Then I remember back to 2016 when Killary Clinton was being lauded as the great Messiah who was “so far in front” that MSM and the ABCNEWS political reporters were literally salivating at the prospect of watching Donny being crucified by all those smart thinking Yank voters.26 Sept 2016 — With the presidential election just weeks away, Donald J. Trump is predicted to win, according to American University Professor Allan Lichtman.With the presidential election just weeks away, Donald J. Trump is predicted to win, according to American University Professor Allan Lichtman. Lichtman’s “13 Keys” system predicts the winner based on the performance of the party and not the use of candidate preference polls, campaign strategies, or events.
“The Keys point to a Donald Trump victory, and in general, point to a generic Republican victory.
The system predicted President Obama’s re-election in 2012, as early as 2010. In 2005, with the presidential election nearly three years out and neither party with a chosen nominee, Lichtman declared that the Democrats would retake the White House no matter which candidate—Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John Edwards—captured the Democratic nomination.
The system also predicted George W. Bush's 2004 reelection as early as April 2003, Al Gore’s popular vote victory in 2000, Bill Clinton’s win in 1996, George Bush’s defeat in 1992, the outcome of the 1988 presidential election when Michael Dukakis was well ahead in the polls and the 1984 outcome.
