Political predictions for past elections don't "age well" or "not age well" when it comes to a new election with different candidates.
It would be like saying, "Hurricane Charley is going to hit Tampa Bay" in 2004 and then saying, "well, that didn't age well" when Hurricane Michael hit the panhandle in 2018. Umm, okay?
Apparently "themoreyouknow" doesn't seem to know that.
No surprise there.
Better than some, apparently. Next are you going to dig up some threads predicting the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the 2016 championship and then claim the thread hasn’t aged well because the Cavs will be worse this year?
Wow this is old. I lean right myself and i didnt vote in 2008, i just didnt like McCain and i didnt like Obama, but the Iraq war was unpopular enough with people on both sides of aisle that anyone could have ran as a Democrat and won the election. Obama had the media worshipping him for being the "first black" nominee but anyone still would have won.

I used to be a Republican back then too, and thought McCain was fine but Palin was a horrible VP choice. If it were Romney/Ryan in 2008 instead, I think the GOP would have had a better showing.
The number of states classified as "Red" is dwindling rapidly, with new defections nearly every day. Just today South Dakota and Arkansas went from Red to Pink. Other states previously Red have long gone first to Pink then to Tossup then to Light Blue. Take a look at the latest map. Red states are rapidly becoming an "endangered species" - and Pink states are not far behind.
Ken I have to almost laugh it this wasn't so pathetic. AR, was blue for generations and just went totally red about 10 years ago, so to put it in the "pink" whatever that means is funny. Now for the up side or the red side, I do not know of a Republican running for any state or federal office that is in any danger or losing the election. Well, maybe a couple of state reps, but certainly not the governor, the house or the senate.
I know it can be deceiving, but land doesn't vote. Think about how many people are in, say, the red state of Idaho or Montana, compared to the blue cities of Los Angeles and NYC. If land voted, then of course the republicans would win by a landslide every single time because the rural areas (where there is lots of land and not lots of people) are almost always red. It doesn't, though; people vote. There are maps available that show the blue vs red votes by population, and of course it's about 50/50, slightly skewed blue. THere are many different ways to show the same data; a bunch of them can be found here: https://www.wired.com/story/is-us-le...election-maps/

This thread didn't age well...
Not much real red left.
