Nate Silver admits he got played by the GOP but blames the Democrats for not using poor polling practices

In discussing the accuracy of his latest forecast, Nate Silver feels his work would have been more accurate if Democrats had flooded the playing field with bullshit polls like the ones he integrated into FiveThirtyEight from the GOP. Maybe Silver shouldn't have used the poorly conducted polls. Seems to make more sense than encouraging more bad ones.

So, wait… is he saying that if Dems want to push the polling averages back in their direction they should also release a flood of ridiculously biased polls? And the fact that they aren't is a sign to Nate that Dems are losing? JFC. pic.twitter.com/aWLCbEA8Ed
