You essentially listed the battleground states as a pathway to victory. Even if you lost, winning battleground states was still the most reasonable pathway to victory. It's not some secret

This is why I get amused when you reply to me

Nate gets every state right for Obama, and he is a god. Yet I, in July no less, list the states that get Trump the victory (Penn specifically), and that he was likely on the path to break 300 (with Wisc, Iowa, +1), and its just a lucky guess. And I never recanted. Not even on VA

And if I was just 'listing battleground states', how come there was no listing of Colo? N. Mex? Nev? N Hamp? Maine? I could have even listed Mich, and been a phenom!

How is it that I just happened to nail every state (except VA), and say he would break 300 EVs, when up to the night of the results, pollsters were still claiming Trump may not carry Ohio (+9), NC (+4), or Fla (+2)??

It wasn't a lazy guess. If you throw out the push pollsters, look at the demos targeted, compare that to 2004, and add in the energy factor, it was a pretty safe call.

Even as far back as July. When Nate was saying RELAX, Trump has no path

Nate was one of the few poll modelers who was giving Trump a reasonable shot. This is my post from a couple weeks ago regarding that:

Nate discussed the very outcome
The Odds Of An Electoral College-Popular Vote Split Are Increasing

He argued that the state races were far more uncertain
Election Update: National Polls Show Clinton’s Lead Stabilizing — State Polls, Not So Much

He argued that despite her polling, her position was much worse than Obama in 2012
Election Update: Why Clinton’s Position Is Worse Than Obama’s

He was forced to argue against the other modelers about Trump's chances
Election Update: Yes, Donald Trump Has A Path To Victory

He highlighted the uncertainty due to undecided voters
Election Update: Where Are The Undecided Voters?

He even had to defend Trump's odds when before the Comey bombshell where others were giving Trump less than 1% when Clinton had her largest polling margins
Election Update: Why Our Model Is More Bullish Than Others On Trump.

In addition, he even questioned Hillary's campaigning in Arizona while giving Trump credit for campaigning in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Not only is it justifiable for Trump to be campaigning in WI or MI—it's absolutely the correct strategy. Whereas Clinton in AZ is dubious.

He even went off on the hack liberals at Huffington Post who were criticizing him for giving Trump a good chance of winning.

You keep 'debunking' points I make, yet in the end I'm still right

I questioned your lazy analysis using a single data point. I didn't say you were wrong, but like your Ailes and Fox News ratings during the DNC thread, making these grand conclusions based on a single piece of information is poor analysis, regardless if it ends up true.

The fact that you don't see this is strange. And ironically in thar DNC thread, which was laughably wrong, you seemed to ignore your error.

Guys just wanted to check and see if yall wanted to start a go fund me or something

I bet Megyn is really in a dark place right now, having the NYT #1 best selling book and all.

She's the Truth man, remember when she decided to destroy that presidential candidate, what's his name, guy with the funny hair. Poor guy never had a chance.

It's just so ridiculous that you guys are obsessed with deluding yourselves about people who don't like Trump. What's the point?

those ratings are big and you don't judge off of one night

Her book is also a best seller

To say her career is in turmoil is ridiculous but if tucker Carlson keeps beating her there's going to be some drama at fox.

I just said she was going to decline, and will go further into decline. I don't observe shite that's already happened. I call shite, baby.

Haha, you weren't even fricking here from the get go. You're just another guy who has never, ever tried to substantively engage me on politics and then when your crush won the presidency, you started parading around like a sidewalk Alabama fan.

In the end, this argument is about your self worth, it has nothing to do with Megyn or Trump.

Went straight for a personal, not presidential question

The notion that a question about a candidate's disparagement of women is a "personal not presidential" is sheer fricking stupidity. You want to allege that Kelly is biased, fair enough. But if you truly think the question is irrelevant to ask a presidential candidate, then the better part of you must have run down your daddy's britches leg.
