The Cubs are World Series champions and Hillary Clinton holds a sizable lead in the polls, meaning this tweet from December 2015 suddenly looks awfully prescient.

How’s that for foresight? She definitely wasn’t just telling this guy, at an event in the crucial state of Iowa, exactly what he wanted to hear so he would vote for her.

And actually, predicting this in 2015 isn’t even that impressive. Get back to me when a prediction in a 23-year-old yearbook comes true.
