Someone said he was wrong about Gore, subtract one.

So, basically this guy was right about two and a half elections. Big whoop.
Then start your own prediction company if it's no big "whoop" and predict the next 7.5 election. I'm sure you'll be 100%, yes indeed.

Something for the hilbots to think about and get worked up over.
Personally I use a system of coin tosses, and slug racing to predict the outcome.

Allan Lichtman: Trump is a 'dangerously precedent-breaking candidate' - Business Insider
Quote:
Question: Why is Trump your favorite to win?

Answer: With respect to my prediction, my "Keys" system is based on 13 true/false questions where an answer of "true" favors re-election of the White House party - the Democrats. They have exactly six "false" keys against them, just enough to predict their defeat.

However, I also noted that Donald Trump is such a dangerously precedent-breaking candidate that he could upset the verdict of history and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The two candidates have been repeatedly fact-checked by independent sources, and his lies vastly outnumber hers.

Did you bother to read the article you posted???

This is from the article:

I believe that given the unprecedented nature of the Trump candidacy and Trump himself, he could defy all odds and lose even though the verdict of history is in his favor.

Wow, let's all go home, Lichtman has spoken.

I'd rather just point out that this "accomplishment" is unimportant and unimpressive for those who thought a "30 year run" meant anything.
