The historian and political scientist Allan Lichtman has blamed “misogyny, racism and xenophobia” for getting his prediction about who would win the White House so catastrophically wrong.
Lichtman, who is best known for devising electoral prediction system known as ‘The Five Keys to the White House,’ said in an interview with CNN that the American people were simply not “pragmatic” enough to be able to predict the election correctly.
He explained:
The Keys to the White House depend upon a rational, pragmatic electorate deciding it based on guidance rather than depending upon if the party should get four more years.

Right, Alan. If the voters were not all stupid fascists, your predictions would have been spot on.

Virtually all of my liberal acquaintances have been shopping this ridiculous excuse for Harris-Putz's spectacular loss. In the brain of every liberal, there must be a red cabinet with the legend "In case of humiliation, break glass!" Inside is a poster with the words ""racism!", "sexism!" "transphobia!" and probably "climate change1"

When you have built your life and reputation living withing the "system", and being corrupted by constant contact with the warped politics in this country, it's almost impossible and SCARY to find out, per Mark Twain, “It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.“.
There used to be, many decades ago, an appreciation for America's foundations and institutions. Round about 100 years ago, certain people in America started to become arrogant and envisioned a "different" kind of America, one that, with great hubris, THEY thought was better. Since then, succeeding generations of similar thinking people keep trying to "fix" America in the image they want.
America isn't perfect. Perhaps no institution established by men can be. But it's pretty good and it enables The People to make needed change if they work at it. Maybe the reason that the changes that some people want haven't been accepted is that they are not all that great, and The People have resisted them. Instead of reexamining their desires and looking for flaws, the people that want these changes got sneaky and stealthily, illegally, corrupted the government into something almost unrecognizable.
I'm concerned that so much of the country still, like Mr. Lichtman, refuse to recognize the corruption that was done and WHY it was really necessary to reject it. In many cases, the results were too painful or people recognized parts that made them nervous but the overall plan to corrupt is still hidden from most. That is dangerous.
I think President Trump DOES understand it now, and has tasked awoken people to help clean it up. It will be painful. I hope he concentrates not only on the technical tasks that need to be done, but also educating the American People as to WHAT corruption has been done and WHY it is anti American and so NECESSARY to root it out. Even then, not all will agree. I guess we, as a nation, need some education as to WHY America, as it was conceived, IS so GREAT.
If President Trump succeeds in THAT task, he will have accomplished the greatest task of his Presidency, the broader awareness of WHO we are as Americans and WHY it is so important that we are the way we are as a Country.

Allan Lichtman, you frigging idiot. You designed those questions, and you answered them. You got them wrong. You can only blame Elon Musk if you say you are so damn stupid that Elon conned you with misinformation.

'The historian and political scientist Allan Lichtman has blamed “misogyny, racism and xenophobia” for getting his prediction about who would win the White House so catastrophically wrong." The market is always right, Alan. Its the gigantic blind spot of prognosticators like you and your enormous ego that are at fault. Framing a narrative and then trying to justify it is a bad way to predict anything.

His system works only if the inputs are honest.
His inputs this election were nonsensical. He was a DNC kool aid drinker.
Since he can't deal with being wrong, obviously the voters are flawed.

Pollster "gurus" cannot keep their own bias out of their calculations.

I read his prediction. Had he answered his own questions correctly, he would have reached a different conclusion. On the economy, he ignored the 800lb gorilla, inflation. On scandals, he concluded that there were none. On the military and he overlooked the Afghanistan debacle, overlooked the slow moving train wreck that is Ukraine.
Had he removed his liberal bias filter, he would have reached a completely different conclusion. Blaming misogyny and racism just obliterated his remaining credibility.

Shouldn't he have accounted for those factors, if he's such a genius? And who, pray tell, are the mysogynistic racists who have xenophobia? Couldn't be his darling Democrats, could it. Or perhaps his staff who gather information to create his predictions? Perhaps it's because regular Americans won't talk to poll takers, anymore, or, if they do, lie wildly to skew the results?
Are they your misogynists, racists and xenophobes? We, who your prefered candidates have termed as 'garbage'?
Look in the mirror, you puppy!!

FTAThe keys absolutely will work. They are the constant northern star of political prediction,” he continued. “The outcome is up to you.
So his kooky keys are always right and it's the voters' job to fall in line with his prediction. LOL.

Others have applied his very own "keys" and predicted a Trump victory. Referring to Lichtman as a "scientist," political or otherwise is clearly inappropriate. Science does not consist of building an experimental model, coming to a predetermined conclusion, then excluding evidence that falsified your conclusion. Definitely NOT science.

Seem he's on the same page as "Dr." Batshill, the champagne-swilling arrogant liberal "political analyst" who stated the same reason for why she got the outcome wrong. Did he watch her video before he came up with that excuse? Birds of a feather....

Mr. Lichtman is totally wrong, and he is full of poop.
The truth is the American people saw the feckless manner in which the US was being run by Biden or his puppeteer, and they saw an idiot woman who would just be a figure head for Obama and they had enough. MORE than enough.
That is why they lost.
