Nate Silver says the chances of Trump winning...

"Trump’s 17 percent chance in the polls-plus model, as we’ve pointed out before, is the same as your chances of losing a “game” of Russian roulette."

Unfortunately quite an apt analogy on multiple levels

17% probability is like the lowest score on the SAT...if you put down your name and guess every question, you'll get 1 out of 5 and a score of 20%ile.

My pet schnauzer could get 20-30% of the vote because they hate Hillary...

At this point, Trump is only supported by the deplorables, KKkooks, dumbasses, Archie Bunkers, gun nuts, and the Russians.

We've already voted (Florida by mail), but this could be the biggest landslide in my lifetime (and I'm getting old).
