> And when I see Dan, Nate Silver and various other insider pundits saying what they are saying, I have been to enough rodeos to know that thoughts are being planted from the Obama-Clinton consultant class (not you, and you know who I mean). This is not helpful to Hillary, quite the contrary, Bernie has zero chance of being nominated and Hillary is going to need every liberal supporting her to vote, which is why I am being very friendly to Bernie and will have some credibility when the time comes to encourage his people to get on the train with Hillary.

- Houshalter 10y agoThere's no question that 538 is anti-Trump. That shouldn't affect their statistical model, which gave much higher odds to Trump than most other models. I don't see the relevance of either of those links.
- SixSigma 10y agoThe point of the other links is that Nate is compromising his professional image through punditry. If I asked a consultant for advice on the future of my sector of the economy and then found a series of blog posts bashing my industry which were all unfounded, I would call his judgment into question. At best, he is trying to influence the very thing he is supposed to me impartially analysing.
