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.”

The problem this analyst has is that he does not understand dementia.

It gets worse and worse as time passes.

No presidential candidate has had to deal with it before...

“Hillary Clinton won all three debates, still lost. John Kerry won all of the debates”

No bias there.

It’s not that Biden lost the debate. It’s HOW he lost the debate. That’s something the good history professor just doesn’t get.

As a side note, I’m still very cautious about November. Biden is damaged. But the Democrat cheat machine is not. So we can take nothing for granted.

I don' regard this as a necessarily unwelcome opinion.

Never have I seen a debate where you were wondering if one of them would actually make it to the end.

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:

As we have discussed lets watch the polls going forward.

They don’t make sense—and usually when they don’t make sense there is something going on with them we do not understand.

Debates are not predictive of outcomes.

And voters do not pick the winners. Those who count the votes do. RATs are just better than GOPers when it comes to stealing elections.

Exactly- a not too clever, thinks he’s smarter, using his right predictions (it’s time for him to be wrong- and he will be.He’s a dem machine “professor”) additional sports talk radio thingie. How could anyone, ANYONE remotely compare xiden as being close to Reagan. What a moron!!

Trump should offer to give the maximum amount to Cornel West. I think it could be $2800. It’s called prime the pump. Trump then calls for his followers to give him just $10 like I did. No record of who sent it in but the motive would be obvious. Would Cornel accept the Trump money? Would it matter? He’d definitely take the small donor money.

Time to throw a monkey wrench in their machinery as well as gasoline on their fire.
They no doubt will riot. Just tell them to do it before Jan. 20.

Nov. 6. Trump takes a poll of local law enforcement officers and asks “Do you wanna work for me?” Gonna be awesome.

I think he doesn’t understand the historic significance of this debate. For the first time many Americans had the scales lifted from their eyes and truly saw the amount of brainwashing they’ve been subjected to.

“It’s not that Biden lost the debate. It’s HOW he lost the debate.”

*************

That’s right. It wasn’t so much about losing the debate as it was his inability to debate.

“The problem this analyst has is...”


He is not looking at why Biden lost the debate. Biden lost because he appeared to be a confused dotard not a competent President. Others who he cites winning or losing debates did not embarrass themselves (and the nation) as Biden did. Debates
