1/ THREAD (Click on "Show this thread") Here is a revised Ultimate Presidential Candidates List for 10/6/18. Major changes at Tier One. Kamala Harris moves into first, followed by Cory Booker as a running mate. Joe Biden moves from first to third followed by Michael Avenatti.
2/ Bernie Sanders remains first on Tier Two, but is considered weak as a primary contender. Eric Swalwell stays at second while Deval Patrick and Adam Schiff switch places based on Schiff's high profile stance against Kavanaugh (i.e., Schiff moves up on spot).
3/ Jeff Merkley continues to dominate Tier Three. Eric Holder follows, having moved down from Tier One. Howard Dean and Kirsten Gillibrand remain the same with Gillibrand considered weak even at this position.
4/ In a major change, Amy Klobucher jumps to first in Tier Four based on her performance in the Kavanaugh hearings. Joe Kennedy III moves down one. Behind Kennedy follow John Delaney and Jay Inslee. Though Elizabeth Warren has thrown her hat in the ring, she moves down one spot.
5/ Tier Five shows a major shift as Elizabeth Warren moves into the spot previously occupied by Amy Klobucher. Chris Murphy, Eric Garcetti and Bill de Blasio maintain their positions.
6/ There are no changes in Tier Six, which is dominated by Terry McAuliffe. Following McAulliffe are Mitch Landrieu, Steve Bullock and Sherrod Brown.
7/ Rachel Maddow and Robert Mueller dominate Tier Seven driven by immense popular support. Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama likewise make serious appearances based on enormous popularity and public service.
21/ A note about The Ultimate Presidential Candidates List for 2020. This is not a wish list. Its purpose is both to predict and to alter outcomes. It is predictive in the sense that it us updated based on print and cable media as well as social media. For example, if a potential
22/ candidate (e.g., Adam Schiff) garners numerous television interviews on highly rated shows that candidate will rise. Similarly, if a candidate performs well in office, that candidate will rise (e.g., Amy Klobuchar in the Kavanaugh hearings). The list is intended to alter
23/ outcomes by providing reliable signals to candidates regarding their viability in the 2020 election. Candidates who maintain high positions are most viable. Candidates who are unable to rise or who have negative notations are least viable. Regarding accuracy and depth of
24/ research, the higher tiers are the most accurate while the lower tiers are extremely long shots with essentially one decimal point above zero viability. Of course, there is no science to this and surprises happen. If anyone would like to communicate with me about the list
25/ please feel free to do so. I would be happy to receive new photographs or new information persuading me to change rankings in the list. Also, this list will be ongoing and will become more accurate as the primaries approach. My contact email is wecanwinagain@gmail.com
1/ UPDATED ACTION ITEM TO STOP KAVANAUGH; The ABA has issued a formal notice requesting that the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings be delayed pending a formal FBI investigation. In the meantime, the ABA continues to rate Kavanaugh as "well qualified." As no federal judge has ever
2/ been confirmed without a "well qualified" rating by the ABA, if the ABA were to rescind this rating (as it did once before in 2006) it could further derail Kavanaugh's confirmation. For all of you who hire lawyers or know lawyers please ask them to contact the ABA to urge the
3/ ABA to immediately withdraw Kavanaugh's rating of "well qualified" and institute a process to reconsider whether this rating is still appropriate after the surfacing of extremely negative information about Kavanaugh during his hearing with Dr. Ford. Of course this request
1/ THREAD (Click on "Show this thread") This is my presidential candidates list for 7/14/18. Changes: Kamala Harris remains top pick. Adam Schiff trades places with Avenatti. Joe Biden moves to third, & Joe Kennedy III moves to fourth. Elizabeth Warren remains at bottom of list.
2/ Michael Avenatti switches with Adam Schiff based on popularity for fighting Trump in court. Ted Lieu remains on the Second Tier displacing Kirsten Gillibrand on a previous list. Cory Booker and Deval Patrick stay the same.
