After wrongly predicting Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election, pollster Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight now argues that Hillary would have won had FBI Director James Comey not released his October surprise letter reopening the investigation into her use of private email server, thanks to emails found on pervert Anthony Weiner's mobile devices.
Silver made his announcement on Twitter, saying the data shows that undecided voters heavily skewed towards Trump following the Comey letter, which would not have happened otherwise.
"Comey had a large, measurable impact on the race. Harder to say with Russia/Wikileaks because it was drip-drip-drip," Silver stated. "I'll put it like this: Clinton would almost certainly be President-elect if the election had been held on Oct. 27 (day before Comey letter)."
Hillary has pushed this narrative as well, telling a crowd of donors that "Comey's letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum."
Silver, who once projected himself as a boy-genius pollster, failed miserably on Election Day 2016, predicting unequivocally that Hillary would take home the win.
"Clinton is the favorite, and perhaps has a slight wind at her back for Election Day," Silver wrote.
