The “verdict of history” favors Mr. Trump.

Does this pinhead think “the verdict of history” is that Americans must lose their country?

I can’t take anyone seriously who predicted Mondale over Reagan. Gore over Bush? Yeah, I can see it. Mondale over Reagan?

"the most difficult election by far to predict accurately..."

Exactly the words I've been looking for. Those words were used to describe the 1980 race. And then 48 hours before people went to the polls, the undecideds broke overwhelmingly for Reagan.

Because all presidents lately have been politicians or lawyers.

Although the number of ballots cast by voters for each candidate counts, it does not ultimately determine who takes the White House. In a process known as the Electoral College, the candidate who wins a majority of 538 electoral votes...

Why do I get the impression that the author is talking to me as if I were a small child?

If this fellow had studied history he would know that it rarely renders a permanent verdict on anything.

Wasn't there a recent nationwide poll that showed that about two-thirds of Americans think the country's headed in the wrong direction? That can't bode well for The Former Twelfth Lady.

The historical verdict is in. We must become a third world communist hellhole, for some reason.

I’ve said it a million times: Nothing Trump could do as President will be as important as him actually winning the election.

A Trump win would be a death blow to the Left.

More importantly, a Trump loss may result in some very, very nasty days ahead for elected officials on BOTH sides of the aisle...people are getting very, very tired of the government.

Not to mention what it would do to the space-time continuum!

Given the track record of Congress, I’d be all for a little gridlock.

?????????????????????????????????????

The headline writer got it exactly backwards, didn't he?

Lichtman's saying his system predicts a narrow victory for Trump.

But Trump could still "upset the verdict of history and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."

Of course, Lichtmann's a liberal and even ran in a Maryland Democratic senatorial primary, and of course, he doesn't want Trump to win.

But it doesn't look like many people read the article -- including the website that put it on line.
