@JonWalkerDC What we can definitely say is that 538's family of highly similar models have performed really well (i.e. been well-calibrated) over a large sample of elections. It's a pretty intuitive and useful reference class. — PolitiTweet.org

@JonWalkerDC In general the changes we make from election to election are not very large. This year's primary model will be the newest thing we've done in a while in that we're trying to simulate the entire process (i.e. how one state affects the next) which we haven't done before. — PolitiTweet.org

@JonWalkerDC It's not a new model! It's a refinement of the same underlying techniques/technology that we've used for 12 years. You're mistaken in thinking every election is sui generis. The only way to get anywhere in empirical research is to define broader reference classes of events. — PolitiTweet.org
