A Washington, D.C.-based professor of prediction that predicted Donald Trump clear win based on the idea that elections are “primarily a reflection on the performance of the party in power has said that the US President-elect will be impeached.
Allan Lichtman uses a historically based system of what he calls “keys” to predict election results ahead of time. The keys are explained in-depth in Lichtman’s book, “Predicting the Next President: The Keys to the White House 2016.”
Lichtmanin a conversation with Washington Post made another call: Trump would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President Mike Pence, someone whom establishment Republicans know and trust.
“I'm going to make another prediction,” he said. “This one is not based on a system; it's just my gut. They don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence — an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I'm quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.”
Lichtman actually isn't the only person to predict a Trump impeachment; the New York Times's David Brooks suggested that a Trump impeachment or resignation was “probably” in the cards sometime within the next year.
