    You idiots will disappear when this never happens. You're idiots responding to what's called NEGATIVE BRANDING. Look it up clueless mindless and duped!
    A few stories to combat the celebrity and easy reach Teump has, and put out daily negative ads, do the brand is noteworthy, and becomes a negative for Trump. They will put out negatives on the most silly absurd hypotheticals to continue negative branding. 70 years of life and Trump was NEVER called a racist or women hater or bigot. This is negative branding, stupid gamblers want action on a proposition made up by MSM insiders. FOOLS! Wish I was your bookie!!! Damn I'd make suuuweeett money of y'all . Too easy on your feeble minds!

    A smart guy created a thread a month ago stating that there is value in Trump not finishing the race.......Maybe he is a MSM insider that posts amongst us.

    GOP strategist Stuart Stevens has called Trump "an absurd candidate for president."

    https://politicalwire.com/2016/08/05/bonus-quote-of-the-day-900/

    This proves that Republicans can be incisive once in a while.

    Demographics affect elections.  2016 is the first presidential election in which millennium generation makes up same proportion of voting population as baby boomers.  Millennials are mostly DEMOCRATS. In 2008, young voters were among the reasons for Obama's victory.   In the future, they will become the largest voting population in U.S. history.

    Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA) says he plans to vote for the Libertarian Party’s presidential ticket, becoming the first member of Congress to express support for Gary Johnson’s third-party campaign, the New York Times reports.

    Said Rigell: “I’ve always said I will not vote for Donald Trump and I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. I’m going to vote for the Libertarian candidate.”

    interesting race indeed

    mccain had 57% of white vote
    romney had 59% of white vote

    dont think trump will win even if he gets 62%
    62% of white people are definitely not that dumb to vote for the idiot trump

    Fivethirtyeight currently has every single swing state voting for HRC.

    They even have a few non-swing states (like GA) voting for HRC.

    Based on the original post in this thread - Trump would have to get ALMOST ALL of these swing states in order to overcome the inherent electoral vote gap, a task that now seems to be very difficult.

    The odds on Betfair are about -350 right now - which I still think is a steal.  The only factor is the time before the election.  HRC should just keep her mouth shut - and the Dems should send her to an island in the middle of the ocean for 2 months and let Trump keep self destructing.

    it's interesting that 5dimes, which has been much sharper with their odds in the primaries, was slow to get their odds where they should be.  they still aren't right, in my opinion.  whereas, betdsi, which did a very poor job during the primaries, has been well ahead of 5dimes since the end of the primaries.  i'm maxed out at 5dimes with bets on individual states but i'm still looking at betdsi.

    there is a long way to go but i think you're right, hillary should go on vacation for the next 3 months and let trump continue to say crazy garbage while the republicans beat each other up.

    One of the most significant polls in this Presidential Election, who is NOT qualified to serve as president? 

    Donald Trump 61%

    Hillary Clinton 38% 

    https://www.vox.com/2016/8/9/12404942/poll-donald-trump

    That 61% negativity will be too steep for any candidate to climb in the election, Donald Trump is in a big hole now.

    well, she's not giving interviews or press conferences. that's about the same thing. given the polls -350 is crazy cheap.

    Completely Agree, Van.. You played this one well with the value  available after the RNC.   Hillary should just park the bus, and go to sleep for awhile..

    I'm looking for odds on HRC as a one term President. Has to be worth tying up some money for the duration (but will be plus as incumbent is automatically favored). 

    Same party holding the White House for three terms do not have good records. 

    Taft L
    Hoover L
    Ford L
    Bush L

    Only W was Truman.

    FDR won in 1944

    Ford was technically part of Nixon's 2nd term. Repubs had only held the presidency for 2 terms when Carter defeated Ford.
