Silver is a moron - and he thinks Trump is only 36% of winning??
Hears a tip, Silver - Trump is taking PA, MI and probably WI and MN too.

Maine’s 2nd District is solidly in the “R” camp. It’s the twats down Portland way who are in Lalaland.

“Renowned statistician”... well, hardly.
But he has been near the top of a poor bunch of electoral forecasters this year.
