What three psychics told us will happen in the 2016 election
Considering that it's The Washington Post and it's also written by a man (sorry if that sounds un-PC), the article isn't too bad. It visits three sources: an astrologer, a numerologist, and a tarot card reader, The writer obviously does not have much experience with psychic things, as he starts off:
This will be the last article The Washington Post writes about the 2016 campaign. There's no point, you see, for we already know how it turns out -- thanks to the combined efforts of three New York City psychics.
He then fails to follow up with that thesis statement by acknowledging that nothing is cast in stone with psychic predictions. We English teachers would mark him up for that. Another fault is that he starts off with the most outlandish of the three practitioners. C'mon, is that really necessary? He was building his lead, which works for the uninitiated, but for those who are somewhat knowledgeable, it's just irritating.
It's a pretty long article, so allow for some time. There will be some surprises (which I won't ruin)!

"The independent threw everything off. The first card she flipped was focused on nostalgia, meaning perhaps someone voters had known before. She kept flipping cards: Someone sweet. Someone people knew and liked. Someone with a strong wife"
Like Bernie?
Enjoyed the article.
