What would have been your prediction a year before each election

[courts]

not sure about maps... but here were my actual, somewhat vague predictions by year.

1999: george w bush defeats al gore. this was pretty much just intuition. i just could never picture al gore as president. just was lacking... something. charisma i guess. simple as that.

2003: george w bush narrowly defeats john kerry. possibly loses popular vote again. i expected a closer election than what actually happened. mostly because of the widespread perception of lackluster economy.

2007: barack obama defeats john mccain. or mccain drops out of race and republicans run some other losing candidate. about the same as what happened.

2011: barack obama loses re-election to mitt romney due to low turn out. glad i was wrong there.

2015: donald trump defeats hillary clinton. not too far off from what happened electorally. although i expected a closer popular vote than what we actually got.
