    It's more likely that Clinton just wasn't a liked enough candidate to draw the voters that Obama did. I don't think Nate Silver is as popular or has as much influence as you're suggesting. Remember, Clinton lost this election due to rural counties in Wisconsin/the rust belt. These aren't the people you would expect to be reading articles on 538 lol.

    Also, Nate Silver wasn't arrogant at all. He warned constantly about the uncertainty of this election. Looking at their model doesn't tell the whole story.

    This was posted by Nate Silver the morning of Election Day:

    So what I'm getting from this is no model is 100% correct. That's pretty typical when you're working with statistics/probability models.

    Illegal Aliens can't even vote, tf. I'm guessing you're not familiar with the rarity of voter fraud

    Did he post the statistical significance of his model? If so and it is below 5% then his model and data s---, end of story.

    But I also agree that Hillary wasn't a well liked candidate. The message that the media aired for the world was "Trump is bad", nothing positive about Hilldawg.

    This video @blair gave us deserves reposting. This guy’s really good – “The minute people assume Trump can’t make the presidency is the minute he’ll make the presidency. Assumption is the mother of all f--- ups.” He also brings up a good point about the bullying from the left, intimidating Trump supporters into silence. This must be a big reason, if not the reason, almost all the polls were wrong. (I obviously disagree with him about Trump himself but that’s beside the point.)

    It's the epitome of how half of the country thinks and it is completely swept under the rug

    The "Omg how did Trump ever get elected?!" reaction is pathetic, short-sided and stupid.

    I’m saying he won by a greater margin than people think. This was believed to be a fair election, but it wasn’t in so many ways. Luckily though there weren’t enough illegitimate voters to steal the election. I was admittedly a little worried about that.

    Its not really deep, its actually pretty basic, I'm using that fact to emphasize how distant I am. But you thought it was a Humpty Dumpty reference.

    At least we know where the reading levels are.

    Well I figured it wasn't advanced literature and you were just telling people you're jamaican again but you went on implying it had some deeper meaning so I had to spitball some ideas

    I won the popular votes, folks. If you factored out all the illegal aliens who came out in droves and voted for Crooked Hillary I should be up by ten million or so votes.

    i don't know too much about this pie fella, but I thought he was like a talk show comedian or something? A friend of mine also said that this whole vid was staged or it was slapstick and not serious, or something like that. he raises a lot fo good points, agree with a lot he says, but the way he over acts? lol wtf is that?
