Heaven for-fucking-bid that an automotive blog get out in front of a political story that is directly at the heart of the American automotive industry and which they can talk about with knowledge, depth, and most importantly, specific knowledge of models, plants, and a history of tracking where vehicles are slated to

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way

Yeah, he’s a weird scapegoat in this saga. Flash back a week and a half ago and there were people all over the internet (including on this family of websites) writing pieces about how he was being way too bullish about Trump’s chances. Now, we’re blaming him for not being bullish enough...

Silver constantly warned that this election was different given the volatility in the polls and the large amount of undecided voters.

Say what you will about intellectual superiority, at least I’m smart enough to know the actual value of my Massachusetts non-vote and your Kentucky Hillary-vote. Neither one of us had any impact, nor could we have had any impact, on the presidential election. You can play all the mental gymnastics you want, but the

Non-voters have just as much right to respond to the results.

Many of these people were forced into Obamacare, and don’t want/need/can’t afford it. As soon as the announcements that rates were going to double for some people, I knew Trump would win. He said he would repeal and replace it and that was enough for many of these people. They voted with their wallets. Rural

Except if you support a racist, sexist, xenophobe to lead your country, you are one, regardless of your reasoning. Obviously democrats should have done a better job trying to win votes from rust belt whites, but the people who voted for Trump don’t get a free pass on their bigoted act.

This morning, many Americans woke up fearful, wondering what comes next. The only possible answer: four years of
