“Country’s burning, economy isn’t doing so great and we’re in the middle of an insurrection.”

You’re kidding me right?

I felt worse when that POS Kenyan won in 2008. NOTHING comes close to my misery index.

I would like to disagree . . . But can’t

I absolutely love your date of Sept 1, 1939. I have not seen that before but it is brilliant, timely and spot on. I will have to steal it.

“I think the economy is stronger than ever.”

I’m an elderly cripple. I pulled into the drive-up window at Popeye’s, and the woman who gave me my chicken offered me a job.

If Trump wins but is powerless, that’s still better than the damage that could be done by Biden/Harris/whoever.

Of your concerns the one that worries me most is vote fraud. The paper ballot scam is ripe for it.

Betting odds are even more predictive and Trump was leading until Floyd protesters and riots. Now behind in betting odds

Betting odds also massively favored Hillary. Made me some nice $ on that deal.

Sadly this is ridiculous.

First of all this model is based on the good economic numbers back in October 2019—not the economic disaster we have right now.

Secondly backfitting new models to what historical data shows is notoriously sketchy. By definition a model that is carved around past results is easy to find, but not at all proven in a predictive sense. A model only has real legitimacy if it has been used repeatedly to hypothesis results—and then repeatedly turned out to be correct.

My model predicts a big Trump win on Election Day 2020, with what the math says is over 90% confidence. However, I have only minimal real-world confidence in any model this year. Between Trump Derangement Syndrome, riots/looting/arson, COVID-19, and the fully-deranged media, this election may not be comparable to previous election years that these models are using for data.

President is not powerless so long as he/she has the veto power. That makes it lot harder to override the veto.

Trump is fearless, he will use veto if he thinks it is needed, unlike Reagan who seldom used it.

Yes, between mail in ballots everywhere and people afraid to get out to vote due to covid-19, this election is unpredictable.

4.5 months to election day. I think it is enough time for economic rebound. Stocks are already recovering nicely. My portfolio was worth more last Friday than the highest value before covid-19 chaos appeared.

Actually the most effective models for November presidential elections are based on circumstances in May of that year, not near November. And I think you’re in fantasy land if you think we’re gonna dig out of double-digit employment by then. After the $600 per week topper is gone in July many of those unemployed are going to become desperate. And I fully expect the Big Pharma/Fauci/Gates crew to serve up another attempted lockdown, complete with more nasty virus to assure mail-in voting.

As has been pointed out, this is “history data” that is, it is 10 months old. The election is five months away, which is a lifetime in political terms.

Today the stock market (S&P) is down from its high in February by 10% and likely to be much lower in November. Unemployment is at 13% today and most estimates seem to put it at 10% by election date. No president has been elected since WWII with anything close to a 10% unemployment rate.

I want Trump to be our next President as bad as the next person, but if you look at the facts today, it does not look good — at all.

Five months is a lifetime. While you might “feel” that Trump will be the next President, the facts don’t bear that out today.

If Americans are so naive, then yes, Trump will lose.
