These percentages that Nate Silver comes up with, remind of the Star Trek episode where Kirk and Spock are on a planet battling an adversary, and Spock keeps updating his and Kirk’s survival probability — “Right now we have a 31.765% chance of surviving,” etc.

“These percentages that Nate Silver comes up with”

Part of his business model. He puts out these feel good predictions and democrats keep coming back driving traffic to his website.

According to idiot Silver Trump has a 25% chance of winning.

Even though even MSM polls are beginning to show the race as tied.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about and uses statistics to lie.
