Nate Silver is delusional. FLORIDA? No. Just look at the numbers. GOP turnout was about 2.3 million, Dems was 1.7. That's MORE THAN HALF A MILLION more votes. Additionally, Trump only got 20,000 less votes than Hillary and there were like 12 names on the GOP ballot.

And Ohio? Hillary Clinton won over Sanders by 14%.

Donald Trump didn't even win and he still got more votes than Hillary in Ohio.

Nate must be using his fat GOPe paychecks to buy limitless supplies of crack cocaine.

It’s those numerous people on the GOP ballot that are bringing in the high turnout. Cruz is getting record turnout in the states he’s winning too.

Less Dem candidates and a less competitive primary are attracting less voters to their primary. But Hillary still is bringing in more voters for her than Trump or any Republican got.

The primary turnout doesn’t predict general election turnout. Especially since the Dems are trying to suppress primary turnout so Hillary can walk in, by putting debates on Saturdays and stuff. They won’t be suppressing turnout in the general.

What does primary turnout have to do with the general election? The answer is little. Many many people that didn’t vote in the primaries will vote in the general.

Hillary leads Trump in the polls, if she wins by the current margin she’s leading she would win Ohio and Florida for a certainty.

If you wanna poopoo the polls, that’s fine. But that’s what an analyst bases his analysis on.
