Nate Silver’s post-'nuclear holocaust’ electoral map goes viral
By Paulina Firozi - 12/23/16 10:51 AM EST

FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver on Friday mocked President-elect Donald Trump’s call for expanded nuclear capabilities by predicting what all-out nuclear war could do to the electoral map.

"Here's what the electoral map would look like if only people who weren't burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted,” he tweeted.

The punchline: A map showing only Wyoming, Alaska and Hawaii surviving. Silver’s tweet had nearly 3,000 retweets an hour after posting.

Trump was right.  I am getting tired of all the winning.

  Might be a good time to dust off that Dental Floss Tycoon idea Frank Zappa had back in the day, providing Trump keeps the tariffs on Chinese manufacturers of such.
