Nate Silver failed miserably... groped by less-educated-white voters in USA.

IBD poll is the real deal. 538 was a dud.

In addition to less-educated-whites, 51% young white-women voted for Trump, so pussy-grabbing may become presidential.

Let me see if I hear one sexual misconduct complaint from god-fearing, values-driven Republicans.

President Trump may punish women going for abortions, so where will Texans, Arizonans, Floridians will be going for their next abortion.

Seems like you agree with Trump here:

If we don't decide the religion of terrorists,
then soon someday, the terrorists will decide our religion.

I'm happy Trump agrees with me on this much like many Democrats.

I'm also a Democrat who is a fiscal conservative and for protecting US borders. As Democrat I do not want a ban on Muslims entering USA.

I still wanted a US president who does not lie despite having video and audio proof. Someone who is not thin-skinned, without sexual misconduct and does not bully others... much like what you would teach to a child.

Your Presidential winner is a loser, not a role model for children (anyone) around you.... and we know it.

Nate Silver did a decent job. Most other pollsters and models were projecting a 90% of higher probability for a Clinton victory. In fact, Trump insiders were saying things like "it will take a miracle for us to win FL" -- much less win the electoral college. As late as yesterday morning. And people on the left were ridiculing Nate for being too conservative and trying to hedge his bets.

While I can understand the glee and schadenfreude that the right is experiencing this morning, let us not forget that nobody -- not even Trump -- expected to win this thing as of yesterday afternoon. They had a small probability of winning and they knew it, and Nate Silver called it. A 32% probability is like playing Russian roulette with two bullets in the revolver. Not exactly a low-probability chance that any sane person would take.

correct. Idiotic Nate had earlier written that the IBD poll (which correctly predicted this general election) "is not trustworthy". See http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/ibdtipp-doctors-poll-is-not-trustworthy/

Nate has lost all credibility now, first after getting the republican primaries wrong, and then getting the general election wrong.
