I think there’s a lot of money to be made by betting on Trump with your liberal loser friends and coworkers. People just don’t understand Trump’s appeal. I keep hearing these pundits moan and wail when Trump talks off the top of his head. I find that to be his most effective quality. Sure he’s inconsistent on occasion. But so am I. So are you.
It is so refreshing to hear a candidate actually say what is on his mind without filtering it through focus groups and memorizing talking points.
I agree. The careful crafting of communications has gotten completely out of control, not only in politics but also within the corporate world (and of course, the marketing folks have been at it even longer). Every time I hear a politician carefully straining to say only the pre-rehearsed talking points, it reminds me of the idiocy that I witness every day working in a large organization. My current pet peeve is people who use the word "ask" as a noun (example: "What was the ask from that meeting?). How about using instead the perfectly fine (and grammatically correct) word "request?" Corporate speak is just a cover that is used when someone has little substance, and it makes those who use it feel "cool" and like part of the in-crowd. And for all those reasons it makes me want to vomit - it's so stupid and superficial.
I have the same reaction when brainless politicians try to fool people with deceptive messaging rather than just taking objectively beneficial action.
I got 10-1 odds that Hillary will not be president. I put up $100 against a $1,000 payday.

I’ve got a cool grand riding on Trump on Predictit.com: I’ll win a dollar for every 34 cents I bet, clearing $2000.00.
I’m NOT a betting person, not in the least, but I consider this a sure bet, and besides if I lose, our country is done anyway and nothing really matters anymore.
BTW, the odds are insanely skewed against Trump because I suspect most of the money is being wagered by clueless Europeans.
