Election Expert Goes Ballistic After Being Called Out For Predicting A Kamala Harris Win

(Congress Report) – It’s not been a good month for the so-called “Polling Nostradamus,” the man who successfully managed to predict the outcome of many, many presidential races, but not this year’s. I’m talking, of course, about Allan Lichtman, a professor at American University who has spent a number of years being a sort of minor celebrity due to his unique method of predicting presidential elections. His system uses what he calls the “13 keys” to the presidency.

“All of these ‘keys’ while subjective, are straight yes-or-no binary things; no weight is given to one over the other. If you have seven of them, according to Lichtman, you win the presidency. That simple, basically,” The Western Journal reported.

“This all began with Lichtman getting tons of airtime, letting everyone know that Joe Biden was cruising to another four years. It ended with him suffering an election night meltdown on a livestream and then getting schooled by Cenk Uygur — yes, seriously, that ‘Young Turks’ guy — because he was ‘preposterously, stupidly wrong’ and needed ‘a tall glass of shut up juice,’ in a viral clip from Piers Morgan’s show on Tuesday,” the article continued.

To be honest, the video is a real gut buster, but in order to get the full effect of the humor you have to know the backstory.

“First, the ’13 keys,’ which he’s written whole books about and has spent a countless amount of time refining, despite the fact the theory is unusually simplistic post hoc reasoning: party mandate, contest, incumbency, third party, short-term economy, long-term economy, policy change, social unrest, scandal, foreign/military failure, foreign/military success, incumbent charisma, challenger charisma. If you have most of them, bingo, you win,” C. Douglas Golden wrote.

Lichtman started to pop up on television all over the place after the disastrous debate performance delivered by President Joe Biden back on June 27, that ultimately led to his being pushed out of the Democratic Party nomination and replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris. She somehow managed to be a worse candidate than he, a man with cognitive decline, could ever be.

“Debates are not predictive of outcomes,” Lichtman explained. “Hillary Clinton won all three debates, still lost. John Kerry won all the debates, still lost. Barack Obama got trounced 72 to 20 percent in the poll, worse than Biden, and went on to win.”

“It’s a huge mistake,” he stated, concerning conversations about replacing Biden. “They’re not doctors. They don’t know whether Biden is physically capable of carrying out a second term or not. Remember, a lot of folks were saying the same thing about Ronald Reagan, who was, you know, 73, and age was very different then. And they said, ‘You know, he’s not capable of carrying out another term.’ He won 49 states.”

And yet, despite Biden being replaced, Lichtman insisted Kamala had more than enough keys to pull off a victory. He was so confident that he decided to livestream himself and his son on election night as a means of bragging about the win.

But as it turns out, Americans are sick and tired of progressive policies that have destroyed their finances and limited freedom. Instead of picking Harris, they chose Trump. And Lichtman was very unhappy.

“After this, Lichtman seemed to magically find four new keys that explained why he didn’t get it right: disinformation, racism, misogyny and xenophobia!” Golden penned in his article.

“Enter Tuesday, where Lichtman and Uygur were guests on Morgan’s show, along three other lefties: intolerably smarmy social media glibness-spigot Harry Sisson; pugnacious, facile YouTuber Kyle Kulinski; and Juan Williams, who held actual jobs at NPR and Fox News once upon a time, so it’s anyone’s guess why he was there,” the author added. It was during this segment that Uygur completely destroyed Lichtman.

“You’re blaming the voters, I think that’s a terrible idea,” Uygur explained on the show. “I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories about ‘the keys’ were absurd. I was right, he was wrong. I said he’d lose his keys.”

“No, you were not right, and I was not wrong!” Lichtman fired back at Uygur. “And that’s a cheap shot, and I won’t stand for it!”

“Well, who won, brother?” Cenk queried Lichtman. “You live in a total world of denial.”

“I read your own followers’ comments and they all trashed you,” Lichtman remarked as Uygur twirled his finger around his head, indicating just how wacky this was getting. “Every one of them supporting me.”

“Yeah right! You don’t know anything. You don’t know anything. You’re just so deluded,” a cheerful Uygur replied.

“I’ve only been a professor for 51 years, published 13 books. How many books have you published? … You’re personally attacking me. Again, say whatever you want, but I’m not going to stand for it!” Lichtman, continuing his meltdown, commented in response to Uygur.

“Hey Allan, shh! Hey Allan, you deserve a tall glass of shut up juice, so can you just shut up for a second and let someone who knows what they’re doing talk?” Cenk responded, clearly tired of being talked over by an outraged Lichtman.

“I will not sit here and stand for personal attacks, for blasphemy against me! You don’t need to do that,” a raging Lichtman asserted. Seriously? Blasphemy? Does this man legitimately think he’s a “god” or something? Please tell me this man isn’t serious. He’s got to have a mental illness of some sort to have an ego this big.

“Blasphemy against you?” an incredulous Cenk asked. “Who the he** are you? Are you Jesus Christ? You loser!”

Golden then expounded on the matter saying, “Maybe I’d get a bit of a puffed-up ego, but a delusion that I was a legitimate predictor of futures? At best, I’d have came up with a series of criteria that allowed me to get those specific races right. Perhaps some of those criteria could be extrapolated to other races, too. That doesn’t mean I’d continue to get those races right, that doesn’t mean new trends and new information would interject that would throw my predictions off, that doesn’t mean some of my criteria were subjective or would become antiquated, and that certainly wouldn’t mean that — should any of that make my 41st prediction incorrect — the voters were the ones who got it wrong, not me.”

There’s nothing quite as entertaining as watching someone like Lichtman, a man who is completely and utterly detached from reality, get annihilated by another leftist. Watching them devour one another is satisfying to the soul. So much for all that unity they boast about, right?

  1. Some people are just too stupid to realize that they are stupid. Unfortunately, these people always seem to seek leadership positions in the Democrat Party.
