FiveThirtyEight website’s Nate Silver is apparently still sore from his inaccurate ‘prediction’ that Hillary was going to be elected and that Donald Trump had no chance of winning. Silver released some of his frustration over Twitter on Friday by mocking President-elect Donald Trump’s call for expanded nuclear capabilities by predicting what all-out nuclear war could do to the electoral map.
Here’s what the electoral map would look like if only people who weren’t burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted. pic.twitter.com/MsrkuOjZWi

Silver’s Tweet was in response to a Tweet Trump put out on Thursday:
The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

Here is more ‘BRILLIANCE’ coming out of Nate Silver’s mind:
Oops Wrong Again…
Usually hate these 12-dimensional chess arguments, but seems possible Trump floated Tillerson expecting to withdraw him later… https://t.co/16R7Y5c57x

Oh so sad…
I’ll put it like this: Clinton would almost certainly be President-elect if the election had been held on Oct. 27 (day before Comey letter).

Those pesky FBI investigations…
Clinton lost 4 states (FL, MI, WI, PA) by ~1 point. If not for Comey/Russia, she probably wins them all by ~2 points & strategy looks great.

Apparently A LOT of people on Twitter don’t agree with Mr. Silver:
@NateSilver538 Nate Silver sucks at statistics and couldn’t correctly pick the outcome of the election. This is the GLOBE IF HILLARY WON: pic.twitter.com/DluEsei090
