Princeton Election Consortium, Sam Wang had made a promise earlier in the campaign and as disgusting as it was, he did keep his promise. Wang was certain that Donald Trump wouldn’t break 240 electoral votes (He was only off by 66) that he promised that if Trump broke that magic number, he would eat a bug. Just before the election, Wang appeared on CNN and doubled down on his prediction.
“Dr. Wang, you were so sure of the outcome you tweeted recently that you would ‘eat a bug’ if Donald Trump pulled this thing out. Now that was pre-Comey, the latest Comey revelation, but it is that still your view?” CNN’s Michael Smerconish asked Wang on November 5.
“Yeah, what I said in that tweet was that Trump was unlikely to break 240 electoral votes and I think that’s pretty much the same. Honestly, this race is the most stable statistically since Eisenhower beat Stevenson in ’52. So I think things are looking the same and we should stay calm,” Wang responded.
Wang also said the odds were about four to one in favor of the Democrats winning control of the Senate. On election day, however, Republicans maintained their Senate majority.
Before he kept his promise he made a statement that will make you laugh. It’s a typical liberal statement:
Now, I should say that, before I do this, let’s chat for a second. I think that the eating bug thing is itself sensationalist, and it keeps us off of important policy issues, such as Supreme Court appointments. You know, Donald Trump had a great conversation with Obama, and he can make a grand gesture, like, say, you know what, I’m representing all the people, I’m going to show everyone who I am and what I’m made of, and I’m going to name Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.
One of the main reasons for voting for Trump was to prevent a liberal court and this clown suggests that Trump should do it as a means of uniting the country. By this time I’m hoping that bug has constipation.
