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.

Almost 2 years later and I’m not paying attention to any of these outlets and their models :damn:

People were way off listing Nate Silver. He gave Trump about 30% chance to win. Y'all realize that if 30% guys in Nate's model never win then THAT would show he was wrong. Trump's margin's were so close, plus that Weiner laptop and Comey announcement changed the game, that 30% looks perfectly accurate.


Edit: When I'm wrong I'm wrong, the above take was incredibly narrow-sighted.

Nate was one of the few that gave Trump a chance but he embarrassed himself the entire 2016 GOP primary saying Trump won't win the nomination even when he was up double digits. He still thought party "moderates" would come around to Rubio Why You Should Never, Ever Listen To Nate Silver | Current Affairs

And this year even when Bernie was basically tied with Warren in the polling average in August, he had these tiers that propped up Kamala Harris over Bernie and said it would come down to Biden/Warren. He's not doing it anymore but over the summer/fall he was an awful pundit and constantly jabbed at Bernie. I only use 538 to check polls

You not only completely convinced me, I think I'm getting a subscription to Current Affairs because Nathan J. Robinson just hits it out of the park too regularly to be ignored.

It's fukk Nate Silver from here on out. :yeshrug:
