- I feel like T.I. will get arrested and go away for 5-10. He's like Hip Hop's Carlito. Great dude that everybody love's but he just cant help but himself in a tight spot.
-Frank Ocean will come back with a sophmore album thats both commercially and critically acclaimed.
-Kanye wil drop Swish and it will be panned as his album that fans old and new care the least about. Not in a slow build, you dont get it yet kind of way (like 808s or Yeezus). But in a, you are no longer musically revelent bcuz you sound like everything else out & you're a shell of your former self kind of way.
-And finally, Instagram will expand its brand to tv in the form of the 1st annual televised IG Awards. Think acceptance speeches for best selfie of 2016, Best nature shot, Most influential Page etc..; Followed by reality shows for the subject media stars with Zuckergerg and Co. at the helm for Exec Producer credit. This will spiral into 2017 Mark Zuckerberg world dominance predictions...

people have been saying that, including me, at every stage of his ascent.
I'll admit, I'm weighting my expectations a bit in accord with the horrificness of the possibility. But it's starting to feel very plausible, especially if Sanders succeeds in dragging out the Democratic primary.
we have no hard voting numbers yet.... we'll see after iowa

I'd put it at 1 to 4 that he'll win the nomination which is scary enough. But I'm thinking it'll be Clinton over Rubio.
It's looking like Jeb Bush has stepped up for the Republicans and gonna try to take one for the team by going after Trump. One of them needs to but it can't be Rubio or whoever the establishment ends up wanting there. This could end up being Jeb's legacy. The guy who took one for the team.
Thing is.....we'd normally say 'just wait. He'll finally say something that ruins him'. But after the John Mccain thing....that's when I realized the guy can basically do no wrong. Everyone else has to watch what they say and avoid scandals. For Trump...those things actually embolden his camp. I've said it here before and I'll say it again....We saw this in Toronto with Rob Ford. How do you win against a guy who's transgressions inexplicably ADD to his momentum? Drunkenly call a cab driver a Paki? Polls go up. Caught smoking crack? Polls go up. It's the cult of personality. Trump figured something out here.....and it's scary as fuck. Even if he doesn't win....you're gonna see campaign strategists employing this method more and more now.
I'm no political scientist....but is this shit unprecedented? He's breaking all the traditional rules of campaign management and it's WORKING.
Or maybe I just don't know shit and this type of phenomenon happens from time to time. Any political scientists here? I'm legitimately scared.

I never believe "This time it's different" in general. What if the only thing that has changed is that we have stared campaigns and polling earlier and that can account for trumps numbers?

good chance trump wins a state so i'm not giving out a 4-1 (on something that i still don't think has any type of chance) if there's no way for me to win.
