There are much more deserving nominees than the Vice President who stepped in to the race with a smidge over 100 days to go to replace a President who was going to lose in a landslide and only ended up losing by a few points despite voters thinking the economy was terrible.

Like if she wins over Mark Robinson or Liz Truss, what are we even doing here folks

She absolutely deserves to be nominated, though my vote will go elsewhere for some of those reasons. Robinson should probably win both Crappy Politician and Nutjob of the year, in all honesty.

Mark Robinson absolutely deserves to be on here. In what was supposed to be a swing state race he got blown to hell, which is probably something he likes.

I dislike Noem, but she should be removed from this race. She got a high-profile Cabinet nomination. That's not crappy.

But is that on her?

Like did she do anything to EARN the position?

I say that her being on there for the VP Fumble is still worth noting, and to let OC decide on her fate in the poll

The Fixer: I nominate Allan Lichtman for this after his infamous incorrect prediction, I won't go any further because that would be blasphemous.

Rare statement, but but ur spittin straight up facts.

I have absolutely HATED Lichtman ever since I learned of his existence, and I have gone over bit for bit in my own podcast explaining why his 13 keys is the dumbest thing ever.

He serves as a perfect embodiment of smug limousine liberalism and it brought me so much joy to see it finally crumble down, The fact this man's career didn't end in 2000 is an embarrassment...

The 13 Heavenly Keys to the Pearly Gates:

Heavenly Mandate: God remains firmly in charge—no coups in paradise.
Holy Assembly: The faithful keep showing up, even on rainy Sundays.
No Miraculous Primary Challenger: Gabriel stays loyal—no surprise archangel elections.
Divine Intercession: A well-timed miracle (or two) keeps faith strong.
Stable Prophecy: Prophecies don’t waver; no shifting dates for Judgment Day.
Angelic Peace: No wars in Heaven, though the choir might bicker about key changes.
Celestial Economy: Heavenly treasures are limitless—golden streets aren’t in recession.
Earthly Troubles: Sinners on Earth keep God’s team busy—job security!
Papal Charisma: Leaders of faith avoid becoming Twitter memes.
Miracle Abundance: Plagues of locusts are out; rainbows and blessings are in.
No Heretical Challenger: Lucifer isn’t mounting a comeback tour.
Faithful Leadership: The Almighty doesn’t outsource salvation to a committee.
No Heavenly Scandal: Peter hasn’t leaked the guest list—no gossip at the gates.

Ralphie: The best part of the election is that nobody will likely take his silly, subjective keys seriously ever again.

I really do not why he flips flops like whenever he feels like it.

He literally says, "polling is like sports radio talk" and then uses polling to determine one of his "keys". Like other you trust you the polling or you do not, but you cannot be both. He then says a third major party has to get 5% or more of the vote flips a "key" false. If that is so, why did he turn that key False in 1948 when the Strom Thurmond got only 2.5% of the vote. He then says that, well you see he was polling at 10%, Strom Thurmond was polling at 7% not 10%, so that fails the polling and Election Day test for major third-party key. Like Ralph Nader got 2.7% of the vote in 2000 and the key was True, if he had put that key False, he would have gotten 2000 correct. I honestly believe, any major GOP candidate would have defeat Harris or Biden in this election, and he would have still blamed the electorate. He was literally trying to defend why Biden would have won the Election on Piers Morgan with Cenk Uyger and Uyger literally just laughed it off.

This election, imo he mischaracterized three keys:

1. Strong short-term economy (59% of Americans literally think US is in a recession.)
2. No military success (Like 20% of Ukraine is occupied by Russia and Russia vows to do everything to keep that land)
3. No major protest (Like Jewish students and professors had to be turned away from walking onto college campuses, like how is that not going to flip that key.)

Again, I HATE the fact that the man had a career based on literally just making **** up for 40 years.

-Only 5% counts as a Viable Third party (Except that ONE TIME it didn't)
-There was NO PRIMARY in 2016 (he actually DID say that in his 2016 ranking)
-We are only counting the POPULAR vote (except when I don't...but actually I am....)

And his inability to admit he was WRONG!

Yes, the main reason I got so annoyed at the promotion of the keys narrative was that it was so obviously inconsistent and subjective yet every time one turned around there's Lichtman in the media again. A system like his might work if the definitions were a bit tighter and the analyst didn't have a partisan stake.
