POLLS, PREDICTING THE FUTURE AND PREPARING YOURSELF

Combover hair, don't care.

Nate Silver's 2016 Election Forecast has been my go-to homepage lately, because the this guy who correctly predicted the outcome of the 2012 election in all 50 states knows a bit about what he's doing. As of this morning, the polls-only forecast shows:

You areeee so beautiful to meee.
(By the way, have you guys listened to that song lately? That line repeats roughly 200 times.
It became a hit by merely beating the listener over the head with its only-have-eyes-for-you-ness.)

Again, as an American abroad, watching the political race with gritted teeth, having some assurance that Mr. Reality TV may in fact be a passing trend makes it a bit easier to breathe. Even if his own staff members can't believe that they are down in the polls. 

So now it begs the question: are we waking up? Did the recent move by 20 or so GOP leaders renouncing the man make a difference? 

Or have we just started realizing what that future actually looks like?

This video is most definitely completely unrelated to the above discussion and in no way represents the musings of an attention-crazed egomaniac who had a rough go in his childhood or the nature of said egomaniac's followers. La la la.
