2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: WSJ: "Clinton Might Not Be the Nominee" [View all]BzaDem
(11,142 posts)8. Perhaps some people should take a look at who the author is before they K&R.
Schoen said that President Obama should not seek reelection in 2012. He has stated that the President has divided the country along partisan lines, and said that the Affordable Care Act had been a "disaster" for the Democratic Party.[3][4]
Schoen has been critical of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he wrote, "President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movementand it may cost them the 2012 election."[3][10] He believes that the protesters represent "an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence," and that their common bond is "a deep commitment to left-wing policies."[3][10] Schoen believes that the Democratic Party should not appeal to voters who support taxing oil companies and the rich, but rather to voters in the middle who want lower taxes.[3][11][12][13]

The polls have been spot-on. Especially the exit polls! Can't wait to see the California exit polls.

I didn't say I liked Schoen. And I did know about his escapade in Venezuela.
