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!

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.

Did anyone here say that Trump is the favorite right now?
So why would anyone take a 50/50 bet?
OK I will give you 1.10 for every dollar bet.  :)

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

I hear what you're saying. Still, in large part Trump has not outlined actual policy plans - yes, he's done some recently, but relative to what is expected of a presidential candidate it is still far below the norm.

Overall or recently? That she has done or as a strategy? This doen't even discuss her policy.

Her site details her policy plans if she were elected. Obviously nobody thinks any candidate will actually be able to put in place all their plans, but at least you know where she stands on a broad array of issues. Trump has released policy for a minimal number of issues, it's anyone's guess as to how he'll swing on all the rest. One thing we know, he won't be reliably conservative, as his recently released maternity leave plan proves (though I actually support that one)

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

You are missing the boat. Hillary has definitely released much more policy than him, but what is happening now? Her side keep saying how he has no policy while lately he has been releasing policies one after the other. What are the OPTICS of that? He is not talking about the policies themselves at all.

Brilliant. Arbitrage the betting markets.

Not arbitrage- default risk for DDF is much higher (i.e. welch factor)
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Yes. They have a clear platform, but the candidate is ill and out of sight.

Quote
And the candidate without the campaign? D. Trump?

Yes. Donald Trump is very much in the spotlight, but has no platform.

She's been on sick leave for 3 days out of a two year campaign. That's not out of sight and probably better than most American's job performance (myself definitely included).

You may disagree with his platform but he has one:
