The Gossip Kids Are Not Too Bright, Part A Billion

But Sam Wang has to stop going on the tee vee with that reactionary racist asshole Smerconish.   Wang probably cultivates a bit of the absent-minded professor shtick, but that Smerconish is a nasty piece of racist trash.  The gossip kids can't really understand much, but it might be helpful if Wang explained how the turnout/voter models of all the polls were wrong, so the predictive abilities were shit given the small lead Clinton had.  That was the failure: building a model of who was actually going to vote.  And none of the polls had it right because turnout was down so much this year.  Trump underperformed Romney and Clinton way underperformed Obama.
