algernon Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Who do you think will win on Nov 8? This is not who you WANT to win. I am just curious who everyone thinks is going to win. Of course R leaning people will say Trump is going to blow it out of the water, and the D's will say Hillary is ahead. What is the opinion of the audience here, who do you think will win? 1 1
Wuzzums Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Trump won a long time ago. I'm so certain I'm taking bets.
algernon Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 Trump won a long time ago. I'm so certain I'm taking bets. That's nice, so did you vote down my post and not even participate in the poll? What's the deal with people voting stuff down?
aviet Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 What's the deal with people voting stuff down? Substitution for arguments. A week ago I would have gone for Hillary +1 or +2; but would now go for Donald. It appears that 'sleeper patriots' may be coming out of the woodwork to push it back: Would be good to see him on FDR. My worry is voter fraud though.
D-Light Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Trump won a long time ago. I'm so certain I'm taking bets. Will you go bankrupt like Trump if you lose so you can keep the money? 4

I'm not the one who voted you down. I'll vote you up to set the record straight ! Will you go bankrupt like Trump if you lose so you can keep the money? Trump is the greatest businessman that has lived and will ever live. It's irrational not to go with whatever new business he's concocted.
Iron Horse Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 This is how the mainstream does polling. It is worthless as a lanyard to measure anything against. It is no different to going to a NFL forum and polling who here likes football?
Donnadogsoth Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Trump will win. US politics comes in three-generation cycles, approximately 72 years between transformational politicians. George Washington (1779)---Abraham Lincoln (1861)---Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933)--- and now the Trump train is running a little late but should steam into the station in about seven days. 1

D-Light Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 You don't think Obama and Hillary are Transformational politicians? We've moved markedly more towards socialism in the last 8 years... with Hillary, we might make it as far as Great Britain.

DaveR Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Clinton. All these callers Stef has on about 'rigged polls' are cute, but saying it over-represents dems isnt an argument, not when we know far more voters are registered democrats. I also never see them compare polling to 2012 polling...perhaps because the weightings are very similar. All I hear is inane dogma like its a 'change election' therefore Trump has it. Yeah, Goldwater offered a 'change' and look where it got him. Prepare for Madame President.

Why do you assume that people misunderstand your poll? Post your poll and accept the results like a gentleman. Clinton.

Actually, labeling voter fraud and oversampling accusations as "cute" is not an argument. Sigh. My argument is calling polls rigged because 'they over sample dems' is disingenuous when dems do indeed outnumber Reps by registration, Only way trump may win now is if Hillary is directly implicated. i understand that may come tomorrow, but wont hold my breath.

Sampling more democrats in a poll than republicans will provide a false conclusion. What does voter registration have to do with polls where people are not required to register???
algernon Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 I just wanted to point out, the odds are pretty significant for all of you guys to go make some pretty serious money right now. 1 Donald Trump wins Election +515 2 Hillary Clinton wins Election -730 If I had the faith you guys do this would now be the time, never has the payout been this high on Trump.

If I put $1,000 on for Trump, how much would I get back?
algernon Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 If I put $1,000 on for Trump, how much would I get back? You would make $5150 (plus your original bet back).
aviet Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 You would make $5150 (plus your original bet back). I fell asleep. Would have made it otherwise. Anyway, waking up to this is worth more than $5,150. Please don't build a northern wall.
