<\/p>\nRUSH: My adopted hometown, Sacramento, California. This is Jennifer. Great to have you. You\u2019re the first call today, Jennifer. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. So excited to get through today. I heard a blurb on our local station today about a professor who supposedly made many predictions for presidential winners and losers, Allan Lichtman, and he is predicting that Biden is gonna win.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, I saw that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. So I was hoping you were gonna weigh in on that today. I\u2019m just wondering what your thoughts are.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you called. Actually, I was not gonna weigh in on it \u2019cause this guy\u2019s a little bit of a — I wasn\u2019t gonna weigh in on it today, but that\u2019s what Open Line Friday is. If you want to ask, I\u2019ll be glad to answer it. Allan Lichtman. Some people pronounce it Lichtman. And he does have this reputation that he has yet to be wrong in predicting presidential — I forget the criteria he uses.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of these guys, Jennifer, that do this, and they try to compare or analyze presidential elections in some cases using the economy and its performance in the six months prior to the election or its performance in the two years prior. Others have an entirely different set of criteria they look at. I don\u2019t remember what Lichtman\u2019s is. I don\u2019t know what his database, data set is that he looks at. But these kinds of things — if the predictor comes out and says what you want to happen, then you revel in it.<\/p>\n
“Hey, this guy, this guy, he\u2019s never been wrong, this guy\u2019s calling –” there\u2019s always a chance that he could be wrong the first time. So I don\u2019t put a whole lot of stock in it, and nobody knows the future. There isn\u2019t anybody who slam-bang with ontological certitude knows the future. I wouldn\u2019t be worried about it if I were you, Jennifer. I don\u2019t even think, aside from the virus — I still believe that there are a bunch of things that are gonna have an impact on this election that haven\u2019t even happened yet, things that Lichtman couldn\u2019t even know about nor anybody else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
