Nate Silver is not legitimate? OK...

Anyone who knocks Nate Silver is a certified idiot. Was he supposed to say Trump was the favorite? Numbskull conservatives seem to have zero comprehension that there are odds associated with all of this stuff. Nate Silver is not a predictor. He is not a pollster. He is a compiler. He has a fantastic methodology for incorporating political polls into his model and spitting out the applied odds. His work is so revolutionary that it has changed political wagering everywhere. Prior to Nate Silver there were handouts galore.

SAMs love to rant about things they know nothing about. So naturally Nate Silver became a convenient target. SAMs wanted Trump to win. Nate Silver said Hillary was favorite. Therefore Nate Silver became a target of their wrath once Trump did win, even though Nate Silver was giving Trump far greater mathematical chance than anyone else who was doing the same thing and had any type of credibility. Naturally you can always find online clowns who will scream the upset. They have no long term credibility.

Opinion of Nate Silver is another one of the fantastic litmus tests

This thread was absolutely fûcking glorious for the last 50-60 pages. Went from differences in times zones, to an education on what a fine theatrical masterpiece the movie Airplane was, which led to a political/economic/global warming argument, then for a brief moment our hopes of landing King come crashing down by some random tweet with WQAM as the source before he announced. Now we are at bring on Clemson. I love this place.

What sort of scientist are you?

Marine science, which included physical and chemical oceanography coursework. Also did a research project on climate change back in '92 and there were literally hundreds of scientific papers on the topic dating back to the 70's, long before it even became a political issue. Even oil company research coming to the same conclusion.

Ok, since now we've established neither of us are climatologists, meteorologists or otherwise climate scientists... please refute this quack who IS a little bit credentialed.
Quack warming.

It’s only a political issue because of the special interests bankrolling certain politicians. Science and data are what they are, and a 5 minute google search is no foundation from which to argue.

Exit polls bruh. We amazing bad. You aren't as informed, or aware as you think you are...

Exit polls have trouble because of the Shy Tory factor applying to American politics. Conservatives are less trustful of media and companies that do polling, so they are less likely to agree to participate. That can skew the polls. The 2004 early exit polls were absurdly favorable to Kerry. They were so screwed up I knew immediately he had lost. I turned off the computer and TV and went to sleep even while other liberals were celebrating to supposed victory to follow.

2000 wasn't about fraud so much as incompetent ballot design. Palm Beach got all the headlines but there were more than 20 Florida counties with multi page ballot designs, leading to over votes. The exit polling was correct that more people voted for Gore and told exit pollsters they voted for Gore. But once the votes were disqualified due to over voting, Gore ended up 537 votes behind. If the votes had been registered as intended, most estimates are that Gore would have carried the state by at least 20,000 votes and up to 50,000 votes. The Patrick Buchanon example got the most attention but there was an obscure candidate named Monica Moorehead who was also on the Florida ballot and received an absurd amount of votes in some counties due to the multi page design. Those votes were intended for Al Gore. Even if the Pat Buchanon votes were ignored, Gore would still have been elected president if merely the over votes that chose Gore and then Monica Moorehead had gone rightfully to Gore instead of being throw out.
