Nate Silver got it WRONG!!!

[Chichiri]

Nate Silver just said that if Bernie ties with Hillary on the night, then he'll need 59% of all remaining delegates.

That's a LIE!!

I did the math myself, and he'll only need 58.6%!

NATE SILVER IS A $HILLARY $HILL!!!!!!!111





(Yes, that's sarcasm.)

1. Your article head is right though. He got it wrong as Clinton beat Sanders in AZ . . .

the first state reporting tonight of the 8 Silver said Sanders would win.

[Codeine]

3. He never said anything of the sort.

Some dipshit Bernie fan wrote an article claiming he did. It was nonsense.

7. Hey, I got a good jury for once.

A close one, but whatever. I'll take it.

12. Take this too. This link shows that Silver predicted BS would win the 8 states

http://www.politicalpeopleblog.com/bernie-sanders-set-to-win-all-of-the-upcoming-8-states/

According to polling expert Nate Silver, Bernie Sanders is likely to win all of the upcoming 8 states in the race to become the Democratic nominee. Silver boasts a long record of accurate predictions which includes successfully calling the outcomes in 49 of the 50 states in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, for example. As a result of that particular achievement, he was named one of The World’s 100 Most Influential People by Time in 2009.

13. Sigh. Read it properly. Critically.

Realize it says no such thing.

9. It's in the link below

10. No, it is not.

Even a casual reading of the article will demonstrate that.

[brush]

14. You must not have read it as it's in the first paragraph

16. Omfg. Read the whole thing.

It's a huge misrepresentation of what Silvers has said. You've been shown that and you keep insisting otherwise so at this point I have to assume you're being deliberately dishonest.

[stevenleser]

20. Brush is trolling. They know the truth and are trying to mess with us. nt

[onenote]

4. Care to show us where Silver ever said Sanders would win Arizona.

I won't be holding my breath.

Either you're spouting second-hand information without making the slightest effort to verify if its true. Or you're making an intentional misstatement. Not a good result either way.

6. Right here in the link below.

8. That's someone claiming he said something

he did not say. Read the entire thing.

[stevenleser]

11. When you read that link, it notes Silver said Sanders had only a 40% chance of winning

Arizona, so no, Silver did not say that in that article or anywhere else.

[brush]

15. This is the first paragraph

[stevenleser]

17. And notice no link anywhere in that paragraph right? And no quotes. The article

writer made that up.

[brush]

18. Here's the link

[stevenleser]

19. That's not a link to anything Nate Silver said. nt

[brush]

21. OK, you don't think the link is credible. But weren't BS supporters saying these western . . .

were where Bernie would win and catch up in delegates, the same sentiment in the first paragraph of the link?

[Logical]

2. Another classy Hillary supporter! Nt
