His keys are actually very accurate, but his TDS is so strong he couldn’t listen to his own keys. Biden being forced out of the race by his own party is more than equivalent to a contested primary. No one thinks the Ukraine war is a foreign policy success. And Trump is charismatic in almost every sense of the word. He gets out super low propensity voters who will not turn out for anyone but him, and makes inroads with Latinos in ways Republicans once could only dream of.

@ read my post after this one. I admit 1992 2016 were tough to pick. 1992 had Perot as a third party to make it tricky and 2016 was tough because Trump was inexperienced. However i felt the energy leaning Trump in 2016. If you look at both of those elections, Trump won by a total of 70,000 votes and three swing states and Bill Clinton one with a minority of the vote. Those two were hard to call. But every other election since 1980 were obvious. 2000 was harder but Gore was a horrible candidate. 1972 was easy has hell while 1976 was tough but I’d have picked Carter. Cmon, if you’re a political junkie 90% of President elections are easy. This professor is a pinhead.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

@@Frankaziza1 Keep in mind that in 1982, Reagan's popularity was low and a lot of people thought he would not win re-election, but the keys said otherwise. Obviously the former changed, but even the "easy" elections sometimes weren't easy when he made the prediction. Romney was the favorite until very late in the campaign, even 2004 was far from a guarantee.

Is predicting 8/10 elections even that impressive? Some of them are just obvious.

Alan literally thought the economy was good when that was Americans #1 problem….🙄

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

The economy is objectively good in every way. Inflation is right at the ideal point of 2%, the stock market is booming (don't tell me the stock market doesn't matter, you'd be bragging about it if it were under Trump and it matters for people's 401K), unemployment is at record lows, real wages are rising, US manufacturing is booming, etc.

[@lee58901]

@@Owen_loves_Butters Lol we have a 9.3% credit card delinquency rate (worst since Q1 2012) inflation over 4 years is 20%, and real wage growth since biden got in is 1%. At surface, jobs look good but full time jobs have dropped YoY and a huge reason employment, (a trailing variable) is high is that more americans then ever have a second or third job. Lastly CPI which has gone down is not close to the full picture as deficit spending does not translate into CPI (although it provides QE even if rates are high) and Real estate is not weighed in the CPI index which would show the worst housing market since 2008… Back to school skippy!

[@jakelyons324]

​@Owen_loves_Butters None of those metrics matter for the average person. Most of the flipped voters don't have anything invested in the stock market or even in housing. Inflation may be down but the ratio between prices of goods and median income is drastically higher than it has historically been. Reigning inflation back to normal doesn't change this ratio, and it's what we feel the most. Unemployment is actually rising, and the jobs that are being made are lower paying government jobs rather than those in the private sector, and underemployment (people who are over qualified for the positions they are in) continues to spike. You can say Republicans are lying about the economy to people but the truth is that people vote because their quality of life is either better or worse than it has been, and clearly voting Trump indicates we are unhappy with the state of the US and want change.

[@lee58901]

Also manufacturing has dipped YoY by 250K jobs… And the stock market is a terrible way to judge the economy as in the fall of 2007 the stock market hit record highs one year later Lehman brothers failed… A few NPR statistics later some people believe they are ready to be the next Alan Greenspan, truly stunning.

Exactly. He admitted this in countless interviews he wanted Harris to win. That's when I knew his prediction was bullsh**. In his 13 key model he checked off, "Incumbent charisma: The incumbent party candidate is charismatic or a national hero." He gave the Biden/Harris team that and I'm like WHAT!!! Harris neither Biden are charismatic. He also checked off for them, "Social unrest: There is no sustained social unrest during the term." which is a lie because The Israel/Palestine conflict was a huge form of social unrest in America and around the world in general. I believe this is specifically why Harris narrowly lost Michigan, one of the most heavily populated Arab American states. He checked off for them "Long-Term and Short-Term economy" and he cities a bunch of magazines and articles explaining why inflation is down. But what he didn't realize is perception is everything. Yes inflation maybe down but the average person pockets is still hurting. Purchasing power is down, but he wouldn't understand that because he is rich. So, it was no surprise to me his prediction was totally off. And he's openly called Trump in interview after interview, "A danger to democracy" which tells you he was rooting for the Democrats.

No other Presidents had top generals and their own former cabinet numbers calling them a threat to our way of life. Kamala should have won on the sole basis that she can at least show up to an interview and speak coherently about her resume. The only reasonable explanation is that people were voting for what his identity represents to them compared to hers. Even if it was for the cost of living factor, it's because they instinctively perceive him as the strong male capable of solving problems where in their opinion a woman cannot. There was an overwhelming consensus from economists that Kamala's plan was better at tackling inflation and growing the economy.
