But as much as I respect you and Ty, I was never going to take your opinions over those of thousands of analysts who called the race a month before it was done. Not even the Comey thing made me think he had a chance.
You and Ty and Michael Moore saw the Blue Wall crumbling. That's impressive. But it's also a huge black swan. I love Taleb, but he'd be the first to tell you, it's almost impossible to call those things in advance.

If you act to cause your preferred outcome (or the one that's less bad), then you don't have to worry about your assumptions turning out to be wrong.
