It's difficult to judge too hard based on primaries, especially given that his methodology is based on polling because both Clinton (minority voters) and Sanders (1st time and young voters) are hard to poll for in a primary election especially. But in spite of that, the polling was generally right on the winner if not the margin of victory in any given states. There were a couple of notable examples like Michigan, but if one looked at the demographics of the state, it was pretty clear Sanders should have been favored.

I'm not sure why you think Silver has been wrong so often, but okay.
