I don’t click the twitter heart too often on anyone except this guy and James Woods.
not exactly the ideal spot to be
Someone remind me again, speaking of math, and Truth, and Nate Silver...
What percentage chance did Silver give for Trump being elected?
Who actually won again?
We need to instill this attitude in the Dems:
"Well, they're all moral victories." (preen).
Better yet, drive them to despair, and hopefully thence to repentance. They are utterly evil.
‘@mitchellvii is a beacon in a growing storm of bad news — a kind of post-truth, post-math Nate Silver.’
What is ‘post-math,’ supposed to mean? Mitchell is post math the way Hillary is post alcohol. He’s a numbers whiz. I followed him for mos leading up to the election, and his poll analysis was nonpareil. He took the methodology apart at the seams, and put the poll biases in glaring highlights. His predictions were uncannily accurate.
He was at his best on election night. I checked in at FR, and a chorus was claiming we’d lose FL. I switched over to Mitchell’s twitter feed, and he said (in essence) ‘FL is in the bag for Trump: here’s why.’
I’d have been a basket case on election eve without Mitchell. I’ve enjoyed his pithy comments in the meantime too. He’s right—he does have a way with words.
Do us, the non Twitters, a favor.
Post some of his best tweets and ping us.
Not even me?
Does he look more like a televangelist or the anti-Christ?
LOL! That goes without saying.
Nothing personal, it's just, like Grampa Dave, I don't DO twitter...
BTW—abd I dob’t care who gets credit-— but Mitchell was educated in the weaknesses of polls during the campaign by Ricard Baris of PPD, by “Deplorable Greg” (one of the key sources in our book “How Trump Won,” and by myself.
He never credited or retweeted any of us so we all unfollowed. Finally, last week, Mitchell had Baris on his show. But for over a year he literally poached stuff from all our tweets/articles without attribution.
But such is Twitter.
“What is ‘post-math,’ supposed to mean?”
I could be wrong, but think it was meant as a compliment to Mitchell and dig at Nate Silver.
I take “math” in this context to mean the reality of the 2016 election.
Pre-math (pre-election), Nate Silver was seen by many as the premiere election forecast prophet. Post-math (post election), not so much.
Buzzfeed = Fakefeed
Tagthebird claims these are among the best Mitchell tweets. Some are fairly old, and I’ve certainly see funnier tweets (Mitchell has a very keen sense of humor), but fwiw:

Interesting! Thanks for explaining that.
Sorry Brother Larry, I don’t Tweet/Twitter or whatever.
Some of us old cavemen guys/gals just discovered fire!
I let the Freeper Tweeters find the good stuff from Trump and others and post it.
Thanks for that great link.
I laughe so hard, my tear ducts got over loaded~
Anybody know where CNN Jim Acosta has gone? Crickets, lately. Did he run out of gas?
What is this “fire” of which you speak?
