Just because the outcome validated your prediction does not mean your prediction was based on foreknowledge of the outcome at the time it was made. It's really that simple. And I'd say the exact same thing on the Hillary side if she had won.
But I see this is over your head. Please continue to believe that you have magical election prediction abilities!
Don't cry. We can't always come out in first place. If it makes you feel better, maybe we can make a special participation award for a special member like yourself.
Saying Trump will win, is not the same as knowing he would win.
it is all an educated guess and none of these people guessed turnout was going to be this low on either side.
Nope. i said last year that thus election would be decided by just 5 things. Jobs vs outsourcing, unnecessary wars of choice, terrorism, illegal immigration, and crooked politicians.
On which of the 5 things did Hillary have any position?

Iwas proved 100% right.
none of which has anything to do with my post, which was about turnout, and you didnt predict that.
Congratulations on the worst logical analysis possible by any carbon-based lifeform on the planet.
You can always retroactively cherry-pick a sample who happened to guess right on an unknown outcome on basis of rote ideological allegiance. Doesn't mean they had some sort of a magic 8-ball in their heads.
Then there are those that didn't have a feel for the true current pulse of America................
Haha over my head? I said that all you had left was personal insult. Your actions speak for themselves as who is correct.
I've been responding with specific, substantive logic to point out why your retroactive attribution bias is a fallacy. You haven't found your way to any sort of a rational response or rebuttal. Saying "I can't hear you; I said in 2015 it would happen; therefore, I KNEW" is not really a rational response. The personal insult stuff is a diversion; I merely said you appear ignorant of basic stats and logic, which so far you have only reinforced in your responses.
Ok, we've dug up most of the threads by people who swore Hillary was going to win. We should take a moment to recognize the posters who actually knew what they were talking about and correctly predicted the election outcome.
Congratulations to these users. Your knowledge and commitment to reality is an inspiration to us all. I'm sure there are many more that I missed. If you know of any such threads, please post them below for recognition.
With regards to C-D eddiehaskell should also be mentioned.
No, that is flat-out wrong. When you call a football game correctly, you got lucky. That's a sample of one. Repeat that experiment many more times and you will find that you don't have some special football game predictive abilities.
All these threads are from partisans who would ALWAYS call a Trump presidency NO MATTER WHAT. In fact, there are many predictions for both sides that are purely partisan.
The election result is binary. There is always be a side that won and within it, a sample that in hindsight was correct.
Doesn't mean they knew something special ahead of time.
This has nothing to do with liking Trump or not; it has to do with basic statistics and logic.
Hated not being mentioned. I was a late comer to supporting President-Elect Trump. I admit it. But, then I'm conservative, you know slow to change. Ahh talk slow, too.
