Full title: Trump is headed for a win, says professor who has predicted 30 years of presidential outcomes correctly

Nobody knows for certain who will win on Nov. 8 — but one man is pretty sure: Professor Allan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted every presidential election since 1984.

When we sat down in May, he explained how he comes to a decision. Lichtman's prediction isn't based on horse-race polls, shifting demographics or his own political opinions. Rather, he uses a system of true/false statements he calls the "Keys to the White House" to determine his predicted winner.

In a few weeks Trump will be the president-elect.

The NeverTrumpers need to get over of it.

The people who warn against over confidence need to get over it.

The people too scared to know what winning is like need to get over it.

Those imagining all kinds of cheating, stealing, or other disasters need to get over it.

The democrats need to get over it.

Trump will be the president-elect in just a few weeks. Get over it!

Aside: Hillary Clinton losing probably means the Obama camp rules the DNC.

Look forward to the establishment of the Obama Foundation....

The big question is, it is Friday afternoon. The debate is Monday. Where is Wikileaks? I would expect a bombshell. Any minute.

I was thinking the same thing. Unless he has only one more bullet, then he waits.

And I hope President elect TRUMP holds daily briefings and press conferences from the "Office of the President Elect". Let that stick in Barry's craw! :)

Actually you will see the violence drop dramatically once the election is over. This is a stage managed “get out the vote” effort in Minority communities. BLMs funding will vanish once they fail to put Hillary in the WH. Just like the Occupy movement, they are only useful as long as Dems can use them.

What you will see instead is a full court press to get a couple of squish GOP Senators to flip parties and give Dims the Senate.

The professor’s 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

Donald Trump has made this the most difficult election to assess since 1984. ... Donald Trump may well break patterns of history that have held since 1860.

Ok, that does it. I'm waiting for Bubbles the Elephant's prediction.

Meant to add:

Trump is going to win because he is the right man for this moment of crisis in our history. He is not a ‘trained or tainted politician’. He pursued his dreams, created employment and livelihoods for thousands of citizens. Paid high taxes - because of his financial acumen.

Raised great children. None of his clients or competitors have complained or criticized his MO.

TRUMP vs Tyranny

Per the site:

He's the first candidate in our history to be a serial fabricator, making up things as he goes along.
Even when he tells the truth, such as, "Barack Obama really was born in the U.S.," he adds two lines, that Hillary Clinton started the birther movement, and that he finished it, even though when Barack Obama put out his birth certificate, he didn't believe it.
We've never had a candidate before who not just once, but twice in a thinly disguised way, has incited violence against an opponent.
We've never had a candidate before who's invited a hostile foreign power to meddle in American elections.
We've never had a candidate before who's threatened to start a war by blowing ships out of the water in the Persian Gulf if they come too close to us.
We've never had a candidate before who has embraced as a role model a murderous, hostile foreign dictator."

Everyone of that guy's assertions is B.S. Yeah, he's ripping Trump, while making up stuff that the left parrots. But anyway, if he's saying Trump will win, it looks like the leftists are realizing that Hillary is a lousy candidate.

Lichtman’s been infuriating me with his leftwing propaganda for years - finally something I can agree with him on......
