Who said Democrats winning was a done deal thanks to Trump? Debunking a narrative that was never advanced doesn't prove half as much as you seem to think it does, or anything at all for that matter.

I agree. The Democrats have lately proved very proficient at pulling a defeat out of the jaws of victory.

LOL.

Nate Silver says Trump has 2% of being nominated, Democrats, Trump haters, and general leftists praise Nate Silver. Call him the pollster wunderkind. Trump deranged create topic after topic on CD.

Now Nate Silver says Democrats are on sinking ship. Topic will be ignored like a plague ship on CD.

Regularly successful polling and calculation model fails to predict the future on rare instances, therefore model should be ignored. Media sources whose very survival depends on being able to regularly provide accurate reporting has to issue an occasional retraction or correction, therefore should be ignored.

Remember, facts are only facts when they agree with Cult 45's preconceptions. Otherwise they're "fake news".

That's why the near tripling of the Stock Market from 2009 to 2016 was "a bubble", was pumped up by QE, wasn't real...until January 20th, 2017, when it was just another Trump miracle to the Faithful.

That's why the number reported from BLS from 2009 to 2016 were all fake...until January 20th, 2017, when it became proof that Trump was sent by God to save the United States.

I could go on, but then I'd just be preaching to the rational....who know this stuff already.

And just like that Nate Silver will be trashed by the Statists after being raised on a pedestal like they did. That's what they do, they use you, then toss you aside when you are no longer providing useful propaganda for them.

Bingo.

Hundreds of posts here praising Nate Silver. Now they don't like him. LOL.

The intellectual dishonesty is amazing.
