Dems weren't excited about Biden IMO. Nobody I know was rah-rah about Biden... he was just a generic, anybody-but-trump who slid in as a default. There could be a few old timers who voted Biden who are little racist and/or sexist, but that could be offset by an increase in Black voters. I contend the record turnout was anti-trump as opposed to pro-<insert anyone caring about progress in education, environment, economy, healthcare>, and Trump is still there.
I don't see the steps, but thanks for that ANALysis. They obviously traded the SOTU address drugs for HGH. Would you say his gait is more akin to Bill Gates or Usain Bolt?
They like making money year round, as do the bettors betting on it. They have lines on football games on the board already. The odds of those won't change much in the next couple months either.
Agreed. I think this was Trump just spiking the football knowing he was going to be going up against Biden or Harris. He thinks he'll crush either of them, regardless of VP pick, and I agree with him there.
I don't feel like who the VP is drives much, so I'm not sure how much opportunity there is to salvage the situation for the Democrats. If she were to pick Mark Kelly, I think the order of who would be the best president of the 4 would be: Kelly > Trump > Vance > Harris. But the vote isn't for Kelly to be president, its Trump vs. Harris, so I would still be voting for Trump in that scenario. I think most people think like that.
What are you talking about, the next couple of months? Games begin in just over a month so naturally odds are up for those contests, but try to get the spread on the UNC-FSU game on November 2. And odds change all the time leading up to a game, even if only by a 1/2 point or so. That 1/2 point or so has made the difference in winners and losers for some.
Recent history laughs at your antiquated, imaginary Lost Cause bullshit. Truth be told, 19th century history laughs at you as well. All the evidence of why it happened is screaming at any objective mind.
GOP seems to be more of an offender at the moment.
C'mon, man! At the moment??? Nancy Pelosi is a fvckin' billionaire from insider trading. The tiny handful that actually see their jobs as civil servants has nothing to do with their party affiliation.
If you're insinuating that Harris won't be as big of an underdog a week before the election as she is now and you think she'll win - why don't you go bet it now? Afterwards, poast your ticket here.
Bosides have done insider trading.
Dem Brian Higgins is who you want recently, but the next top three returns come from Repubs.

Well...okay. So, "more democrats" supposedly approve. Did you ever think that MAYBE that's done intentionally? They KNOW it will never pass! They KNOW their meal ticket is safe for perpetuity. But, HEY! Let's get some grandstanding, appearance points in the "us vs. them" show. Hell, the whole damn bunch could be complicit with that. "You guys pretend to be better than us for this one, okay?" Then, they all vote to increase their pay, their longevity, and their retirement benefits.
lol, you wouldn't know an objective mind even when one is kicking your ass. When an argument comes down to accusations of 'lost cause' and in the same sentence you mention 'antiquated', you know any objectivity has been tossed out the window by you...as if there was any objectivity in your virtue-signaling bullshit to begin with. Now get back to work freeing those slaves, Antiquated Emancipation Man. Use that virtue-signaling superpower. And say hi to Toby...I mean Kunta...for me.
Let me know when you find any other reason for the Civil War that isn't linked to chattel slavery and the profits made from it. There are none.
Romney doesn't support it the bill. He wasn't commenting on election chances, rather his ability to become Pres given the divesting that would be required of Trump (sellling Truth Social stock, all that).
Reporter on congressional stuff... probably sitting in on this meeting:
a) define establishment, b) this is about congress and all presidents, not just pres Trump. You talk about "establishment", so you should be begging for bills that penalize corrupt trading practices.
oh OK, now it's slavery is 'linked' to the Civil War. That's more like it, because I never said it wasn't linked. But of course, we were arguing why the war was prosecuted, which was to preserve the Union. Do you want to make a list of things 'linked' to the Civil War? I already did but we can expand on it. It will be a very long list.
It's beneficial that we get to see these meetings- assuming they don't have other meetings that we don't see- and we can also hear the rhetoric. Whether or not one chooses to believe the theater is another thing altogether.
Make a list of things NOT LINKED to the profits from chattel slavery. If chattel slavery is abolished, or doesn't exist, then there is no civil war in the 1860s. Involvement or participation can be told with every story of every person living at that time, that was affected by it. Soldiers in battle are fighting for their lives and their comrade's lives. They give less-than-a-shit about a constitution when bullets and artillery fragments are flying around, ripping bodies into piles of blood.
I'm not insinuating anything but a lot can happen over the course of 3+ months, both in politics and in sports. Is it safe to assume you've bet the farm on Trump? Let's see your ticket.
I have not bet on Trump. Although I obviously wish I did when he was an underdog back when the current administration was still successfully hiding Biden's cognitive disfunction. If I had, I could either lock in some nice arbitrage profit or ride a +EV ticket to the wire.
what about the dude with the "keys", who has predicted the elections correctly for 40 years... any stock in that guy?
Didn't he predict a Biden win? Looks like that streak is broken.
No, he hadn't/hasn't made a prediction. I was wondering if that will factor in the "vegas line." Other things have to happen before he makes a prediction. Harris isn't the official nominee, yet. Apparently, the incumbency is a big deal. I don't think Biden, with the way he has degenerated, was going to win, however.
First of all, I rarely gamble and I'm talking about athletics. I don't gamble at all on politics. You could say it's not my milieu. I only bet with UNC71-00 four years ago to get him off my back. I asked that my winnings be donated to St. Jude's Children Hospital, but unfortunately the kids never received their money.
Then STFU.
