30 Elections In A Row This Expert Has Predicted Who The President Will Be, And This Is Who Won... Professor Allen Lichtman of American University has made a name for himself by correctly predicting every presidential election winner since 1984. Tonight is the big night, and here is his analysis of who will take the presidency. Lichtman says he looks further than the daily news and polls to make his predictions, ignoring both his personal views and shifting demographics. Instead, he uses a series of true or false questions to select the winner. This year, he predicts Trump will take the presidency. Why? Trump seems to be expanding more than any president weve seen in recent years. He has gained immense support without any substantial experience in politics. Based on the 13 keys Lichtman defines, he predicts a Donald Trump victory. Clinton and her party have eliminated themselves by hitting six disqualifiers. What do you think? Will Trump take the presidency tonight?
