...though they did get 519 out of 537 races correct that night. No polling in Wisconsin, margin of error in Pa and FL. Trump had a 1 in 3 chance of winning that night, same as the Cavs and the Cubs that year after Game 5 of the finals and World Series. Sometimes the odds come in...as it did for the Cavs and Cubs, who won the last two games, and for Trump, who pulled the inside straight. It happens.
