Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

...and the real money has Clinton as a 9/5 favorite.

You need to look at the electoral tally. HRC is a 2-1 favorite.
Keep in mind that many individual state polls are more than 2 weeks old. The dynamics of the race has changed immensely over that period.

Play the middle and can't lose. I hear a lot of talk and just waiting for someone to back it. This is DanDeals right? This one will get me a HT if I can find a few suckers.  :)

Not sure what to make of the cyclical nature of the polls. Either they truly swing around and whichever candidate times the cycle to their favor on 11/8 wins. Or the true long term average is stable and the rest is noise and can break either way.

Likely outcome if election were held today (according to me, with help from RCP). Where can Trump get 10 more electoral votes?

Wow, you're assuming he wins FL and OH.  The national polls will swing here and there a few percentage points but he can't win electorally.

Wow... I'm still undecided, but that one is patently untrue. Clinton has released way, way more policy detail than Trump

Of course he can. That map reflects today's polls. In 2 months, with most polls now trending toward Trump, he can easily pick up Wisconsin, Virginia or Colorado (CO would make it a tie on my map).

You are not processing his statement logically. Read it again.

Did anyone here say that Trump is the favorite right now?
So why would anyone take a 50/50 bet?

Not sure why the default for one is C v. T and one is 4 way.
