- Recent polls show Pennsylvania as a tie or slightly favoring Trump.

Oh, Nate Silver? The guy who is a degenerate gambler who was gambling up to $10k a day while he was in charge of 538, and only took the shutdown as a sign he should back off… Not that he needed some serious self reflection for an obviously serious problem and that he failed his employees? That Nate Silver?
Nate Silver’s new book makes clear he has a gambling problem, is obsessed with it, and isn’t even as smart or clever as others who have written about it.
