Election analysts are having a ton of fun with the following insane Tweet

From Nate Cohn to Harry Enten to San Wang to their myriad followers. So what particular piece of election inanity has them going? I give you Bill Mitchell:

Imagine polls don't exist. Show me evidence Hillary is winning?

...math-y type. Years ago, my husband gave me a book entitled Math Without Tears. I got to page 6, which made no sense. I read it 3 more times. It still did not make sense, so I gave up. I wish I were better at it.

My last marking period of high school math was a unit on calculus. The teacher handed us a little black book, and said, "Here. This is all self-explanatory." She was wrong.
