    First of all Trump isn't leading my party because I don't have a party. The RNC have stated that the people don't choose the candidate, the party does. They are planning to screw my candidate of the nomination. If the system wan't rigged against Trump then I would take your action in heart beat but that is not the case. Trump is the absolute underdog. look, Trump is in a fight against democrats, republicans, media, billionaires ect... This is like the 95 rockets having to go through all the teams in the playoffs as road underdogs, it did happen but it was a huge upset. I made enough bets in my life time to know not take a suckers bet. The best I can do is give you a 1/1 odds on 100 dollar payoff. 100 dollar if Hilary wins and 200 if Trump wins. Go for it man, remember, Trump has no chance.

    If Trump unfairly has his nomination taken away from him, the bet is off.

    Just to let you know if the following

    If Trump is assassinated or to have any medical issues that will prevent him from running, the bet is off.

    If Trump is unfairly has his nomination taken away from him, the bet is off.

    Okay I thought we were donating for a cause like Make A Wish Foundation or Help A Liberal With Brain Surgery Foundation.

    (Um no, lol, we're donating to Clutchfans):rolleyes:

    ____________________

    These are just a few gems to serve as a reminder to you, @RocketsLegend.

    It appears that Trump was not assassinated, nor has he had any health issues that have prevented him from running. Also, his nomination wasn't unfairly taken away from him, as I saw his name on my ballot.

    You and I have plenty of time to save up. Let's put this bet to a really good cause, unquestionably one of the best sights on the Net and my personal favorite community of knowledgeable fans!

    Did you see how scared Trump looked?

    He was shaking so much the microphone was vibrating.

    Frozen in fear.

    I mean, @Rashmon , don't you think Trump has some fear related to the countless people/groups/disabled people/religions/races that he's insulted and belittled?

    You know he wouldn't say some of these things to someone's face. He's a coward with a platform.

    I didn't write it -- it was posted in my FB feed by multiple German friends of varying political persuasions. I tend to be mindful of Godwin's law and not go there, but I felt it warranted sharing. I personally don't think Trump is a fascist, properly speaking, but he speaks a language of anti-intellectual nativist populism that I do find abhorrent on it's own terms.

    I personally can't see a reason to support a Trump presidency unless it's out of a completely cynical vote of no confidence for the system itself, like this:



    And that's a line I'm not nihilistic enough to cross.

    I also had this in my Facebook feed, it was posted by several people, also ones who are very conservative. I don't think Trump would even get 5 % of the vote in Europe. I have spoken to some Americans recently, even educated ones, and was shocked to hear that several of them seem to want to vote for Trump.

    But I also totally see Zizek's argument...

    I think you over-estimate Europe. Right-wing candidates are getting far more than 5% of the vote.

    I would say it is a real stretch to say that a Republican Presidential Candidate whose opponent is known for close ties to the banking industry going after the biggest Democratic donor, the chairperson of the Fed, and someone from one of the big investment banks is anti-semitic. He put Obama in there too, was the video racist? He had Clinton, was the video sexist? Jewish people have done very well in the financial sector, but a criticism of the financial sector is not a criticism of Judaism.

    How can anyone support this blathering idiot? Trump's biggest enemy is, like all dictators and despots that came before him, reality. I pray to God for the good of all mankind that this wannabe doesn't get added to that list in 2 days.
