I don't see him posting how the Bettfair was way more accurate than his polls.
I also get that Nate Silver doesnt poll himself, but he aggreates polling information, assign grades and mixes it into his formula. I just have zero trust in it. It's not like we get to test his predictions often. 1 sample size every 4 years.

Trump should have been at best a slight favorite before the effect of the postals started showing in the counts.
