    When I saw this pop up on reddit, I thought, "Oh no, people are going to flip shit and call Nate Silver an anti-Bernie shill." Some people did, but I was pleasantly surprised that the top comments were reminding everyone that 538 is nonpartisan and gives a very realistic analysis of current data. That analysis of current data is not a clear call on the outcome of elections. There's good criticism to be taken from it, so Bernie supporters need to soak it all in and adjust.

    Overconfidence would be the silver bullet for this campaign. If people want to see him in the White House, they need to keep the underdog attitude all the way to the primaries. They need to get votes one-by-one, person-to-person. It's the only way Bernie can win.
