He can still be bet at 1 to 25 which seems strange to me when he will get a majority of delegates. I only have a basic knowledge of the process though. |

I think death or announcing the whole thing was a joke would be the only ways he wouldn't get it. That's why I'm willing to pay up on the bet I had he wouldn't win. I think I gave +450 odds too. Ouch! Who would predicted it, other than EB? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Or something more exotic and less likely, the republicans could risk lawsuits and unrest that might tear the party apart by changing the rules. I think the likelyhood that "he might do something stupid" is probably the biggest reason that it is 1:25 instead of something more along the lines of 1:100 Is there a similar line regarding the likelyhood of clinton getting the nomination?

He's going to have about 1400 delegates, good luck changing any rules. I don't get any of this. Trump is 10 times more qualified compared to that never owned anything, got zero experience running anything bozo Obama in 2008. Where was the outcry that he shouldn't be president. Trump has actually made decisions that effected positively the lives of thousands of people, for decades. Obama was was a professional candidate who had done squat. Yet we thought he would be just wonderful. Look at how that turned out, worse president than Carter, probably worst in history. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He's really sorry for all of it, especially for raping Juanita Broderick. Really really really sorry.. But Trump, that rascal, he's going to educate a few people on this. "Trump has made clear in recent weeks that he intends to make Bill Clinton's sexual history a key campaign issue, describing him at rallies and on social media as "the worst abuser of women in the history of politics" and labeling his wife an "enabler." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/19/trump-refers-to-alleged-bill-clinton-sexual-indiscretions-as-rape.html If you take a risk, you may lose.

Sadly he probably could with the cult of personality that follows him. He is of course not the first nor will he be the last, which is why they made the law in the first place. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Do you think that this strategy is the surest path to a win, or do you think he should take a higher road? |
