    Ektard's gonna Ektard

    Silver's no Ektard, he's been right about a shit ton of stuff. He's just not exactly dialed in when it comes to Trump.

    Honestly I'm surprised he's giving Trump that much chance at the election.

    If he wanted to be right, he'd pick Trump to win... But it wouldn't bode well for receiving future paychecks from his current employer

    So your saying he just isn't very good at his job?

    I get that, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know data is flawed when it comes to Trump. So why continue to make predictions on Trump based on the data?

    Because that's his job. His job is to tell us what the data says. Our? job is to determine whether that matters. In this case, I'm with you, the data is close to worthless. But I think that's the exception not the rule.

    His job is to message data to fit his political and career agenda... Or they will find somebody else who will... and Silver can walk the Pacific Crest Trail looking for perspective without a paycheck.

    In other words find this thread where it belongs.

    There a lot of doogs here who hate winners are in denial about the Trumpmania that's clearly sweeping the nation.

    So you're asking why not make predictions based on gut feel and pulling narratives out of your ass? There's lots of that already on the Internet. Find whatever poll fits your bias.

    Silver is a data nerd. Maybe he'll be proven wrong (although I personally doubt it), but at least he's consistent in his approach.

    Why make predictions off flawed data when you're a paid data nerd?

    If you're an expert... Enough to know the data is shit, why not use your supposed expertise to find and utilize better data?

    If you're wrong 7 times in a row its time to change your model. I'm not a Silver hater. If he is that bright he should be able to adjust. I suspect it will still show Hilary as the favorite but much closer.

    Awfully warm for November anyway

    Silver sounds like the @HeretoBeatmyChest of political analysis.

    Silver has been pretty spot on the last two presedential elections. That's how he became popular. Maybe he fucks up other things...I wouldn't know. I Don't read his shit blog.

    Fuck off.

    Two days ago I heard an Associated Press report on the radio that said Hillary led Trump 51%-31%. There is no doubt in my mind they made that number up in order to sway public opinion.

    Picking Obama to win after Bush didn't exactly require advanced metrics. Same thing goes after the Retard National Convention selected a wealthy Mormon to run against him.

    Quite honestly I don't think it's required after the Retard National Convention chooses a wealthy narcicistic blowhard either.

    I'm hearing newspapers are in the business of making major news events less interesting. It helps them sell less stories.

    The things you don't know could fill the Maester library

    We are specifically discussing his performance on the last 7 elections Trump has been in.

    Get the dick out of your mouth and pay attention boy

    Why don't you just come out and say that Hillary murdered Trump?

    Trump is a whiny bitch, which is why he got a lot of votes.

    He's dialed in on America (RIP)
