The winners of Contest No. 1 finally announced

Previously, I wrote this:

The winner of this contest will be announced on August 23, and then we will start the next political contest.

None of that is true, in keeping with the 2024 presidential election. I did not announce the winner on August 23. And I may or may not have a next political contest on this site.

But I am announcing the winners now, and they are a sorry bunch of political prognosticators. Here are the entries and their scores:

My predictions:

  1. Trump, Tim Scott, Biden, Harris = 1 right

Can anyone beat my score of one? Here are the other entries:

2. Trump, Kristi Noem, Biden, Harris = 1 right

3. Trump, Elise Stefanik, Biden, Harris = 1 right

4. Nikki Haley, Francis Suarez, Biden, Harris = 0 right

Will the loser of entry 4 with zero right step forward? According to the rules of this contest, you will donate $100 to a charity of my choice. So please sent $100 to Operation Nightwatch.

Contest in flames! None for Vance; all for Biden

Winning the first 2024 madcapschemes.com political contest seemed an easy thing: Name the vice-presidential nominee paired with convicted felon Trump, and you win.

No one did.

The answers included U.S. Sen. Tim Scott from South Carolina, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, U.S. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik from New York, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.

That last guess was paired with Nikki Haley as the GOP presidential nominee What were you thinking? That campaign died like a Noem dog.

And JD Vance? Not a mention of the U.S. senator from Ohio who called Trump “American’s Hitler,” an idiot and reprehensible. Why would anyone pick him back in the day?

But Trump did.

It looked like all who named Trump, Biden and Harris would win, and the Haley devotee would contribute to charities (non-political) of our choices.

Until today. Joe Biden has stepped out of the race to win the presidency in 2024. It looks like the Biden guesses are all wrong.

There’s still a chance that Kamala Harris in the vice-presidential slot could be correct. That will depend on what happens at the Democratic National Convention, which runs from August 19 to 22.

The winner of this contest will be announced on August 23, and then we will start the next political contest.
