No try again.

My argument is that Nate Silver's analysis = rubbish and therefore liberals fawning over his brilliance are clueless.



Nate Silver analyzes polls with his special math formulas...yet his prediction success rates are BELOW a SIMPLE AVERAGE of recent polls on RCP.

Hence his analysis is rubbish if simple elementary math has a higher success rate than his "genius" to analyze the polls.



My comment has nothing to do with who will win in 2016 and everything to do with the JOKE that it is to think that thus far Silver is a proven brilliant poll analysis even though he has a worse success rate than a simple average.

Uh; that can be said about some of Hillary's voter's, too. Like la raza, alt-left "libs" of any "race" and the BLM hood rats.

Too; "Redneck" ain't much of a slur in 2016, it's actually a good thing many times. lol

Many anti la raza "Hispanics" are now claiming "anglo white" in 2016. Us whities will be just fine.

The point I'm trying to make is that the decline in the n/h white share of total votes cast was happening before Obama, it continued during Obama, and it will most likely continue after Obama, because it is driven not by a surge in black turnout, but in a decline in the percentage of registered voters that are n/h white that started 36 years ago and has continues unabated in every election with the exception of 1992 when it spiked upward by 2%.

.

Not talking total %. Notice the black vote spike under BHO. The white % down is more due to Latinos increasing, than long-term black turnout rising.


Inner city turnout will reset I'd bet to Pre BHO levels plus the typical +1 mill per cycle, which would mean .5 ill fewer votes from blacks today than in 2004.


Hillary holds no special demographic interest for inner city America. BHO did.
