On average, the D less R margin in the early vote mispredicted the final Clinton/Trump margin by 14 points! Pollsters get yelled at when their polls are off by even 3 points, and anything more than that is considered an absolute disaster. Imagine if a poll was off by 14 points: no one would ever listen to it again! And yet we get the same frankly amateurish analysis of the early vote in every election.

    Weirdly antagonistic tone…

    Not weirdly antagonistic at all when you quite literally challenged me.

    I’d list others but I doubt you’d read it anyway

    You are the antagonizer. Eat a cumsock.

    I see you decided to step down from your antagonization you literally asked for:

    I’d list others but I doubt you’d read it anyway

    Which was a wise move on a plaintext debate platform since you know you’re 100% out of steam.

    Have a good night Holmes.

    Edit: to be perfectly clear here…

    • You posted about Nate silver.
    • I responded with my discontent towards Nate silver…
    • You responded attacking and challenging me, personally
    • I stepped up
    • You went trump mode? Attacked me again instead of the argument.
    • I am now calling you out on bad rhetoric.
