Has anyone checked in on Nate Silver lately? Is he doing OK?
The FiveThirtyEighteditor and statistician tweeted out a fairly apocalyptic (though probably not inaccurate) tweet Friday morning, analyzing who would win if only states that weren't burned in a nuclear holocaust could vote.

Trump's policy would reverse decades of American nuclear nonproliferation policy, potentially putting the country at risk of nuclear war.

Silver composed his tweet shortly after retweeting quotes from a Trump interview in 1987, where he said he wanted to apply as "much pressure necessary" to force other countries to get rid of their nuclear weapons, including inciting "riots in the street."
Oh my God. Trump has been planning to team up with Russians on nukes against others since 1987. Found old interview. https://t.co/VnhTcnBHuK pic.twitter.com/Bjp0yj7sbR
