Trump has to win otherwise what will all those liberal outlets have to do? If they don’t have Trump then all the media has is glorifying Hillary.
Thanks for doing your own scoring. I read the article about his model this morning and thought his “scoring” was preposterous. Many of the categories are highly subjective and scored very differently based on your leaning. I thought his scoring of major achievements, recession, and scandal (in particular) were outrageous. I agree with your scoring much more than his.
FR, the Free Intelligence Agency (FIA) of a free people.
Good job poconopundit.
I took the professor's methodology and show why the guy is sandbagging Trump's chances to get elected.
The original WaPo story contains the video of his analysis -- or more truthfully his Trump takedown.
red flags about the guy’s legitimacy
He looks to be the usual liberal academic who has to placate the other liberal loons. They always lie to each other.
Current breakdown is 246-186.
After the 2012 election it was 233-199.
After the 2010 election it was 257-178.
All but #7 are false. Blatantly manipulated government statistics are not a valid basis for an answer, and all other indicators indicate a big-D Depression.
I posted this on an earlier thread.
The professors record is based on only EIGHT elections.
1984 Reagan Obvious - a popular incumbent
1988 GHW Bush Not so obvious but was (a Navy Pilot hero)&
VP
1992 Bill C Good guess
1996 Bill C Incumbent & Newt did the heavy lifting
2000 GW no incumbent and Clinton disgraced the office
2004 GW Incumbent and a decent man
2008 Obama Obvious - no incumbent & slick marketing
2012 Obama Obvious - Incumbent
People need to throw all of the goofy “models” and “predications” out the window. The upcoming election is not going to be a normal election and it is unlike any other presidential election we had when America was America with normal citizens and voters. This year’s election is going to be a freak show loaded with massive and “yuge” amounts for voter fraud. We never have had an election where the ruling party was allowed to import foreigners for the election and pump them out as “u.s. citizen” with the right to vote. We’ve never had an election before where 30 to 50 million America-hating, illegal alien freeloaders, criminals and invaders were encouraged to vote by the government.
I read this earlier from another site, shock my head and thought: This guy is stupid, he’s pushing Hillary...
Thanks Poconopundit for detailing why I thought that...
Great article...
Technically, we may not be.
But, I think there are a lot of people out there that FEEL they are in a recession, for a variety of reasons.
So, I'd rate this one "half True".
Like all liberals, the professor becomes conflicted and discombobulated when confronted with a sobering fact that is predicated upon his own line of reasoning, yet conflicts with his utopian worldview.
Painted himself into a corner, didn’t he? Heh...
The “expert” had to discredit his own method when he got the result he didn’t want. This often happens in academia.
Well done!
5 & 6 are faked statistics. Currently in a depression for the bottom 95% which would be evident with soup lines and massive homeless camps if not for EBT, section 8 housing, etc.
