Michael Moore, who famously predicted a Trump victory in 2016, is back with another election forecast.
And it proves the adage even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Per RealClearPolitics:
In an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, Michael Moore said if the election were held today that President Trump would win a second term. However, Moore predicted the Democratic candidate for president would win the popular vote count by 4 to 5 million people.
Moore warned the “problem” is support for Trump in the Midwest has not gone down by “one inch” and that Trump voters are “even more rabid” than before because they are afraid he may lose.
“I think if the election were held today,” Moore said of a Trump victory. “Hillary won by 3 million popular votes. I believe whoever the Democrat is next year is going to win by 4 to 5 million popular votes. There’s no question in my mind that people who stayed home, who sat on the bench, they’re going to pour out, in California, New York and — you know, but also in Texas and whatever, I mean, places that Trump will probably win, but, yeah, there’s going to be a much higher percentage of people voting against him.”
“The problem is, if the vote were today, I believe, he would win the electoral states that he would need, because, living out there, I will tell you, his level of support has not gone down one inch,” he said. “In fact, I’d say it’s even more rabid than it was before, because they’re afraid now. They’re afraid he could lose, because they watched his behavior. So they are voracious in their appetite for Donald Trump. That’s the bad news.”
Moore reiterated his opinion that the Democrats need a more authentic and dynamic candidate than Hillary Clinton to overcome Trump’s force of personality.
But for every prediction showing a semblance of insight, the socialist filmmaker reveals why liberals aren’t as tolerant as they think.
In a recent podcast hosted by Rolling Stone Magazine, Moore proclaimed that white people “are not good people” and that women in general and minorities of all backgrounds should “be afraid” of them.
