Presidential Predictions II

A decade ago [1], I linked to An Algorithm for Determining the Winners of U.S. Presidential Elections [2] and I thought it might be interesting to see if it still has predictive power (whether that's a Good Idea™ or a Really Bad Idea™ remains to be seen).

So, here we go:

Table: Presidential electability of the candidates for President in 2016
Ticket	President	Representative	Governor	Other	Total
------------------------------
Trump/Pence	0/0	0/10	0/3	-110 (Divorced)/-	-97
Clinton/Kaine	0/0	0/0	0/4	-110 (Lobbying Organization [3])/-	-106

Looks like we get the Howling Monkey by 9 points!
