignation of Donald Trump; defeated the Democratic challenger, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, in the 2020 presidential election)

...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel (has already announced she wouldn't seek re-election to a 5th term)

...president of France? Emmanuel Macron (hovering around 40% approvals, & climbing; expected to run for re-election in 2022 (& defeat most candidates in 2nd-round hypotheticals))

...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May (not yet gone but behind Yvette Cooper's Labour in the polls prior to the expected May 2022 general election)

...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau (headed for a third majority in 2023)

...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (Labor's 2019 victory had mirrored the Coalition's 2016 narrow margin victory with 76 seats & the Liberal Party again switched leaders: back to Tony Abbott, who in 2021 is expected to (again) defeat Labor at the 2022 election)

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

...president of the United States? Mike Pence (although could be Trump or a Democrat)
...chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel
...president of France? Emmanuel Macron
...prime minister of the UK? Theresa May
...prime minister of Canada? Justin Trudeau, although he should be on a reduced majority or minority.
...prime minister of Australia? Bill Shorten (sigh...)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

President of the United States: Darryl W. Perry
President of Syria: Mike Assad
