The rational part of me thinks that he knows. 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.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I'm sure you could ask for asylum in Europe, as politcally prosecuted victims, as you would all been put in jail then if you dare to say anything against the Supreme Leader.

I'm white, straight and middle class, so I have little to fear from Trump. But a couple friends I know would move back to Bangladesh and I'm sure it would suck for anyone who isn't white and straight.

So in short, delete all social media and wait 4 year until we vote him out off office.

Given current circumstances, this election's downticket votes might already do much of the job.

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)

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.

And the final poll before the brexit vote had remain up by 10 points.It was also the largest sample size of all polls.Explain that?

Keep trusting those phony polls, plenty here going to get a huge shock come election day.

I'll have a hearty laugh if the polls are wildly overestimating Trump's support rather than Clinton's

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.
