For reference this is referring to Alaska, Montana, South Carolina, Kansas

Based on this the maths are simple

Odds at least 1 flips: 68%
At least 2 flip: 25%
At least 3: 5%
All 4: <1%

This is really encouraging math.

So Trump has a slightly worse chance of winning the presidency than we do of taking two of these seats.

That said, itā€™s probably pretty likely that Iā€™m overstating Nate thread upon rereading it. Heā€™s probably saying that there is a measure of independence but they arenā€™t entirely independent. I donā€™t know of a math equation to calculate that, but logically that would mean that the chance that 1+ state flips decreases but the chance multiple states flip increases.

Halfway independent would look something like 50% 1+ flip, 18% 2+ flip, 10% 3+ flip, 5% all 4 flip

@boredsocial is this your district? Iā€™ve posted about Julie Oliver before, still think itā€™s a long shot but this is a really good ad.

I agree with Lou Dobbs

Sheā€™s drawing thin, but not dead, and sheā€™s progressive. Threw her a small donation. Hopefully itā€™s not too late for the money to help. Sheā€™d be awesome to have in Congress.

thatā€™s interesting and a bit scary.
I mean weā€™re very clearly just taking 538 as the base and tweaking our thoughts a bit one way or another based on how pessimistic or optimistic we like to be. But everything is still based on Nate correcting any errors from 2016 and in fact being overly cautions.

These results sure look like Rs were outperforming the model.

That seems big. Get rekt Lindsey.

That clip is absolute insanity. I donā€™t even know where to start.

I donā€™t swear! Vote Cornyn.

that really gonna ****ing work as a campaign ad?

The connection here is Nateā€™s model overvalued the incumbent in every race you mentioned.

So far only denials that was mark including from the senate campaign manager.

Original pusher of this was the guy who found the northam blackface pictureā€“weird fetish of everyoneā€™s yearbook I guess.

lol Lou Dobbs is so far up Trumpā€™s ass that heā€™s telling deplorables not to vote for another deplorable.

lolllllllllll, get fucked Lindsey

Orders for the Lindsey hit had to come from Trump.
