But he also knows he won't win and he is just trying to do damage where he can. He strikes me as the kind of man who would seek to drag others down with him (if he thinks they are part of the reason he loses). But rational and Trump doesn't seem to match so who knows what he is thinking. | ||

I don't want to be mean to anyone but I can't understand how someone can do it and still have an ounce of respect for democracy. (Ok that was a little mean, sorry) here's some reasons: gambling addiction. They think it provides more meaningful information than polling. They're only betting on other country's stuff. as a hedge against risk. they're otherwise horrible people who care about democracy (i.e. they'd have no problem betting on life/death matters) | ||

Are interest groups rigging the election through capital again? It happened in the UK where large companies and City pumped out bets remain to influence the vote The most conservative statistical model out there that I'm aware of (538 polls-plus) gives Trump worse odds than 5-1. It's pretty unlikely the interest groups are rigging the odds through capital. | ||

Keep trusting those phony polls, plenty here going to get a huge shock come election day. People said the exact same thing in 2012 and in 2008. Doubting the validity of the pollsters is a common tactic among the losing side but the facts are what they are. The polls turn out to be right especially with how long and how often they have been doing them they end up being far more accurate than polls around even other issues. | ||
