Anyone let Nate know he’s delusional?

I predict that between now and November Nate Silvers predictions of Democratic takeover of the House will fluctuate somewhere between 0 and 100%. This way he can say he was right no matter what happens.

Nate Silver predicted Hillary had a 79% chance of beating Trump.

So they have a lower chance of taking the house than they did of Hillary winning.

Isn’t Nate the guy whose predictions are always 100 percent? Or was that 1 per cent?

Dick Morris thinks Republicans are gonna hold the House.

That prediction makes me worry. He is almost 100 percent in his predictions. I can remember only one time he was right.

I’d say that’s high.

The Democrats are likely to gain House seats, but I think it will be in the single digits. Meanwhile, the Republicans will almost certainly gain Senate seats, so it’s effectively a wash.

Either way, you gotta love what Nate's doing with his hair these days. This guy is on the cutting edge. He doesn't follow the trends. Duuude. He should wear a cape.

Anyone that uses that, regardless of who, needs corrected on the spot. Tucker does it and lots of others who know better. STOP IT !

More importantly, has anyone let him know he has the world’s worst haircut?

Seriously, dude, just shave your head.

Even a manbun (gag) looks good in comparison.

[It looks like an anti-Mohawk.]

I think you’re correct.

Maybe Nate Silver had a George Costanza moment and decided to do the opposite.

If every instinct he had was wrong, then the opposite would have to be the correct response.

Hey, given the history of midterm elections and GOP retirements, the odds should favor the Democrats to retake the House with a slim majority. This election result is not inevitable if the GOP mobilize a turnout. Apathy is our biggest enemy.

I am hoping for a miracle. Because it you look at the primary results from last week, the dems came out in full force. Our guys barely made an effort.

I can understand if you live in a district or have a senator that is a proven RINO, but hold your nose and vote R.

Meanwhile, youtube has lots of youtubes that help you relive the 2016 all over again. I recommend 31 Mike on youtube. He has a great selection of election night broadcast, including BBC and Canadian coverage. I liked to watch the smug looks on their faces dissolve.
