Pillsbury Doughboy at the podium now....... fuck me
Ultimately, it's by far the biggest prize of the election. Nothing else is really close. It's been settling health care, social issues, immigration. I think Hillary can inch the ball forward incrementally in a direction I prefer. I'll certainly vote for her. If the R's didn't have both seats of power, Trump and his narcissism would concern me less. But what she can actually get done beyond the court is small in the short term.Quote:

Appointing SC justices is the prize. When I say all we're playing for, it's not to diminish the stakes. If Hillary wins, we'll get lazy and not show up for mid-terms once again, she'll get obstructed to death, but ultimately win in the courts.
What do you see approaching that importance?

Oh, I agree that the court is the big get. There are a lot of ways Trump can ruin the world that Hillary would not, though. I could see Trump conceding eastern Europe to Putin, pretty easily. He loves Putin. Trump has suggested Japan and Saudi Arabia get a nuclear weapon. It's pretty easy to see N Korea preemptively attacking Japan. So much bad.
I would love to see how many times Hillary's name was said after this convention is over.
This is fine.
I love Amanda Carpenter.

Interesting. For the first time the GOP platform despite picking a known Adelson pocket picker as VP there is NO mention about banning Online Poker in the 2016 platform for the GOP. This plank had been present every year since 2004 in case anybody was wondering.https://prod-static-ngop-pbl.s3.amazonaws.com/media/documents/DRAFT_12_FINAL[1]-ben_1468872234.pdf
That's good news.Quote:

BTW Newt Gingrich was one of the first Republicans to come out in favor of legalizing online poker, back in the early 2000s.

Fuck it, if the economy collapses it's pretty much donkdown for you whining libtards. I'd like to see how tolerant you are when a black kid bitch slaps you and takes your property because you were against guns, yet never bothered to get your heart rate over 80 and at least take a self defense class.
Either way, Clinton or Trump, the shit is hitting the fan. GG American prosperity.

Cruz probably couldn't believe that he was invited to speak in such a slot, and realized this was his chance to get back at Trump for all of his "Lyin' Ted" stuff during the primary.
Trump has a problem in that he was really, really mean and nasty to his primary opponents -- and that's basically how he won -- but now they all resent him immensely and won't endorse him.
The lack of endorsements from these former opponents actually means something, because it sends a message to the average Republican of, "If prominent figures in the Republican Party like Bush and Cruz won't support Trump, then I feel totally good about not supporting him, either."
This campaign is such a fail that I just have to laugh.
I think it might be best for the Republican Party that they suffer a major beatdown this election cycle, so they can realize the major reforms they need to make in their strategies, and come back strong in 2018 and 2020.
Meredith McIver, the speechwriter responsible for the Melania speech, was pretty back in 1986, and surprisingly youthful looking for 35.

I wonder if Trump banged her back in the '80s.

This would mark a 180 degree change in Republican foreign policy in 4 years. Do they even care? I'm not talking casual voters, I'm talking full time party activists. This is really bizarre.

Edit: We're pushing all our chips into the center of the table and we will watch the world fold. Who the fuck would mess with us if we are crazy enough to elect Trump as president. Even if Trump loses, the rest of the world better take notice how ready to go we are if they wanna mess around.

These are the last of the Trump supporters. The dumb, disengaged, racist and ignorant. I can't imagine any marginally bright or woke conservatives voting for him. Gary Johnson should do pretty well.
I will take all bets from the libtards that 1 year from today, the record will show that I was right and u were wrong, regardless of who wins the election
$50? $100? a small enough amount that you can admit defeat
Line is down to +200 on Bovada, and bookmakers are now itching for HRC money. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get down to +180 before election time.Quote:

Also, here's this interesting stat:
ToasterOven: what are you betting, dummy?
pretty sure I said 50 or $100 didn't I moron
Let's just put our money where our mouth is, we shoulda stopped arguing about this a cpl months ago when it became a "the other side is a bunch of retards" argument
Edit: I am arguing a year from now it will be obvious that you should have voted for trump
BiffCo99: Typical lib screams "racist" when he can't win an argument. And should be permabanned for using "woke"
AND BIFFCO IS GOD
I don't know if you're just trolling or your iq is literally under 80. What are you betting? "You were right, regardless of who wins"? If you aren't betting on who wins the election, what is the bet?Quote:

Can't wait to see the website like this Trump puts up.
Trump picking Pence has pretty much made it 100% that Trump will be immediately assassinated if he wins, anyway. We'll spend the next 4 years with a dim, generic conservative that thinks condoms are bad and smoking isn't harmful. Newt was Trump's life insurance.Quote:

Also, he won't win. I'll bet, if you want. Doesn't matter the stakes, either money or something like avatar selection.

Assassination we spend our money to cover our own asses, but otherwise in order for me to win u must at least say something like "trump is doing allright" or something like "OMG HILLARY IS SO BAD, WE SHOULDA GAMBLED ON TRUMP"
$100, agree to terms?
Hillary is terrible, I just think she'll win. And would be better, but still bad.Quote:

Can we bet on subjectively thinking Trump is doing well or not, how does that work? I can't bet that Hillary will be good, I don't think she will be.
Pretty much how I feel.No fucking way Trump wins, it just takes a bit of common sense to know this.I liked Trump up until I saw him shoulder to shoulder with that pos Adelson now I hate Trumps fucking guts.Quote:

Just to be clear my official position is that Hillary's an absolute stone cold lock.
I don't like it but it is what it is.
Oh and everyone is saying Ted Cruz's political stock took a hit at the convention. I disagree he's the future of the R party and the one that worries me. People will rally around him once the Trump train is exposed as a total fail.
NTM it seems possible that Trump himself is covertly working to give the win to Hillary.
OK Dish, if Trump wins, if you admit he sucks then you lose, if I admit he is ok, then I lose. Gentleman's bet.
I don't see a Hillary bet, as I cannot take the "she'll be good" side.
Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz are on a plane.
The plane crashes.
Who survives?
It amazes me people still dismiss Trump. He just vanquished 16 opponents, and his next opponent is incredibly flawed. He can easily win this, its basically a coin flip. I heard from someone "in the know" (yeah i get it, I am just a plumber), that Ohio with Pence is a certain lock now as he will drag the entire western part of the state. This could set off a midwest wave with MI and PA following. The theory is, and its becoming more than a theory now, that white union workers are going to pull the lever for Trump. That has not happened since Reagan.
I know a lifelong Democrat who is voting for Trump. He owns his own AC company and the Carrier move just blew his fucking mind. This is not a fluke. And remember MI went to Sanders even though Clinton had a 20 point lead day of primary. Also keep in mind Brexit. That was 65-35 against leaving day of the vote.
I am seriously considering putting quite a bit on Trump on predictit.org (if that is a site you can bet, I have not yet researched). I'll see how the speech goes first however tonight.
