2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNate Silver: "Hillary Clinton probably had the best year in Washington"
From his Twitter:
Hillary Clinton, whose chances of becoming the 45th president have risen from ~35% to ~55%, has probably had the best year in Washington.
https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/679864639593787392
Later in the conversation when asked about his assumptions on how Clinton could be at ~55% likely to become president (I edited out of the Tweet reference to who he was replying to and an errant ? typo):
Just safely assuming:
1) HRC has gone from likely to very likely D nominee.
2) Real chance GOP injures itself

HRC is looking good!

Do they want a landslide loss? Trump and Cruz could ensure that.
