2016 Prediction Thread

[ultimatebob]

We had fun with the 2015 Prediction Thread last year, so I'm going to start it up again this year. Here are my predictions:

1) Donald Trump will NOT be elected president next year
2) Apple will release a new iPhone that's only slightly different than the old iPhone. People will buy it in droves anyway.
3) A lot of people are going to get pissed off at Tesla for not shipping their Model X cars until around Thanksgiving.
4) Oh, and I'll carry over my predictions from last year. Arabs and Israelis will still continue to hate each other, and Bitcoin will STILL not take off with the general populace.

I was 4 for 4 in my 2015 predictions last year. Let's see if you can do as well!

I'll go out on a limb and have the balls to make some big calls:

1) We will see a VERY big shift in the Healthcare debate. Following everyone's huge health insurance rate increases for 2016 (See the thread on the topic), we are destined for some type of major reform. By the end of 2016, we will at least START a transition process.

2) Jeb Bush will not be the next president. Nor will he get the nomination. I just want to say that since someone made a P&N prediction thread saying he will get the nomination and win.

3) This is probably more so a "By the end of 2015" - but anyhow - a CURRENT major candidate will drop out. Currently, I consider major candidates: Billary Clinton, Trump, and Ben Carson. I'm predicting one of the three will be out by the end of 2015... Or at the very least, significantly drop in the polls.

1) Starbucks will use a green cup (~!!!!!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!!) next year.

2) I get a job
3) I get a new computer

I'm still thinking that Rubio will gets the GOP nomination, but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets it.

Wow, brave picks!! Okay, I'm going to go out even further on a limb and pick wilder, less likely events.

1) The sun will steadfastly continue to rise in the east and set in the west despite the law of averages saying that it's due to happen the other way around any day now.
2) The New England Patriots will be involved in a cheating scandal.
3) Someplace on Earth will have temperatures 1* above normal prompting the left to scream that it's a climate apocalypse while another place will have temps 1* below normal prompting the right to scream that it's all a scam.
4) Some paparazzi will take a picture of Kim Kardashian's enormous ass.

Hey now... there are a lot of (delusional) people who think that Trump is going to win at this point (Note the date, people looking at this in the future).

OK, you want something a bit riskier? I'll go out on a limb and predict that neither Apple OR Google will have their new self driving electric cars ready for the public by the end of next year. We'll probably see some test track sightings of the Apple car by the end of the year, though.

 

[Newell Steamer]

1) I will lose my virginity.
2) The world will end.
3) I'll get better at identifying the gay bars (because figuring it out after making out with the 3rd or 4th guy is just too late frankly).
4) The divide (and defense) of Crazy People v. Terrorists will intensify. Crazy people will be victims of The Media looking to vilify and destroy American Patriots who need mental health assistance. Terrorists are not crazy, they are immune to insanity actually.
5) Toasters will be leading home invasions, to straight Christian homes, and force them to marry and have sex with homosexual toasters. Homosexual Christian homes will be invaded as well, and forced to marry and have sex with straight toasters.
6) Feminazis will spermjack every male in America. Then, they will give birth to pussified men who will be ordered to murder every Alpha male in the USA.
7) Putin will continue to beat up Obama.
8) Hillary will get a penis enlargement.
9) Jesus will continue to weep over the direction this country is headed to.
10) Gift cards, police and bicycles will continue to torment and scare the steaming shit out of ATOT.

1. Americans will complain that their politicians are lying assholes who will sell America to the highest bidder, but vote for Hillary Clinton anyway.

John Kasich later emerges as the G.O.P. Front Runner and wins nomination.
Hillary Clinton Gets Democratic Nomination, Picks Martin O'Malley for VP and wins the election. G.O.P. Blames everyone and everything for costing the election. That is everyone but their own disgusting selves.
Bill O'Reilly announces his plans to retire within 2016 or 2017.
Android phones suffer major (Blaster Worm level) virus attack that will most likely be spread via SMS.

Android phones suffer major (Blaster Worm level) virus attack that will most likely be spread via SMS.

With all of the unpatched phones out there, this is very likely.
