Unscientific Predictions

During the closing days of the 2016 Presidential Campaign, I wrote identical letters to both Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. The letters were emailed to them the same day on October 27, 2016, just days before the election. I also posted the letters on Facebook and the poetry site that I write on. Based on the number of views, Donald Trump was leading in that catagory and I predicted to a friend that Mr. Trump was going to win the presidency. There was nothing scientific about my conclusion and prediction, but to me the viewer count was rather telling at the time. I think that it was rather telling then as it is presently on December 15, 2018, which indicates that two years later, Mr. Trump is still leading viewership by 30 views. And, my method may be neither scientific nor game-changing, but I'm having fun. 12152018PoSoup Update: 05162019, Trump leads Clinton by 41 views; Posted title, Dear Donald
