Trump managed to put a stake in both the bush dynasty and nate silver

in like 4 months.

Dude is one of the most miraculous figures in recent political memory.

[Sasquatch]

TRUMP is doing the Lord's work by disposing of these low energy losers, Jeb! and Nerdboy538.

Who wants to be STUMPED by TRUMP next?

[IceSpear]

I'm pretty sure Nate put the stake in himself when he decided to transition from hard data to punditry with a side of data.

[Phony Moderate]

And Fox News. And maybe (in about nine months' time) the Clinton Dynasty.

Quick correction: no stake has been put in Nate Silver. He always gave Trump a non-trivial chance of winning. That you guys don't understand statistics isn't his fault.

1,5% is non-trivial? (And Silver clearly really felt the chance was even lower than that)

The problem with Silver's analysis was that he hackishly ignored all evidence that could point in Trump's favour, while almost uncritically accepting anything that could count against him.

Putting the nail in the coffin of discredited fraud Nate Silver's reputation may be TRUMP's greatest achievement, yes.

[Lyin' Steve]

I'm pretty sure I remember Nate giving TRUMP a negative ten percent chance on one of those stupid odds podcasts.  Maybe it was one of the other dopes.  One of those guys also gave Perry like a twenty percent chance.

And Bill Kristol and the rest of the bumbling neocons.

Not only the counting, but indeed the devouring, of the chickens before they have been hatched, continues I see at warp speed. The ensuing bloated bellies of the feasters may prove to be easy prey for those then ravenous forumites who have remained abstemious.

Torie, unless he absolutely blows this debate Thursday - it's over

His tone about Trump and his objective forecast changed over time as Trump's numbers increased.

LoL.

I actually find it more annoying than funny.
