Pro-Trump Radio Host Insists He Will Win Election Based on Halloween Costume Sales

Pro-Donald Trump radio host Bill Mitchell insisted that Trump will win the election based on the fact that his Halloween costumes were selling faster than Hillary Clinton costumes.

The YourVoiceRadio host, who famously insisted that Trump was winning if you “imagine that polls don’t exist,” cited Halloween sales during a tweetstorm of reasons he believes Trump will win in a landslide.

So far Trump costumes are selling out while Hillary costumes are barely moving (like her). Just one more data point folks.

Halloween mask sales have predicted every Presidential winner since 1980. Right now, Trump masks lead Hillary by 30%.

After mockery from actual poll analyst Nate Cohn Monday, Mitchell doubled down.

I’m not the one who made costumes 100% accurate since 1980. https://t.co/0jmmh8CsBl
