Allan Lichtman: There are very few people who can say, unimpeachably, that they called this election. Lichtman, a distinguished professor of history at American University, is one of them. Lichtman first came to attention in May when he told The Fix's Peter Stevenson that his model based on a set of 13 true/false statements predicted a Trump victory.
It was a model that had successfully predicted the winner of the presidential race in every election since 1984. In October ,amid dire poll numbers for Trump, he doubled down, insisting that he trusted in the model. And he was right.
Kellyanne Conway:
Conway was a known commodity in the polling world before this race. But now she's a known commodity across the country and the world. Conway did what others couldn't; she managed to manage Donald Trump.
She did so by using her own public megaphone a near-constant TV presence and an active Twitter account to encourage Trump's better angels, always pushing him to stay focused on issues and away from personal attacks. Just a thought. [Washington Post]
