Anonymous Forecasting pioneer predicts H(...) 09/05/24(Thu)17:54:57 No. 1338859 Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted every election. And has only been 'wrong' once, and that was in 2000 when the Republican supreme court stole the election for Bush. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4863237-electoral-prediction-kamala-harris-win/ A notable elections forecaster predicted Vice President Harris will win November’s election, according to his model of 13 keys. Allan Lichtman, a historian who has successfully predicted the outcome of nine of the last 10 presidential elections, revealed in a New York Times video that he believes that Harris will clinch a victory over former President Trump. His election model is based on 13 true-or-false questions that ignore polls and pollsters. “Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States — at least that’s my prediction for this race, but the outcome is up to you, so get out and vote,” he said at the end of the video. The 13 keys include whether: >The White House party gained seats in the House in midterm elections >The incumbent president is running >The White House party avoided a primary contest >A third-party candidate is running >The short-term economy is strong >Growth of long-term economy has been as strong as last two terms >The White House has enacted major national policy changes >There is no social unrest >There is no scandal in the White House >The incumbent party candidate has charisma >The challenger is uncharismatic >The White House had foreign policy success >The White House had foreign policy failure “The keys absolutely will work. They are the constant northern star of political prediction,” Lichtman said. The video’s narrator explained that if a key was false, that meant it was in favor of Trump. He found that eight of the keys are true and in favor of Harris, while three are false and favor Trump. The keys that benefit Trump involve these false statements: >>
Anonymous 09/05/24(Thu)17:55:22 No. 1338860 The White House party gained House seats in the 2022 midterm elections. “The Democrats did better than expected in 2022 but they still lost House seats. So the key is false,” he said. The sitting president is running for reelection. “Biden withdrew from the race, costing the Democrats this key, it is false,” Lichtman said. And, third, the incumbent party’s candidate is charismatic. “This is a very high threshold key. You have to be a once in a generational, broadly inspirational candidate. Harris has not met that standard. So this key is false.” Lichtman said the remaining two keys, including a foreign policy failure or a foreign policy success, could still flip in Trump’s favor before the election. “Foreign policy is tricky, and these keys could flip. The Biden administration is deeply invested in the war in Gaza, which is a humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. But even if both foreign policy keys flipped false, that would mean that there were only five negative keys, which would not be enough for Donald Trump to regain the White House,” he said in the video. While he predicted Harris would win the race, he previously said Democrats’ only chance of winning was if Biden stayed in the race. He said at the time it was “foolhardy nonsense” to suggest the Democrats would replace Biden at the top of the ticket. Many polls show a close race between Harris and Trump. The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling average shows Harris with a 3.6 percentage point lead over the former president, based on an aggregate of 156 polls. >>

He’s also going to attach legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. It’s the exact strategy pushed by House conservatives, and will almost certainly be rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate. >Right now, it’s not even clear it has enough GOP support to pass the House. >New York Rep. Nick LaLota, a vulnerable first-term Republican, asked Johnson on the call what the speaker would do if the Senate rejected that package and instead sent back a straightforward funding bill without the voting policy proposal, known as the SAVE Act. LaLota argued that allowing a shutdown would mean 10 vulnerable GOP incumbents lose their races in November — enough that Republicans would lose control of the House — according to two people on the call. >The speaker declined to answer how he would respond in that situation, saying he didn’t want his plans to leak to the press. He also argued: You don’t go into a fight planning to fail. >>

Anonymous 09/05/24(Thu)18:11:55 No. 1338868 >>1338859 This is pretty obvious to anyone whose mind hasn't been completely taken over by Trump brain worms. Harris's momentum has only been going in one direction, JD Vance has been an utter disaster and Trump is incapable of adjusting his messaging or tone to a new candidate. His attacks on Harris seem desperate and flailing. Between Tim Walz's stolen valor conspiracy and Harris apparently not being black and Trump joking about her giving blowjobs on Truth Social it seems every attack he tries his hand at fails miserably to land with anyone other than hardcore MAGA fans. All he can do is repeat the same talking points about how terrible everything in the country is and how the last election was stolen and voters outside of his radical base are exhausted with it. He's using the same playbook he lost in 2020 with and seemingly no one on his campaign can reign him in to develop any positive messaging or platform.>>

The Commerce Department had previously estimated that the nation’s gross domestic product — the total output of goods and services — expanded at a 2.8% rate from April through June. The second-quarter growth marked a sharp acceleration from a sluggish 1.4% growth rate in the first three months of 2024. Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic activity, rose at a 2.9% annual rate last quarter. That was up from 2.3% in the government's initial estimate. Business investment expanded at a 7.5% rate, led by a 10.8% jump in investment in equipment. Thursday's report reflected an economy that remains resilient despite the pressure of continued high interest rates. The state of the economy is weighing heavily on voters ahead of the November presidential election. Many Americans remain exasperated by high prices even though inflation has plummeted since peaking at a four-decade high in mid-2022. >>

Pundits are pointing to a line on a graph while people can't afford groceries or housing. The #1 issue on voters minds is the economy and their wallets, and that is the case for a reason. Lichtman is a sheltered apparatchik at this point if he's giving passing grades to the economy. Lets also not forget:>There is no social unrest Free Palestine protestors at the DNC convention would like a word>There is no scandal in the White House Hunter Biden, Joe's Cognitive issues being covered up, take your pic>The challenger is uncharismatic He claims the incumbent does not have charisma but also gives this key to Kamala. Inconsistent within his own system. Trump is far more charismatic than Kamala, it's not even close.>The White House had foreign policy success None to be found.>The White House had foreign policy failure Ukraine, Afghanistan. The only keys Kamala objectively has:>The White House party avoided a primary contest >The White House has enacted major national policy changes >>
