Definitely. The models are only as good as the polling that goes into them and the polling was way off this time. Nate's model was actually much more conservative this election giving Trump a 29% chance of winning compared to 9% for Romney due to the very high number of undecided voters. | ||

We're probably not going to know all of the too-close-to-calls until after 11:00, I think. Maybe midnight. | ||

Have you seen Paul Ryan's reaction to the man? It's the most craven shit imaginable. "I will sort of but um- no not -yes - go -vlote for him." Whatever that winds up meaning. Can't convince me that Ryan won't just roll over like a lapdog every time Trump asks. If Trump walked onto the house floor and shot every democrat dead, most of the GOP would just clap. Plus look at Trump's cabinet picks - they're fucking INSANE. Chris Christie AG, Newt Gingrich SoS? | ||
