Bill Kristol blows his New Hampshire primary picks — and Twitter won’t let him forget it
Raw Story ^

Posted on 02/09/2016 9:18:46 PM PST by TigerClaws

Weekly Standard founder Bill Kristol was once again the butt of the political joke on Tuesday after his latest faulty prediction — in this case, his take on the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary.

Last week, Kristol forecast a win for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) not too far behind in second and Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich bringing up the rear, tagging his Twitter prediction #NoGutsNoGlory, as seen below:

The GOPe is a collection of folks who have been so consistently wrong...I hate to say it, but they deserve to lose. Rove, Kristol. Of course, they WANT to lose. This way, they have the same job security as the winners but only have to put up the wimpish, feigned McConnell-grade kabuki fight and giving over everything, including the power they really have. Afraid of their own shadows, they are.

Bill Kristol may have caught the Dick Morris/ Tokyo Rove Curse of Failed Prognostication. There is no cure.
The only treatment is to transfer to something like MSNBC.

Sticking with my prediction: Trump will win no caucuses or primaries, and will run behind Ron Paul 2012 in IA and NH.

Since Rubio’s entire argument appears to be “Of course I suck, but I’m the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton”, his bizarre glitch in the debate completely undermines his candidacy. People know that all the Democrats have to do is activate his Talking Doll Mode during a Fall debate, and he could lose, big time.

Here's an honest question.

Has Kristol ever had a correct prediction?

Some pundits should stick to commenting on what has already happened. Maybe they all should.
