Yeah, sure

FiveThirtyEight’s extraordinary prediction model is failing in the Clinton-Trump race — and that’s according to its guru, Nate Silver

The internet venerates the website’s founder, Nate Silver, as “America’s Chief Wizard” after his statistical polling model correctly predicted the results of the 2012 presidential contest in every state and the District of Columbia. 

But Silver’s fans are freaking out as Trump’s chance of winning has tripled in two weeks.

So now even Nate Silver is in full denial mode, insisting his own methods are at fault.

But isn't it the Republicans who behave like this, just denying the polls and models when they show bad news?

Not the "reality based" Democrats, eh?
