35. Here's the thing

No one is 'unfailingly accurate'. It is that simple. Nate is strong with numbers, he is not as strong with the human elements, the random happenings, and the general chaos of an election year. He has one way of looking at things, but that one way is not a full view of the events at hand. Many elections in history have been swayed in surprising ways by uncontrollable events that occur beyond anyone's predictions. The numbers do not reflect those elements at all.
The numbers are not unfailingly accurate, nor is anyone who predicts the future. No one. No matter how smart or how liberal.
