You know it's bad for Democrats when disgraced Nate Silver turns on Hillary Clinton.

Nate Silver on Clinton's 2016 Campaign: 'Most Negative Campaign in History


Some of us said the "establishment" would start to turn on each other. So it begins. Silver was a darling of the left for years.

(bad news for Democrats, Hillary was moderate compared to some of the dingbats that are left)

Clinton's message was vote for me because i'm not that buffoon Trump

Which was good enough for most of the voters but not enough to win the electoral college

Go back and look at his predictions for 2016 starting with "Trump has a 2% chance of being nominated".

OP doesn't understand statistics or polling thus thinks that a mid 70s percentile advantage to the losing candidate in aggregate polls leading up to an election means the polls and statisticians are discredited. I blame the schools for failing to instill a proper math education in a large enough segment of the population allowing this kind of thinking to have wide appeal.

Silver has given his mea culpa for that. He still has a better track record than most. You have impossibly high standards.

I have a masters in electrical engineering. You want to dance toe to toe on math issues I'll be glad to. But I'm guessing you will head for the hills on that one.

But that is aside from the point. You simply seek to use personal insult to address something that you don't like. Go look up the world "deplorable". It didn't work for Hillary either.

Thank you for reminding us about Hillary's negativity.
