This is from a rival Nate, but the title and content of this article don't seem to match.

There Are More White Voters Than People Think. That’s Good News for Trump.

They article itself mainly talks about how more white people voted for Obama in 2012 than exit polls indicated, and how Trump will have to bring in even more white votes to make up for the loss in women and minority voters.

Also the real "missing whites" are the young people who voted for Obama in 2008 but stayed home in 2012.

grrr, right?? I would watch Last Week Tonight if there was an edited version that took out the second half his formulae "Our weeks top story: THING. Or, as I like to call it, TERRIBLE JOKE ABOUT THING FOLLOWED BY HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER." Especially when it's like making fun of another country or Putin or something. Gives it a creepy vibe.

Speaking of the camo MAGA hat, it seems like Trump only started wearing recently, which seems counterintuitive when it would have been more appealing to GOP primary voters than the general electorate.

I cold be wrong though, has Trump worn that version of the hat before?

Wasn't he pretty wrong even about that? I thought I remembered him having Bernie performing way, way worse across the board.

Sanders won over 40% of the vote and more than 20 state contests. Thats not exactly losing badly, and I would ge genuinely surprised if Silver had predicted him doing anything near that well back in January.

You mean back when the polls had him in single digits. No, he probably did not predict Sanders to win much.
