The market does not predict harpy being in trouble from the FBI? How predictable was the market regarding TRUMP 4, 5 months ago?

I'm glad you mentioned that. I placed a bet with my dad last fall that Trump would snag the Pubbie nom; it was a gentleman's bet. I gave him even odds even though I could have negotiated a 4-1 payout for myself based on the implied odds for him winning the nom back then.

But a gentleman's bet is a gentleman's bet. And like a gentleman, my dad paid off the bet after Super Tuesday. Smiley

To be frank, I've been dismissing all that "contested convention" fol-de-rol as nothing more than sensationalistic clickbait. Trump's the same negotiator he's always been, and he would have get it on the second ballot with one simple negotiation were he not to get it on the first ballot.

I was expecting him to come a wee bit short on the first but snap it up on the second by agreeing to put Ted Cruz on the ticket as his VP choice. That would have been a Trump-level negotiation. The advantage for The Donald would be threefold:

1. On the second ballot, he'd have a near-unanimous majority. Just ask yourself what The Donald would do with that in the general.
2. Trump the businessman has hired people that had fought him earlier, provided that they fought him skilfully. Regardless of what you think of Ted Cruz's character, his organization has been very skillful at working the delegate system. If Donald picks Ted as his running mate, Teddy will be put in charge of GOTV.
3. Given that we now know that Sen. Cruz  has a dark side, Trump could use him as the Trump Administration's hatchet man.

And I'm quite sure that Trump is supremely confident in his ability to smooth over his supporters' ruffled feathers if he were to choose Cruz.

----------

To get back to the general: the same "gut" that told me The Donald would get the Pubbie nom is telling me that the election is Hillary's to lose. Why? In a nutshell, Trump's negatives are the kind that are going to be hard to get rid of. Hillary's will be less difficult because she's "the devil you know". Much of the dirt on her is past its sell-by date, and some of it is way past its sell-by date. If you were Joe Moderate, how would you like to hear a Trump caller regaling you about the Monica Lewinsky scandal of 1998?  Huh

Plus, there's the Obama factor. Hard for you to believe, but a lot of folks still like him and some still look up to him. Guess how he's going to weigh in?


TRUMP did not play the monica card, harpy did by attacking TRUMP, calling him sexist. TRUMP is a judoka. He needs to be attacked first to use your own energy back at you. Right now a drug dealer from the mexican cartel, a catholic pope, a seating US president, lots of european leaders, all called publicly for his scalp, or worse. He's still standing.

Check the date I started the Up like TRUMP thread... This is when I believed he was there for the win, so will shall see.

Funny, I forgot I was in the bernie thread... Berniebots used to keep it up for me while I was asleep, but it seems they know it is over...

Anyway it makes sense since it has been painfully clear for a while now that Clinton doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against Trump.

Well, we'll see. The prediction markets and my own guts say it's Hillary's election to lose.

Anyhoo, it's not like I have any real horse in the match.

The failure of bernie was his will not to fight harpy clinton, not to refuse the help from moveon.org, the absolute clinton machine. He swallowed the poison pill. In reality it was a show: clinton was already chosen by the DNC.

She was. But they had to make some effort to stop bernie. No debates at first. Then debates at odd times. Purging of voter rolls. Or unwanted changes in party affiliation. Polls opening hours late in some places. Ridiculous deadlines to register to vote like in new york. Which passed before people knew the candidates. Closing of lots of voting places in some states. Like two thirds in arizona. Despite knowing more people would be voting. Declaring clinton the winner with 1% of vote counted and lots of people still waiting to vote. Etc.


You missed the part when bernie was accused of hacking in the clinton election database and he got locked out from the DNC for a while.

Mafia Taking Over As Italy Flooded with Migrants





As more migrants come to Italy the Italian Mafia is running migrant services because the government doesn’t have the capacity.

