63. I have zero confidence in any type of Rachel Maddow prediction

She specializes in backward, not forward.

I'm sure any details she has are reliable, but not any projection of how they will apply. She is one of the most inept I have ever seen in that regard, and that's why I have so little respect for her. In my realm the requirement is exactly the opposite. Any simpleton dunce can look back. You are evaluated monetarily and otherwise by how well you forecast tomorrow. Rachel relies far too much on day to day details as opposed to the big picture to own any competence as a forecaster.
