NEVERTHELESS, THEY PERSIST: Political pundits have no idea what they’re talking about. Here's why:

Maybe all this ... proves is that elections are strange and complicated, hard to predict and analyze with any certainty. Maybe it's just difficult for upper-class residents of New York City and Washington, D.C., to assess the hearts and minds of average Americans.

Pundits are like Bloomberg: plenty of 'gray matter', no skills whatever. So they're stuck in New York city and Washington, D.C.
