Biden(moving my post and the quote here since it could derail the other topic, shame on me.
I don't know if anyone else saw the video on twitter of the couple wearing swastika masks to the supermarket and the woman saying that would be Joe Biden's America if he's elected. It was pointed out that we fought a war against the Nazis and they lost. I didn't want to bring the video here. How many Nazis are out there? Do they feel safe wearing that emblem? I mean, free speech is a right but I wouldn't go out and poke a hornet's nest just because I can. I'm not crazy as far as I know.mcgruff10 said:
I hope they realize the truth and put those masks in a hole in the ground with some dog poop.
Hey Nazis, get a nice sports team mask.

I didn't say we should ignore the polls. I said the overall percentage will be largely meaningless and that the states themselves will tell the story. We don't have a national vote so pointing to a national polling average seems a bit like trying to predict who will win the World Series by calculating who will score the most runs over seven games. It might get you the right answer, but only if the losing team (Clinton) doesn't win game 1 (California) in a rout.Gern Blansten said:

His lead in the swing states is close to the national lead. 7.6 in Mich. 6.7 in PA and and 7.1 in WI. Well over margin of error. The fact that the national lead is so large is a good indicator of what will happen on Election Day. In '16 HRC's lead was never close to as big. Her average rarely got over 45-45%, thus her state leads were also slimmer.JimmyV said:

No not really. I would say 70% was reasonable, especially considering only 70,000 people out of 130 MILLION essentially decided the election. And also Jim fucking Comey was extremely difficult to factor in so close to Election Day.JimmyV said:

58% is better than 70% based on what happened, not on what Silver predicted was going to happen. Trump's number should have been lower and Hillary's higher based on the numbers in WI, MI and PA. Trump had no path to 270 without at least one of those and he was at less than 28.6 in all three. Pointing to the national prediction allows us to ignore Silver was essentially predicting a close popular vote but an electoral college landslide for Clinton. I don't fault him for that and it's not that far off from what I thought was going to happen. But I was wrong, and so was he.The Juggler said:

58% or 70% is not 100%. It just meant HRC was the prohibitive favorite...which she was. Plenty of others had HRC as around a 90% lock on Election Day.
538 was more accurate than any other forecasting model.www.myspace.com0
