Allan Lichtman predicts Joe Biden will win


(CNN)History professor Allan Lichtman is used to being right.

He has correctly predicted the winner of each presidential race since Ronald Reagan's reelection victory in 1984 using his "13 keys" system. (It's worth mentioning that in 2000, Lichtman predicted that Al Gore would win the election. Although Gore won the popular vote, he ultimately lost the presidency to George W. Bush after the Supreme Court ruled to stop the recount for Florida's electoral votes. Lichtman stands by validity of his prediction.)

Now, Lichtman and his "13 keys" are ready to call 2020.
In an interview with CNN, Lichtman was definitive in his answer: "The keys predict that Donald Trump will lose the White House this year."

I am posting this as a moral booster, however, the only way this will happen is if we get out the vote, and vote early

and tired of hearing his mouth, seeing his texts and most importantly of all, seeing his ugly face nonstop.

When Biden becomes president, one of his first acts should be to issue an executive order to stifle the outgoing ex-PINO by issuing an executive order to take away rump's texting abilities (no cell phones or no texting) to prevent the loss of national security secrets. Rump's already spilled the beans on some secrets and I wouldn't put it pass the MORON that he'll continue to do the same after he leaves office.

My further hope is that we capture the Senate, and consolidate our gains in the House of Representatives, and then we can get down to work, ignoring the republican scumbags that let rump walk all over us, pass laws that do good for ALL Americans, not just a select few as the republicans seem to favor (their donors), and ensure that such a POS never ever gets pass GO, never ever gets the golden key, etc.
