Nothing Will Ever Beat Allan Lichtman's Meltdown on Piers Morgan's Show

What a rumble. Piers Morgan’s show was a source of elite television viewing as a panel of liberals, which included Juan Williams, Allan Lichtman, and The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, devolved into chaos regarding the results of the 2024 election. Uygur and Lichtman were the two who were duking it out, where the progressive host called out Lichtman for being dead wrong about the race. That set off Lichtman, a historian, who totally imploded.

Lichtman is known for his Keys to the White House model, where he said that Donald Trump would lose to Kamala Harris. Uygur thought this method was absurd, and when Lichtman tried to defend his work, mayhem ensued. The Young Turks co-host became increasingly frustrated, saying that Lichtman needed a tall glass of shut the hell up since he was wrong about the election. Lichtman said Uygur could say whatever he wanted but wouldn’t stand for personal attacks. This tennis match of insults went back and forth as the rest of the panel looked on—but even non-conservatives were entertained. The line of this bout is when Lichtman accuses Uygur of committing blasphemy against him as if he's some sort of god (via Daily Caller):

    “I was right; you were wrong,” Uygur said.

    “That’s a cheap shot, and I won’t stand for it,” Lichtman said. “I read your own followers’ comments, and they all trashed you. Every one of them and [they] supported me, so quiet with your personal attacks. Make whatever point you want. Don’t make it personal.”

    The conversation quickly became heated, with both individuals speaking over one another. “You’re so deluded,” Uygur said. “At this program, I’ve never been able to finish a thought.”

    “You got it wrong. You were preposterously and stupidly wrong. So, OK, all right. Can I just finish a damn thought ever on this show?” Uygur asked.

    “Don’t call me stupid,” Lichtman said. “I admitted I was wrong. I don’t need you to call me stupid.”

    “It’s great to see you Democrats all getting along so well,” Piers Morgan chimed in.

Let the Left eat their own.
Their blame game is amusing.

In it all they continue to miss the fact that their ideas, on a level intellectual playing field, in the presence of uncensored facts, just. plain. suck.

To watch the lefties draw claws and commence to ripping each other’s faces off is cathartic.  These confrontations should be encouraged. 😁

I don't believe I have ever seen the number or magnitude of liberals losing their shit live and in color.  It is a site to behold.

They are not well people.

Don't flip your wig, Allan!

Licthman's predictions are based on his analysis of what he calls "13 Keys to the White House". The "keys" include things like, the incumbent is running for re-election, the short-term economy is strong, the long-term economy has been good, there is no third-party challenger, there has been no major scandal, etc.

Tim Pool, on one of his daily evening live-streams several weeks before the election, showed that if you apply an objective analysis to Lichtman's "keys", you would conclude that Trump was going to win. Lichtman however, wasn't being objective; his analysis was applying Democrat party propaganda. So, in his analysis, the short-term economy was strong (there was no impending recession), the long-term economy was good (inflation wasn't real), there had been no White House scandal (the cover-up of Biden's health didn't happen), there was no third-party challenger (RFKJr didn't exist), etc. 

It wasn't that Lichtman's "keys" didn't work any more, it's just that he refused to be objective in his analysis, and instead tried to sell the Democrat propaganda. It didn't work, and now he looks like a fool.

Wikipedia: In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, amid widening calls by Democratic Party representatives, members, voters, and supporters of President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race in favor of another candidate with "better chances", Lichtman called that demand a "foolish, destructive escapade", accusing "pundits and the media" of "pushing" Democrats into a losing choice. He added that those calling for Biden's resignation had "zero track record" of predicting election outcomes.

This guy actually wanted the Democrats to stick with Joe Biden.  By no means is he stupid, but he should have retired some time ago.

BBO (Before Barack Obama) these kinds of behaviors would be followed by people in white coats with butterfly nets chasing after the participants.  Since then, they are considered completely normal.
