Trump has narrowed the gap, but still trails:

That should encourage Trump bettors because he is doing relatively well despite little formal advertising.

HRC's lead is down to 3 points according to Huffington Post's poll aggregator.  The trend is NOT her friend.

seeing -225 now. more in line with the polls now. considering that trump has very little money and virtually no campaign (very few state offices open at this point), i'm looking to put down the other half of my wager at a price.

Jeb Bush continues to trash Trump.  However, the selection of Pence should mollify some social conservatives.

Donald Trump “was so unsure about” Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate “that around midnight last night he asked top aides if he could get out of it,” CNN reports.

NBC News confirmed the report.

Washington Post: “If anything, this leak is just the latest proof of how poorly the whole thing has been handled. And that poor handling, in turn, makes the rumor seem quite plausible.”

https://politicalwire.com/2016/07/15/trump-wasnt-sure-about-pence/

Does anybody really think Trump knows what the hell he is doing?  Four bankruptcies, constant emotional outbursts, relentless vindictiveness, racism and Islamophobia makes Trump seem like a drunken bull with anger management issues in a really tiny china shop on the San Andreas fault.

And some of you REALLY think he'd make a great President!  I'd laugh if it wasn't so depressing.

“I don’t know how women can vote for him… It’s incomprehensible to me.”  Barbara Bush is not exactly a Trump fan.

It surprises me more that Pence would commit political career suicide by putting his name next to Trumps.

You're seeing a much cheaper price of -220 than my 5dimes' -260 at this point, Skip. May be it is just me, college educated whites, women, African American, Hispanics and Asians are all favored Clinton, i think Hillary Clinton is going to steamroll Donald Trump in the Election.

well, yes, i think there's a good chance that she snaps off his head and s***ts down his neck. The electoral map favors the dems these days. he HAS to win Florida to have a chance and i don't see that happening at least at the moment.

His job approval rating is mildly negative (40-42) and he was in a toss-up race as he ran for re-election.  Indiana is a solidly Red state; he should be doing much better.

If he runs a credible race and doesn't come across as another Palin idiot-clone, he should be well-positioned for 2020.  He is a social conservative who is nowhere near as personally abrasive as Cruz.

Trump officially put HRC into office with his VP pick.  He should have chosen a more grounded and centered conservative.  This Pence guy is a nutjob, and most people that truly like him were probably going to vote for Trump anyway.  

Who knows.  I just think a lot of the "middle of the road" voters that might have sided with Trump over HRC are now just like "F*UCK THAT" with this super right winged guy.

Pence is a moron.  He's positioned to do nothing for the future.  He didn't mind joining Trump's ticket because he has nothing to really lose by doing so.  I can't wait for him to make some gaffes.  It should be hilarious.  I'm not sure if he can top breathing like a freak before addressing the media, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I love the four bankruptcies statement. Eight out of 10 new businesses go bankrupt. I believe Trump has had thousands of businesses over the years. But we want to dwell on the four that 
went bankrupt.  How would you rate is overall business record?

I have already posted on this, so I won't bother with any supporting links.

A realistic rate of return on real estate development is 10%.  If pathological liar Trump was actually worth $10 billion as he claims, he should be making $1 billion per year.

He has repeatedly qualified for a small tax credit only available to those who make less than $500,000.

I haven't yet posted this and I don't have any support, but I have read that growth on his original inheritance trails the simple growth of the S & P 500.  He is no financial wizard.

He also failed to foresee the biggest real estate bubble in U.S. history.  I foresaw it and I do not have a college degree.

More on Trump's four bankruptcies that screwxd creditors out of $4.7 billion:

https://dividendreference.com/articles/2015/1000637/donald-trump-bankruptcies/

You can bet those bankruptcies ruined a lot of businesses and lives.  I don't know how many people and businesses regret trusting Trump, but since $4.7 billion is a lot of money, I bet Trump has fxcked up thousands.

Trump Steaks...  only $1,000 for 24 burgers and 16 steaks

GoTrump.com...  Didn't use it?  Well, it was only around for 1 year

Trump Airlines...  who wouldn't want to fly on a plane with maple-wood veneer floors, chrome seat belt latches and gold-colored bathroom fixtures?  Not many people I guess

Trump Vodka...  How many T & T's (Trump & Tonic) did you guys drink?

Trump Mortgage...  2006 was a great time to start a mortgage company, although Donald would be thinking the same 18 month later.

Trump: The Game...   Remember sitting around with your friends back in 1989 playing this?  Neither does anyone else

Trump Magazine...  People don't want to read ads about buying yachts and other rich guy stuff during a major recession?  Who knew?

Trump University...  $35,000 for a fake business degree!

Trump Ice...  Bottled water with Trumps face on the bottle!  

New Jersey Generals...  Team folded after 2 years of Trumps leadership and he is also blamed by some for the USFL folding.

Tour de Trump...   Bike race dubbed by Trump as "The American Tour de France"... he likely lost interest after it was won by a Mexican.

Trump on the Ocean...   80,000 sq ft Catering hall dubbed "the finest dining and banquet facility in the world" was built in a flood zone after much opposition from the community.   Received a mercy kill by Hurricane Sandy.

Trump Network...  Pyramid scheme involving vitamins.   https://web.archive.org/web/20110722042048/http:/idealhealth.com/Custom-Multivitamin/PrivaTest.aspx?

Trumped!...   Trump's own talk radio show, "the biggest launch in radio history".   Remains a mystery as no one can find any of the programs... I wonder why?

The Zionist/Bolshevik Communist person own and control America and all you people care about is some meaningless election that you can bet on. You can vote for either the communist, Hillary Clinton or vote for a man who claims he is anti-establishment but isn't. One thing is for certain after this circus election cycle is finally over and that is that these Zionist/Bolsheviks will remain in power. 

They control the media, entertainment/movies you watch, education system, foreign policy, all the big banks, all the major corporations. You also don't even have the opportunity to not allow these people to be in the positions that they are in since they hold positions inside and outside of the government that we as citizens can't vote on. They are mostly un elected officials/sponsors and they are the ones who hold the power in this country and make the decisions. Welcome to the Communist States of America everyone.

Down to -245 at 5Dimes now.

Hoping it dips below -200 after Trump speaks on Thursday, and then will fire a bit.

Of course, after the plagiarism fiasco, he may not get the bump I hoped for in the betting markets.

Yup, -200 is as good as you are going to get if that. Take it anywhere in that range. You will have money in November just in time for the NFL playoffs.

More anti-HRC than pro-Trump:

https://politicalwire.com/2016/07/20/more-anti-clinton-than-pro-trump/

"All of last night’s pro-Trump speeches came from Trump’s family, friends, and business associates.”

In other words, Republican party officeholders and bigwigs struggled to find anything positive to say about Trump.

This GOP convention is a family affair, unprecedented in its extent.

 https://politicalwire.com/2016/07/20/a-family-affair/

"So many senior politicians are desperate to avoid even the slightest taint from Trump. They’ll always be somewhere else when he’s in their state or district."

He is definitely toxic, but so is HRC after Comey's speech.  The odds of the Democrats retaking the Senate have been falling since then.

https://electionbettingodds.com/congress.html

The primary voters that chose HRC and Trump owe the independents a sincere apology.

Most Americans prefer a President with experience:

https://politicalwire.com/2016/07/20/most-americans-want-a-president-with-experience/

I guess that makes me an exception.  I prefer an inexperienced peacenik like Stein to an experienced warmonger like HRC.
