The odds are quite volatile:
https://electionbettingodds.com/
EBO - Trump 29.2%
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo
538 - Trump 42.3%, which would make Trump an excellent bet at anything over +200 which currently has a juicy positive expected value.
Betting lines are quite volatile. With much lower limits, they are subject to rapid change.
Good luck to bettors. Maybe the safest thing is just to lay the heavy chalk and bet HRC to carry HI and Trump to carry ID.

Forget the odds look at history..... why would Hillary Clinton want to run on the Obama record?
In the past 50 some years, if one party holds the White House for eight years, more than likely that party won't win four more years. The only exception was George HW Bush after eight years of the Reagan presidency. ..

HRC is unpopular. If she wins, the desire for change could be even stronger after 12 years of Democratic presidencies, no matter how badly Trump may end up losing.

If you are talking/complaining about American troops stationed in more than 150 countries - Obama, like all of his predecessors for decades, is acting as if it is 1946 - than I share your criticism.
However, both HRC and Trump have bellicose records. Neither is a peacenik who will ratchet down the terrible tension.
Liberals >>> vote Green.
Conservatives >>> vote Libertarian.

Really...You say some states pass laws to intentionally disenfranchise some voters....Exactly what do these laws say...and how do they work...Does't seem fair to me if red states do this kind of practice...

The Wisconsin voting restrictions were overturned:

Wisconsin is neither Blue nor Red. It has been carried by the Democratic Presidential candidate in every election since Reagan carried it in 1984.
Wisconsin's Republican governor and Republican state legislature imposed those restrictions which were overturned.
Voter ID laws impact minority turnout:
https://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/voter-id-laws-minorities-111721
In 2012, an uncommonly frank GOP politician admitted that voter ID laws were intended to suppress Democratic turnout:
This weekend, Pennsylvania Republican House Leader Mike Turzai (R-PA) finally admitted what so many have speculated: Voter identification efforts are meant to suppress Democratic votes in this year’s election.
At the Republican State Committee meeting, Turzai took the stage and let slip the truth about why Republicans are so insistent on voter identification efforts — it will win Romney the election, he said:

Most of the states that imposed voter restrictions are conservative:

The Rhode Island law was fairly broad and accepted a wide range of ID's.
