          what about 2016? As of Election Day 2016, the fivethirtyeight model gave Clinton a 71% chance of winning. This was lower than basically every competing model, and importantly, 71% is not 100%. Trump got lucky in 2016, and the model’s percentage reflected that.

            got lucky

            That is not how I’d characterize 2016 at all. Also, I would like to refer you to argument number two.
