He has nailed nearly every presidential race. Here’s what he thinks about Trump-Biden debate.

The man who correctly predicted nine of the last 10 presidential elections — including that Donald Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton — has some thoughts about the recent debate.

Chill out, Democrats. And maybe stop listening to the talking heads on TV.

From Lichtman:

“All of these pundits and pollsters, and panelists that you see on all the cable channels and all the networks, have no track records in predicting elections. And if they come on and they claim they know how this debate is going to affect elections, they have no idea. It’s sports talk radio. It may be entertaining, but it has no scientific basis,” he said.

And on the debate’s impact on the race?

“Zero. Debates are not predictive of outcomes. Hillary Clinton won all three debates, still lost. John Kerry won all of the debates, still lost. Barack Obama got trounced, 72%-20% in the poll, worse than Biden and want on to win,” he said. “Democrats’ really only chance to win, contrary to everything you’ve heard, is with Biden running.”

I stopped reading right there. What a waste of a few seconds of my life.

It’s about the ballot counters and the magical ballots. Anything else doesn’t matter and the democrats have the cheating down to a science. Illegal alien voters, “broken water pipes” mysterious boxes stashed under tables, taping paper over the observation windows, Dominion Voting Machines. Unsupervised drop boxes counting votes weeks after erection day, ballot harvesting.

Had to be likability. Those 2 had about as much as Al Gore.

I'm going to be VERY charitable and say I think the Professor is trying to keep an easily defeatable biden in the race, rather than having him replaced by someone who isn't quite as bad...

He's completely ignoring what everyone else witnessed: Biden's inability to debate. That's what was on full display. Even Trump was taken aback by it and didn't know how to respond to Biden's unintelligiable gibberish.

[Dementia does not matter. In polls conducted after the debate, Biden still performs no worse than all other options, despite voters overwhelmingly saying he is too weak and disabled to continue. Look at this latest poll out yesterday from Data for Progress, a hard left group:]


Some Republicans think he has dementia. Do Democrats think he does? This is a mirror image of views about Trump. Democrats think Trump is one rung below axe murderer. Republicans don’t.

They will print the votes they need and pretend to be surprised.

And Republican cowards will say nothing.

It’s a fifty / fifty shot (at worst) for every presidential election and getting 90% isn’t all that impressive considering the amount of people making predictions and the fact that most elections have a fairly obvious outcome
And Clinton did not win all 3 debates either

Did the Democrats talk about replacing Obama after his bad debate? Of course not, because everyone knew it didn’t reflect his true level of competence. Biden’s disaster is different because it confirms what everyone already knew or strongly suspected about him. It blew up the dam that had been holding back serious discussion of Biden’s mental fitness to be the candidate.

This guy is such a biased , partisan Democrat, he cannot come to terms with the impression Biden left not with the pundits but the voters. The Democrats who continue to support Biden are delusional. They all know that the fraud has to increase greatly for them to retain power.

I’d rather trust an octopus to predict soccer winners.

“Hillary Clinton won all three debates, still lost.”

Laughable. Trump slaughtered her. “Because you’d be in jail”, and having all of Clinton’s rape victims on the front row. When she brought up Trump minimizing his taxes, he came back with you wrote the tax code and you could fix it, but you won’t because your rich friends don’t want you to.

Hillary showed herself as corrupt and incompetent.

In now way could anyone say Hillary won any debate.
