Nuclear codes. Four years may be more than ANY of us have.
And there will still be a bunch of middle class white dudes, huddled together in a nuclear winter, saying "Hillary was just as bad".

Yeah, I'm starting to think the same thing.

If this holds there really does need to be a reckoning with the pollsters and press.

trag, I love you. I really do. Nate Silver doesn't account for Trump supporters, pollsters do. He just goes with the data he has. He's been wringing his hands for months because he's heard stories of pollsters throwing out outliers--for example, people throwing out polls where Trump was close or winning in Virginia--and if polls like those were in the model, there's a chance it'd be closer.

Wisconsin is also in play. And NH. And do we trust NV exit polls right now?

Yeah, MI being the big one is predicated on WI holding and the early voting in Nevada putting it in her corner.
