    I just think that anyone with half a brain -including Bloomberg and most of the Dems, realize that even if Sanders was able to implement a small portion of his ideology, that it would be disastrous.

    Socialists are pretty dumb.

    Half a brain sounds about right. Imagine the horror of a health care system that costs less and serves more. Truly a dystopian future

    Really it's shocking that a bunch of people who profit off of denying health care and artificially increasing costs would be concerned about this

    Had a nice long talk with a co-worker from Wyoming, probably the most redneck conservative state there is, and he's of the opinion that "the entire US oilpatch" will vote democratic no matter who the candidate is. He claims the dems are better for oil and gas, but I didn't understand his reasoning. He says if it's Biden, that the dems will get 2:1 popular vote over Trump nationally. That seems crazy to me. I don't think the oilpatch is a large enough voting block to make a big difference to the outcome.

    I got some nice bets against trump with decent odds.

    I had a huge trump supporter take my $50 vs his $250 that he wins like 8 months ago.
    I got my mom to bet my $500 vs her $1,000 that he wins on her birthday... (Before trump fell in the polls cause of Biden)
    I have a bet from before biden ran for 14 or 15:1 that he wins as well...

    I got a nice sweat now.

    I really do think he wont be re-elected.

    The Bottom Line
    Presidents that serve during times of turmoil, especially when it comes to a domestic recession or difficult economic environment, usually have a difficult time winning re-election. At other times, the presidents above were simply unable to make their marks on history and capture enough popularity to win a second term in office.

    Man ... who does 5:1 or 15:1 odds on a 1v1 election. Those people seriously don't know how to bet.

    5:2 isn't bad if he is 80% favorite, it's basically break even.

    He wins 4 out of 5 times..

    Trump was about 5-10% to win like 3 months prior to the election, getting 8:1 was pretty standard at the time.

    Here is current odds, it was much worse for the democrats about a week ago.

    Democrats

    Biden leading by 11 points in a national poll:
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ll/5230880002/

    The poll, released Wednesday, found that voters supported Biden over Trump 50%-39%. Of Democrats surveyed, 88% said they would vote for Biden while 5% said they'd vote for Trump. Of Republicans, 87% chose Trump while 8% chose Biden. Independents favored Biden over Trump 47%-36%.
    Yeah i know its still early and it's going to come down to just a few battleground states so national polls don't matter so much, but still the Independent numbers must be a bit scary for the Trump campaign. I think if the democrats can make enough concessions to the far-left/bernie bro crowd, and if Biden can avoid any serious gaffes, they will have a serious chance at winning.

    Doubt it, he believes it's all fake and everything that isn't pro-trump is made up fake news. In his mind he's probably streets ahead.

    What do those numbers matter anyways when you've got the good ol' electoral college system?

    Yeah. Opinion polling is very different than seat projections / electoral college projections.

    The way he's been acting up last few weeks means he cares about those numbers, fake or not.

    Biden is a senile old man. His campaign will be a disaster.

    1 v 1 does not mean equal odds, man.

    Imagine betting odds of 1:1 for mike tyson vs any other 50 year old person

    “You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me”

    Not even that bad but the media is loving it.

    This election is looking to be which leader can fuck up their own chances less lol
