How Nate Silver Failed To Predict Trump

[KoKo]

27. Yes...he finally was the "Man of the Moment" after trying for years...

But, in his late Mid-Life Crisis...he has finally found his time of glory in the sun. This is what I see of him. He was bored. The kids were grown and running the business...his challenges were getting fewer and, a man with that big an ego, just needs to "Go For It" ...one more time. Maybe Rupert Murdoch's lifestyle just didn't suit him (he has had enough wives) and his ambitions were greater than being head of a vast Media Empire which would be just too confining.

There's much about him (his OTT language and strong-arming tactics) that smacks of desperation. However, I don't fault him for trying. We all have times of challenge in our lives and we deal with it in many ways without the abundance of connections and funds that Trump has access to. Look at Bill and Hillary who are also in late Mid-Life Crisis and they are now competing with "The Donald" over the spoils of what's left of failed policy both Foreign and Domestic, Post WWII for Decades now in the USA.

What I do fault both candidates for, though, is that it is all about THEM and not really about the well being and future prosperity and concerns of the people who are suffering and left behind in a sagging economy. Even those who bided by all the rules, (including going into massive debt to get advanced degrees), who are now still dealing with the aftermath of 2008 Wall Street Crisis and the money drain in our economy for our Endless Wars.

Neither side is running to "Serve "The People." It is and will be all "about Business as Usual"...and "War As Far as we Can Imagine" in our future. UNLESS THEY "F...UP! And, that is highly likely.
