re: Nate Silver has lost it and never be taken seriously again

He recently tweeted "but Hunter's emails" and how it's only to " boost the morale of the Trumpiest." He really does have a lot of TDS

538 is predicting like 340 something electoral votes. This is one of the outlier scenarios if there was a landslide.

I don’t see where Silver has released this map as a prediction about the election. What’s the link for this?
This isn't "his" prediction, this is the map that corresponds to a cluster or spike in the probability chart.

So they just throw a ton of possible “predictions” out there, then point to the one that ends up being right?

Yep, see the post right above yours

Guarantee AT LEAST 20 Million fraudulent ballot are in process and going into the system. Biden's TX campaign manager, Dallas Jones, already got busted in Harris County with up to 700,000 and nobody is doing jack about it either. And just released this afternoon - stacks and stacks of thousands of fraudulent driver licenses have been found in Texas.

I will say this, if Trump loses Florida, Michigan or Wisconsin, he's toast. He HAS to win all three.

He has to win Wisconsin?
How about snagging Minnesota instead?
He has to win Michigan? What about Pennsylvania?
Florida is huge for either candidate.

Based on flawed polling models. In fact going out of his way to disparage the only poll that predicted trump to win the rust belt states. If I poll the local republican chairs of every state then I have a 99% chance that Trump wins every state. Doesn’t mean my analysis isn’t flawed.

Trump is over 270 if he wins fl NC arizona and Michigan. Which is not an unreasonable prediction whatsoever

I can do the same in Photoshop, but it equates to jack shite. Polls and predictions skewed so much reminds me of the white dude in a Ford with a 24 inch lift and bull nuts on the rear.
They are obviously overcompensating for something...

Yes, but you have to start with valid data.

Omar has Minnesota covered with tens of thousands of illegal ballots in her district alone. Her associates have the rest of the state covered.
The Michigan governor has the corruption covered for Biden too.
Do not underestimate the massive corruption that has been going on for decades and is currently in hyperdrive for this election.

But if it isn’t a prediction, then this is more fake outrage.
Right wingers are all emotion and no facts.
