His last 3 books(13 keys to the White House) before the Presidential elections and he's been right every time as far as the popular vote.

Since 1984, 2000 is the only coin toss election. the rest were fairly predictable

After all, Mr. Lichtman has been spot on regarding every election. I don't know why we even bother. Nothing ever changes. The past is destiny. Winning an office is hard.

On the other hand, it is all bull.

The choice to me is let's wait for HRC to work her magic and keep things going the way they are or we can take a shot with Battling Bernie and try to make things better. Based on seventy years on this planet I think I'll go with Bernie.

Give the finger to the establishment and try to make this country better, not just okay.

Obama will not endorse the Democratic candidate until the conclusion if the Democratic convention.

I suggest you post this in GD/P as it will surely get locked in this forum.

I very much doubt that Hillary will be the nominee, hence there is doubt.

Anything at all related to the Dem primaries needs to be posted in GD P.
