    A legit question since the crowd turned on the media again. And shoved a camera man trying to help. And Trump's rhetoric has led to death threats agaisnt Tur.

    But you didn't mean it as a legit question, did you.

    The Pepes are claiming the guy tried to grab the gun of a Secret Service agent.

    Nerd fight!

    Makes me wish @RickStain had publicly trolled Nate Silver.

    Nate Silver can't spell worth a shit.

    I'm on Nate's side of the argument. There's no proposition in life in a choice between two things where there's a 99 percent chance of one outcome and not the other. But he's been taking a lot of heat from his former Daily Kos colleagues, who 1. Sincerely feel he's letting the side down and 2. Are probably a bit envious. Also, Silver will be on the curb alongside Simmons if he gets this wrong, so it's not surprising he adjusted his model to give both sides a better chance. That's not to say he wasn't right to do so, just that one can be right and also serve one's own interests.

    The cameraman wasn't "trying to help". He was shooting video and tried to push through the crowd to do so. The folks he pushed into shoved him back.

    There's video of it.

    There was no way for him to get through the crowd without jostling people.

    It's absurd that he's trying to play the victim now.

    I can't wait for Trump to talk about how his life flashed before his eyes tonight.

    Yes, there's video of Trumpers blocking the camera lens with their signs. Why do that?

    Guy detained by Secret Service has been released. Just a moment of crowd/mob panic.
