2016 presidential election "predicted by a cartoonist with scary precision and lots of specific reasons"

I am still predicting a Trump landslide in the general election, not a mere win. That should give me some distance from the rest of the pundit class while they try to adjust to the idea that Trump is competitive in this race. And it gives you a specific prediction to hold me to. I predict Trump gets at least 65% of the votes in the general election.
Here I remind new readers that I don’t know who would be the best president. I am not that smart. I write about Trump’s persuasion skills because I have never seen better.

But I doubt you will see the mainstream media write the history of this election as one that was predicted by a cartoonist with scary precision and lots of specific reasons. Don’t expect that to happen.

Dunno if it'll be the Donald but I'm calling it for the Republicans.

1) Obama is a failed president. Failed economy, failed foreign policy, and failed signature health care plan. Approval rating barely above 50% and will prolly dip below 50% between now and the election.

2) There will be a recession between now and the election.

3) Hillary is not like-able. D's will not allow Bernie to get the nomination, they only intended him to be a sheepdog to herd the disaffected left back into the party. If D's have to arrange a grassy knoll, a plane crash, or a crazed lone gunman, they will. And of course the NSA and the FBI have a file on Bernie.
