Looks like the 2016 election might be a lot more boring than anticipated.

Wow, that's something. I'm almost more surprised at how well Rubio did.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

(sees trump wasn't elected)

YES, YES! GOD IS REAL! HE IS!

(Sees ugly-azz lookin Cruz won)

NO! GOD, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WANTED THE END TO COME QUICK. THAT WON'T HAPPEN WITH CRUZ.


Ugh..............................

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Yeah? Because one of the guys who was in a virtual tie in the polls leading up to the caucus won?

I don't get it. Why Cruz? Out of everyone, him? Do the evangelicals seriously have this much power on deciding who gets nominated?

In super-religious Iowa? Yes. Though, to be fair...The Iowa caucus has accuratley predicted who the Republican Nom is going to be in quite a long time.

Does anybody outside of politicians and cable news pundits actually give sh*t about the Iowa caucuses? They mean absolutely _nothing_ to the final outcome of the national Presidential race.

In 2008 Mike Huckabee won Iowa by a pretty big margin. How'd that work out for him?
In 2012 Rick Santorum eeked out a win (but Romney mistakenly got all the press as the winner) Again, how'd that work out? Let me go ask President Romney...



Not really surprising, if you saw the polls before the voting started it was pretty close.



Cruz... sigh. So we go for the 2nd lowest denominator?



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
