Nate got some shyt but he actually deserves the most props if there are any to give.

They gave him shyt because he gave such a high probability for Trump to win. These same people, like Sam wang, was giving her a 99% chance lol.

Meanwhile Nate said that the model kept showing a popular vote win but EV loss for Clinton. Like throughout the election, he expressed skepticism over of his model results but he is the only one who mentioned this possibility.

Secondly, he said on the podcast that democrats were acting arrogant when trump was going to these rust belt states and taking it as a sign trump is losing. He said that democrats need to get their head out their ass and trump damn well should be going to those states because those are the states he need to turn.

Nate Silver projected Hillary winning 72% of the vote. Did he take a massive L moving forward?
Not really, his model states that if the election was run 100 times Hillary would win 72. Trump just happened to beat the probability. He was one of the few people that was being very cautious about this while the rest were saying it was inevitable.

Here was the projected tracker. Look at their "estimated vote totals" for these states that they were updating yesterday based on no legit science at all :mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:

They had her winning fukking Iowa.

Slate is literally one of WOAT.

I have to find the smug ass article they wrote to cap this off too. They probably deleted it.

Jamielle Bouie is another trash nikka.

So is Jamil Smith of MTV News.

Basically every person of color with a position at a major publication is basically a typical upper-class white liberal with a different skin tone and some views about mass incarceration and microaggressions.

Eh, not really.

Statisticians are only as good as the accuracy of their models, which are based primarily on past election results. This election was nothing like any of the other elections in recent memory. No statistician got it right.
