If I'm a Republican candidate, I'm telling my campaign communications folks to create a montage of the craziest hate-filled rants that Democrats have uttered over the past couple of years. Emphasize the ones where they insult, degrade, and slander Trump voters and supporters.

Buy some air-time.

That should just about do it.

He's still living off his 50/50 projection in 2012.

Legit statisticians and data scientists think Silver is a hack.

It still amazes me how upset the Poli Board gets about a statistical analysis. It's based on raw data and mathematical trends from previous elections.
If you read any of his pre-election stuff (which i doubt) he said straight up repeatedly that the national polls were pretty solid but that the state polls were potentially less reliable. His national numbers were damn near prophetic. Some key state polls were wrong.

From his twitter:

p.s. The chances our model gives Democrats—between 70 and 75 percent depending on what version you look at—are pretty much exactly the odds that Hillary Clinton had of winning in 2016! So hopefully everyone's learned their lesson and won't mistake that for a sure thing. ??????

That is for the last big election. Just a warm-up for the next one. I'm getting in practice.

Also, I will bet anyone that the Dems will take back the House. Not sayin its gonna happen but Bovada, PredictIt, and Smarkets all show the odds with the Dems. I'll try Vegas' take and u can take Trump.

Any takers?

Nate is still using flawed polling. Interesting.

Garbage in garbage out

Campaign hasn’t started yet and the narrative changes daily

His percent is meaningless - if it is wrong he will just say something changed

I say there is a 58.5737905% chance the republicans keep the house

Prove me wrong

Can someone explain to me why the left think they are going to retake the house? What has the left done to garner any support? Realistically, economy is great, jobs are up. The dems aren't running on anything other than "no trump". Via the 2016 election, that didn't turn out too well. So what are they running on that makes them think they will flip the house?

When voter turnout for midterms is low, anything is possible.
