Still beats being the sorry excuse for a human being you are.

I am considering betting $100 on Paddypower on Trump becoming the next POTUS. It's paying 2:1 at the moment, and that ratio is likely to fall in the next months.  :cool:

I think you should bet all your savings and make a killing.  :cool:

I'm betting all my savings on Bernie making a comeback. If I win, I'll have $50. :w00t:

It's funny, many Languish non-Americans could read the polls, scratch their heads and spend months going "huh, wow, I guess it's Trump" while the Americans are still barely out of denial. Malthus was especially quick on the uptake, quipping about being resigned to the Trump presidency back in the fall.

Except someone actually reading the polls would be saying "huh, wow, I guess it's Hillary Clinton." :contract:


She's a terrible candidate who looks and sounds like she just drank from the False Grail. The personification of the incompetent, time-serving beaurocrat "who's time has come".  :hmm:

Trump is the underdog in this fight but Clinton will have her hands full regardless.

And we'll have great fun along the way.  :lol:

Hillary is a bad candidate, true. She's struggled to put away a 74 year old socialist who just joined her party last year. It's kinda pathetic actually.

I won't be making any predictions anymore, especially considering I sincerely believed the GOP would refrain from nominating Biff Tannen their titular king and head of the party. This election has been so full of surprises that I'm thinking it's practically a coin flip between either one of the New York Ogres.

If I supported politicians based on their looks, I would have supported Rubio. :P

I really don't see the point of spending time and money to travel to the voting booth just to vote for someone who has no realistic hope of winning an election. 

Because you vote for lots of different things in an election?

Yeah. She lost to a total neophyte 8 years ago. But she is the best we got.

She is in good shape though. Only 181 delegates left to go and West Virginia and Kentucky seem like places she can win.
