21. Actually I've been right on Trump every step of the way

I predicted he be the Republican nominee when most other people thought he didn't stand a chance. In fact, I wished for it. Because I knew that there was no way he'd win the general because of the changing demographics of the country and the simple fact that Trump can't help being Trump. That attitude might have served him well when he was pandering to a bunch of ignoramuses and bigots, but it will carry him nowhere in a general election where the electorate is increasingly less white and more liberal.

If Hillary was up against Ted Cruz or another Republican right now, I'd be more worried about her chances. But against Trump? She was always a shoe in.

Therefore, I'm much more likely to listen to my own voice on this than Michael (Romney's going to win, Trump is going to win) Moore.
