People tank this guy but his model is only as good as his data. He may suck but his data is bad. I really can’t fault him if his data is faked
Like I said above, this is his built in excuse so he takes no blame. He was wrong in 16 and wrong about the senate in 18. At some point he has to be blamed for not recognizing bad data.

If he's wrong again, the MSM will still say his credibility is still intact

Look, I can't stand Nate Silver but people completely misrepresent his model.

In 2016 his model gave Trump one chance in three to win.

That's really not bad odds and Trump hit his 1 in 3 chance. That shite happens all the time. People lump him in with the 99% people.

This year he is saying Trump has one chance in 10.

We shall see.

I agree — if and only if we were talking about a free and fair election. Yet there is a very high probability that the Dems will try to steal the election.

These fake polls will be used as justification for the Democons stealing the election via mail-in voting fraud. That impending election-stealing effort is what these polls are servicing: “See? It was the will of the people....”

Dementia Joe let his mask slip and admitted as much:

Lol, he's got to be trolling. I'm convinced. Either that or he's just legitimately deluded.

Exactly, so there's literally no way to tell if his model was dogshit or not.

The problem with Nate woodentools is that he ignores the Trump enthusiasm, #WalkAway, and to me one of the MOST important

The people like Ben Shapiro who did not vote for Trump in 2016, but have already vote for him in 2020. There are a LOT of them.

Plus, all the rapper endorsements.

Landslide.

Right, when he says some nondefinitive shite like 1 in 3 HE CAN NOT NE WRONG.

SO the exercise is pointless

At this point, do the 'polls' even matter? Shouldn't the ev numbers give us a better idea of who will win?

I assume the polls he is talking about is the Trafalgar Group, but their response to Nate Silver's objection to his Michigan numbers proves Nate pig iron lacks even the basic knowledge required to do his job.

Given that this schlub's #1 job is to get page views on 538, eyeballs on his tweets and perpetually invited back on the lib filth MSM talking head shows, he's totally playing to his audience.
