I figured out a way to make money off it. https://www.galleryfurniture.com/best-offer-ever Mattress Mack is letting you buy a mattress that is worth more than $2,000 and then take your pick at the winning party for the general election. I am going to wait closer to November to buy an expensive tempurpedic mattress and make sure she is still leading in the polls and pretty much get my mattress for free. If she loses, I just got a mattress that I need anyway. You can't return the mattress if you do not like it btw, sale is final.
It's not in the link, I called the store to get clarification and the lady said "whenever Mack feels like not offering it" I am going to wait until July or August.
I suggest you have the $2000+ ready just in case. I bought my adjustable Tempur-Pedic bed at Gallery Furniture late last year. I love it. My money was definitely well spent.
Buy two mattresses..pick each candidate...get one free, so your net cost is 50%...of course if the price is inflated, etc then you aren't really doing so well..
smart move. I know my parents are 100% positive trump will win, felt the same way about Romney. I imagine they will lose a pretty penny on this bet.
Trump has drawn even with Hillary at the national level: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKCN0Y21TN Trump wins Ohio, and Pennsylvania and Florida - which now all seem to be in play. This is not going to be easy walk for Hillary. It's going to be a dogfight, and people better not take Trump lightly or he will be the next President.
I don't put too much stock in the general polls this early especially when Trump has won his nomination and Clinton is still in a fight. I still think when things break down Trump has alienated enough voter groups that the demographics work against him. I agree fully though that Trump shouldn't be taken lightly and it's not going to be a cakewalk for Clinton.
I largely agree with this map. Trump might be able to flip OH or MI but I don't think he can make a dent much else. I also think that because he's alienated Latinos while Clinton has done a lot to build up her support that AZ could be in play. Trump certainly is a phenomena but one that hurts him as much as it helps him.
And before anyone points to the philippine elections as a a good sign for trump think again http://time.com/4324098/rodrigo-duterte-philippines-president-donald-trump-human-rights-immigration/
I think people are looking at old maps but this is a very different kind of election. Trump has the ability to connect with working class whites in labor - a group that traditionally votes democratic but might swing on Trump's anti-free trade message. That's how Bernie got traction against Hillary. It's no wonder that Trump is showing a lot of competitiveness in Ohio and PA (leading in Ohio). With Trump people have consistently overestimated his toxic language and it's impact on making people disgusted with him. He may lose Florida and Nevada, and even Arizona, but he is making his play for Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and PA. He takes those states and he has won the election. His strategy is very smart. He's making a play for labor and that's why he is talking about raising the minimum wage and maybe having to increase taxes on the rich. He's not moving to the center, he's courting Bernie voters knowing that Republicans have to rally behind him or face Clinton presidency. This is a very smart guy, with smart advisors, and a dangerous man at that. People are underestimating his chances and taking solace in that map. I'm telling you - he's going to turn things upside down and these polls should be a cause for concern for any one who supports Hillary.
The odds are -275 for Hillary. So for betting 2000 you would get back $727. This is a much better deal.
