Compared to other pollsters and political analysts he probably DID do a good job.

But that's kind of like me saying I'm a better triathlete than anyone living in the nursing home up the road, isn't it?

We have an opportunity for millions of patriots to stop everything LEAVE jobs, homes whatever and march on DC

Or we can wait and let China pick us off as we cower in the homes we tryed to save.

Dead serious if DEMs steal the election we have a choice to make I hope its the risky choice of defending our liberty

This guy thinks that by putting star coordinates into a spreadsheet meant for legitimately ascertained and corrected polling numbers, he should get out the back end something relevant.

He doesn’t.

If “did a good job” translates to “consigning the polling industry to the ash heap of history” well you sure did Nate!

Especially if Cuomo is your Governor.

Dems are going to get violent soon and Fake News will blame Trump for not conceding. Probably the GOP, too.

Silver needs a real job he can handle—like mopping floors at the DNC.

telling critics “**** you, we did a good job.”

He did a good job. A good job providing psy-ops. His polls were designed to shape the narrative that Biden was going to be the "winner" and they were intended to discourage voting for Trump.
