Also carried by many other news sources like NY Post, Newsweek, CNN etc.
The article says the old coot has “predicted every election since 1984.” It doesn’t say he predicted them correctly.
It’s true, because he just counted the ballots.
Well that sucks...
These are lies. Not one poll in 2016 had Trump winning as I recall.
Yeah like Dewey defeats Truman.
Didn’t he predict Biden would win this presidential election? I’d call that a major failure.
This Rugg guy is suddenly quite the doomer. Rich Baris trashes the partisan Lichtman a lot.
Let’s look into his predictions.
1984. Anyone could see it would have been Reagan
1988. Bush vs Dukakis. Dukakis didn’t stand a chance.
1992. Bush vs Perot vs Clinton. Maybe I’ll give him this one.
1996. Clinton vs Dole. Dole had no energy and Clinton (I’ll give him this one) knew how to move a crowd. Easy call.
2000 Bush vs Gore. Maybe I’ll give him this one.
2004 Bush vs Kerry. Mr Swiftboat was an easy defeat. 90% of people could have called that race.
2008 Obama vs McCain. Duhhhh how could that have even been a prediction.
2012 Obama vs Romney. Double Duhhhh. Was that even a hard call?
2016. Trump vs Hillary. Ok I’ll give him that one
2020. Trump vs the crook. Doesn’t matter because it was stolen.
So that means his track record, by me, is 3 out of the last 10. If you flipped a coin you would have been right on 1.5 of those.
His wonderful track record basically is 1 correct call.
If Harris wins this country is over. Prepare for it.
