He told me he met you earlier. Really good guy. I don't really follow the bookies closely. I had to look up the presidential odds but had read she was heavily favored a month ago. I was actually surprised to see it has risen despite recent events. As for the NBA odds, I seem to spend my summers around gyms and was told that last week by someone I would not doubt. As for the golf bet, no thank you. I am too proud to accept the amount of strokes required to make that bet fair!

I thought your link indicated Trump was actually a favorite now? Unless the implication is that "swing states" aren't actually swing states by the definition because Hillary doesn't need them to win. And no, you would have to lay a lot more than -325 on GS making the playoffs. They are less than even money to WIN the NBA championship next year... (-130 l think was the last number I saw)

interesting. I also missed he announced Palin would be in his cabinet. I can only hope he is talking about an actual cabinet in the White House. Or maybe Minister of Presidential Wardrobe and Hair Products. I could roll with that.

And actually, you can win $2600 on a $1000 bet online now. Have to lay $3250 to win $1000 on Hillary.

No, you already established Vegas is often wrong (and I won't deny that). Based upon your link posted, I would be willing to bet straight up but not require you to give me odds (even though trump leads in all the swing states).

My money is fresh for the taking then!

He's a lock

But don't feel bad...22 goes into my age more than once as well...

22 x ?

Hasn't seemed to be a hindrance to Google, Apple, etc...amazingly the more money they make, the more they stay put in a state with higher tax rates.

Correct. He's a democrat because he's one of the most intelligent men in the world

I understand he's more of a burnt orange and white kind of kid. Don't be surprised to see 2 Silsbee kids playing for Shaka out of that class.

Honestly it would depend on much more than tax rates. And he would not pay a high tax rate under my theory but would pay a higher one the more successful he was. But how would being a republican make you more successful than me? Of course that alone does not determine someone's success. At least not monetarily. How the government operates does have a bearing as we both would acknowledge

He hasn't had a lot of looks yet because those mostly come from summer games. But most know of him already. All that will come. I also hear he will be cleared soon. Before it's said and done, he will have a ton of offers. And the way he has apparently grown, good grief.

No, I am saying it sure is ironic if you all are as correct as you think you are. But are you actually saying you believe there is no government influence on the stock market? Surely that was a typo or misstatement. I KNOW you aren't that naive.

Close. How could Gates, Buffett, and Jobs all be Democrats since we are all "libtards" and "morons"? (I am NOT quoting you there by the way.)

I actually thought you probably did. Thank you for the Steve Nash-like assist

I will wait on 2 things: 1.) an answer to my original question 2.) you to produce the name of a wealthier individual than Gates or Buffett on the right.

By the way, I didn't know that about your move down south. Very commendable indeed.

I also have confidence in Bill Gates (as well as the late Steve Jobs). Very smart men who, along with Warren Buffett, are among the wealthiest men in the history of this country. And I would hope you would concede that they are all more business savvy than you or me. Know what else they have in common? All Democrats However could that be???

It's not light reading but here is a report from the IMF after an economic study. Interesting findings for you "trickle-down economics" guys. Swear it's like watching Bart Simpson burn his finger on the stove, over and over... [Hidden Content]

Sooo, basically nothing I stated or posted was incorrect. Thank you all for playing

Sorry, I missed your question. Economically, you and I probably agree on more than you think. I am for responsible governmental spending and financial accountability. I am also very much in favor of a sliding scale taxation where the the wealthiest pay a far greater percentage than the poor. And I am for that despite the fact a flat tax would very much benefit me and my family personally.

The current administration (all Dems) and legislators (both Dem majorities) have governed to reduce the debt and deficit. Their once disastrous economy has also significantly rebounded. I assume your argument is that is in spite of their leaders, not because of it? I doubt very seriously your argument would be the same if the state was under other leadership...

I know that's tongue in cheek but I don't see how it could have hurt Trump. After all, Bernie's favorability ratings are consistently 15 points or more higher than the Donald's
