JFK certainly thought the debates helped him, though the margin was so small it’s hard to tell, and Lichtman wasn’t around to predict that election. Lichtman did predict HW Bush’s defeat before any debates were held. Lichtman predicted Gore’s victory in August of 2000, and Gore’s loss wasn't due to the debates so much as the Supreme Court hijacking the election.

Lichtman used data from many elections to formulate his system, including JFK. Lichtman also insisted post debate that Biden's odds are still better than anyone else's.
That’s true: he did use JFK’s election, but he did not PREDICT JFK’s election. And Lichtman has said repeatedly that debates don't count, particularly ones in June.
I never claimed he predicted JFK's election. He used election data from elections going back to 1840, and the historical environment of those elections. That is how he developed his 13 keys which he began using starting in 1982. I am not sure what you think I am saying.
