His tweets from August prove nothing, dude. The average of the polls was within the MoE and yet Silver's model adjusted it to give Trump a better chance...

Some ask what has Trump done so far - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/18 17:27:51
     What has he actually done? - Hbombtiger STL - 2/18 17:35:37
          Nothing - he blew a third of his first 100 so far - raskolnikov MU - 2/18 17:36:52
               Are you pretending to be normal and living in the real world - Uncle Fester USMC - 2/18 17:56:07
               Actually his popularity is hitting upper 30's(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 17:37:21
                    Actually his popularity is hitting mid-50s - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 17:41:06
                         That's Rasmussen son. Do you know who Rasmussen polls? - raskolnikov MU - 2/18 19:17:09
                              Polls you liked totally missed the entire election. - RHAYWORTH MU - 2/18 20:51:24
                         Actually, his popularity did reach the mid 50's... - mizzoumurfkc MU - 2/18 19:08:35
                              It is way high with GOP voters, it is a honeymoon* - raskolnikov MU - 2/18 19:21:49
                         Actually I'm not. Here's Gallup (link) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 17:45:09
                              Gallup completely missed the election... - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 17:48:22
                                   Rasmussen polls 'likely voters' - raskolnikov MU - 2/18 19:18:01
                                   That's not correct. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 17:59:24
                                        it is correct - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:02:22
                                             Nope. Nate Silver says you're wrong. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:08:03
                                                  That's in nate's vested interest - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:10:12
                                                       He was the one who said Trump had a chance to win. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:11:26
                                                            hardly ... you're a dupe. To wit: - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:13:40
                                                                 That doesn't prove what you think it does. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:17:05
                                                                      Keep telling yourself that. - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:20:23
                                                                           Silver had been pumping Trump up since primaries. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:22:00
                                                                                Not in the general - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:22:58
                                                                                     You're wrong again. From the article you wouldn't read: - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:25:14
                                                                                          I watched Nate before the election - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:28:48
                                                                                               Not true. He gave Trump a greater chance than almost - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:35:49
                                                                                                    That's a vapid excuse. - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:38:38
                                                                                                         No he didn't. He didn't underestimate him at all. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:40:07
                                                                                                              wrong again - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:46:03
                                                                                                                   You restating it doesn't make it true. (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 19:06:04
                                                                                          You're wrong as usual. What else is new!(nm) - STL1DFW STL - 2/18 18:27:39
                                                                                               he can't understand what he posts - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:29:48
                                                                                                    He gets spastic. It's a trait of the - STL1DFW STL - 2/18 19:31:47

                         RE: Actually his popularity is hitting mid-50s - playhard NWMSU - 2/18 17:42:46
                              Gallup completely missed the election, too - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 17:44:31
                                   You can't use polls only when you like them - Hbombtiger STL - 2/18 17:48:10
                                        They were right on par historically and within MoE(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:00:05
                                             but for saying Trump had no chance - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:03:20
                                                  Nate is the one who said Trump had a chance. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:08:32
                                                       Nate gave Trump 1 in 3 - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:11:39
                                                            Your link - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:17:42
                                                                 no, that's Nate being self-serving - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:21:02
                                                                      If you completly ignore the link and what Silver says.(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:22:29
                                                                           no, you're trying to ignore how Taleb abused him - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:26:38
                                                                                Do you not realize 538's model was based on current - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:34:41
                                                                                     all the polls were about the election - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:39:25
                                                                                          You don't know much about Taleb and Silver's model then. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 18:40:56
                                                                                               that defense is undone by the simple fact - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 18:48:34
                                                                                                    He gave him far more than a scant chance. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 19:07:26
                                                                                                         wrong. Taleb nailed him. - FootballRefugee MU - 2/18 20:48:25
