Nate Silver seeks to put an end to that apparent misconception in a new report for FiveThirtyEight, pointing to an erosion of Trump’s “strong support”:

The same heralded guy who had it so right this last election. Oh wait...he was wrong then due to his own bias. He’s still wrong.

About the only thing I can think of that could make this true is for Trump to discard his campaign promises and sign on to the Paris Accord.

Well, if Nate “Hitlery is 95% certain to win” Silver says so, it must be right!

Given Nate Scrap-Metal’s record, this is very good news. It means Trump’s base is solid as a rock.

BS but not unlikely. If he fails to build the wall, continues to fail to honor promise to end Obama’s executive orders and actions giving illegal aliens amnesty, if he does not exit unratified Paris Agreement, if he doesn’t get Obamacare repealed, etc. Then, yes, his base will evaporate. We’re not there yet but I’ll grant Nate that it is looking more possible every day.

Nate, aren’t you the guy that called your recent Montana loss “a win?”

He’s a sad little projectionist.
