Western Illinois University has successfully predicted every single presidential election with 100 percent accuracy since 1975. They’ve completed their mock election for the 2016 presidential field and according to their calculations, the 45th President of The United States will be…
President Bernie Sanders




They also predict that President Sanders’ vice president will be Sen. Martin O’Malley (D-MD).

These calculations may not surprise very many people. From Hollywood A-list celebrities, top musicians, millennials, veterans, and even a few disgruntled Republicans, people across America #FeelTheBern. Researchers believe Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is the single “most electable candidate” from either party.

Here is the electoral vote chart followed by a detailed explanation.




Since 1975? They picked Gore over Bush*?

Only if by "every single election since 1975" you mean Jimmy Carter and Obama, neither of which took rocket science to figure out. If by "every single election since 1975" you mean all elections since 1975, uh, no.

I guess you didn't realize this has been debunked, and frankly mocked, in 2 previous threads already. Nice try though.

But now I see how easily urban legends get started.

And they got all the presidential elections right since their founding in 1903.

So, I guess Cthulhu is going to rise soon.

Vote Cthulhu in 2016! The ultimate order!

We're going to carry Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma, but lose Illinois, Hawaii, and Maryland? And what happened to Pennsylvania? Is it going third-party?
