(6,991 posts)And during the 2008/2012 General election cycles, Nate was golden--kept me calm, cool and collected. But this particular election cycle, something about him has been off to me. Yes, we know that there are reasons voting patterns have been all over the place which has cause volatility to voting this year IE: Under counted Hispanic vote, under counted black vote in some areas, the women's vote coming out big, and I don't think Nate is that much into including early voting into his models which is his choice. But to me, and I'm only speaking for me, I don't get the sense that Nate's as "independent" as he used to be when he was @ the NY Times. He's also been extremely defensive as people continue to call him out because he was wrong about how far Trump would go in the GOP primaries, let alone where that clown Trump is now, and that's running for POTUS. IIRC, Nate called Trump "Sideshow Don" during the primaries.
Anyways, I've been over at Sam Wang's most of this election cycle staying calm and mostly stress-free. Sam's been very bullish on Hillary all year and Nate's been bearish on her.
