It really is staggering how stupid and unlearned of a person Trump actually is.

You should be laying 2:1 imo

I'll take the non Hillary side if you're interested in laying odds

Or SRM if he's interested too obv

lol, I immediately wondered this as well and also don't know how to tell. My bet is that it's from a staffer.

Republicans already showing some strong signs that they are learning from this. IE, moving support from Trump to tight races in congress bc they realize they're nominee is historically bad

they probably realize now that just by nominating Jeb! or Kasich they would have had a decent shot at winning the white house. unfortunately, with Hillary as an opponent they don't really need to reinvent the party, they just need a central casting R who doesn't threaten to have his opponent murdered

New polls out today have Hillary up double digits in Colorado and Virginia, up 9 in NC, and up 5 in Florida.

This is the current electoral map:



This election is pretty much over. She has 273 votes locked up.

Trump is vastly overrated in the current betting odds.

Yeah just sunk a bit more against Trump. Most of my money went down after she didnt **** up her DNC speech.

Unfortunately I think betting is pretty much done this year, nobody is going to care about the state markets.

domer, are you able to tell whether that linked tweet is from iPhone? It smells suspiciously like a staffer wrote it.

All of his tweets this morning were from Android. Don't think a staffer would write something so stupid, especially with the caps.

because elections have swings and people think it may swing back to trump at some point

but he is down 10+ points in every state in blue in my map above, and is viewed INCREDIBLY unfavorably by the electorate. it would take a tremendous feat to make up that gap in the next 90 days.

bc who knows what's going to happen in the next 3 months. We find out Obama has been banging Hillary, Trump unveils his successful hidden negotiations for peace in the Middle East, who knows.

obviously if the election was held today, he's not 20% to win

Umm...So you're saying they're giving weight to alternate dimensions? Yeah, Trump may accomplish something groundbreaking in the Middle East while just barely remembering that "Crimea" isn't a river. Seriously?

Indiana has a rep for being the Alabama of the midwest.

They voted for Obama one election fwiw. I just think it's just a lot of Republican entrenchment among the WASPs the past 8 years. They could go blue again for sure, but it would take a lot for that to happen.

Also Indiana is not like Alabama at all IMO. Though I do most of my stuff in the cities and college towns.

I'm exaggerating but yeah obviously "who knows what is going to happen in the next 3 months" is why he is still 20%
