[The Minsky Moment]

What does it say about the USA that the sharpest guy in the race by a safe margin is relegated to holding the towel for a third party candidate with as much mental acuity as a Deadhead 23 minutes into the drum solo for Truckin'

Only in 'Merica

I think I am back to rooting for Trump just to spite Tim.

I'm backing Trump because his election would be the most no-brainer short of the decade.

[Admiral Yi]

I'm backing Trump because his election would be the most no-brainer short of the decade.

How will you find someone to take the other side of the bet?

You want to take it? Go on!

Was a little surprised that everyone in the UK I spoke with seemed to dislike Hillary as much as Trump.

I think that's a little bit far. While I've yet to encounter someone who is happy with her ('not my first choice' 'all that corruption' 'not left enough*'), I've yet to hear or overhear anyone who doesn't think Trump is a completely trash heap.

*so like the Bernie or Else camp in the US. After all, many people in London are Labour sympathizers if not members and that's a party that reacted to an electoral defeat by thinking it should move further to the Left.

Chances are you and speissy hang out with different crowds.

Well yes, he would have been hanging out with individuals excited about the NFL.  I was just shoring up against an attempt to generalize from his brief experience here in London.

Paddy Power is paying 9/4 on Trump's victory.

[Legbiter]

Add that to North Carolina and that's 21 that Trump needs to win.

Your math will be all for naught when Trump takes New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Or Wisconsin, for that matter.

Aye. Her turnout will be awful and that's that. The Taint could never be undone.

[LaCroix]

there are americans itt who doubt hillary's victory? shame! shame!

[Martinus]

I still believe Trump will win.

Now, I may be (and likely will be) wrong. But the risk is worth it - correctly predicting Trump's defeat puts me in line with thousands of other pundits, commentators and Languish posters. Correctly predicting Trump's victory makes me a seer.
