Nate Silver's latest attempt to kiss up to Trump and get a vendor license with Trump Media.

Transparent much?

1. He is saying it is too late in the game to be reflected in the polls, and its effect is unknown

In other words if Hillary wins big, he has his escape clause

2. He's gone way downhill since the NYT bought him out

And even further since they traded him to ESPN for a pundit to be named later.

6. I respect Silver.

I don't think he has a political bias. He's put together the model that he thinks is most predictive.

We'll all know if he's right by about Tuesday midnight.

7. Michael Jordan

There's the well-known quote from Michael Jordan when he was asked why he didn't get involved in politics. Jordan said: "Republicans buy sneakers too."
Nate Silver and the major media outlets want to attract conservatives as well as liberals to their sites/stations. Therefore they have to give those folks some reasons to click in/tune in.
Its the business model.