A combination of factors has led to a rise influence for the Italian Mafia. Every day ships set sail from the North African coast in Libya and elsewhere for Italy and the government can no longer cope with the numbers. The situation on the border with Austria has not helped matters either and many fear that Italy is quickly turning into a failed state, Die Welt reports.

The closure of the Brenner Pass by Austria, combined with new laws that would allow Austria to turn away migrants at the border has angered Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who has condemned Austria’s actions and continues to do so on an almost daily basis saying Wednesday, “The proposal of closing the Brenner Pass is shamelessly against European regulations, as well as against history, against logic and against the future.”

The Italian media have dubbed the tensions between Italy and Austria a migrant “cold war”  and try to evoke images of the Berlin wall comparing the Austrians to the East German regime.

The Italians now have a new fear, they are afraid that their country will follow the same fate as Greece. Greece has been recently flooded with over 50,000 migrants who are stranded in the country because of the closure of the Macedonian border and the result has been escalating levels of tension and violence.

The European Union-Turkey deal has provided some respite from the migrant flow, though not completely. No such agreement protects the sea borders of Italy and the Italians worry that they are ill prepared for a massive wave of migrants.

Most migrants who reach Italy, like Greece, have little intention of staying there because unlike Germany or Sweden, Italy doesn’t have generous benefits for asylum seekers. Most who do remain in the country end up in criminal activities like running drugs or doing odd jobs like selling knock-off goods or doing errands for the Italian Mafia.

The Italian police are tending to look the other way to many migrants simply for the sake of convenience.

Since the government has been stretched to the limit in regards to migrants the Mafia has found an opening. The Mafia are said to have bribed their way into the “refugee business” and now receive large amounts of cash from the government to provide housing and food to migrants.

The housing they do provide tends to be dilapidated, the food is often rotten and the Mafia have even made migrants pay them daily “protection money.”

In the areas of Southern Italy and Sicily in particular the migrants have little hope of ever finding work. The youth unemployment rate is over 60 percent in some areas and it forces the migrants to turn to the Mafia for work. Migrants who don’t want to play ball are dealt with violently as was the case of a Gambian migrant who was shot in the head for not “playing by the rules.”

Experts fear that the worst is yet to come for Italy as reports say that over 800,000 migrants have amassed on the North African coast simply waiting for the right moment to come to Italy. With no clear plan and a growing Mafia unafraid to use violence, many see the situation as a powder keg.

Mob Tears Down Barricades, Demands Trump's Beheading





A mob of anti-Trump activists were trying to break through riot police lines and Secret Service security while calling for the GOP frontrunner’s beheading.

Infowars reporters Rob Dew and Josh Owens are reporting from the protests outside the Trump speech at the California Republican Party convention in Burlingame, Calif.

934  Other / Politics & Society / Target’s Stock Down 5 Percent, Brand Damaged, By Pro-Transgender Bathroom Rules… on: April 30, 2016, 06:20:13 PM





Target’s stock price and its favorability among shoppers are crashing as the public rebukes the retail giant for ignoring their vigorous protest against mixed-sex changing rooms and bathrooms.

The company’s stock was two cents shy of $84 on August 19, when it revealed it would not allow shoppers to use single-sex bathrooms or changing rooms. Instead, all rooms were opened up to anyone claiming to be of either sex. As of 4.00 p.m. Friday, the stock had dropped almost $4.50, down to $79.50.

That’s a huge loss of 5 percent in stock value, costing shareholders roughly $2.5 billion in company value.

In between those two dates, more than one million people had signed a boycott petition sponsored by the American Family Association. Public opinion also shifted strongly in favor of single-sex bathrooms.

The damage to Target’s favorability is also being tracked by YouGov’s BrandIndex service.

By April 27, “The percentage of consumers who would consider buying items at Target the next time they want to go shopping at a department store dropped from 42% to 38% over the past two weeks,” YouGov reported April 29. That’s a 10 percent drop, likely fueled by social-media conversations via Facebook and various news sites.

Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump

40% of the African Americans supporting Donald Trump? That is pure rubbish. You can claim that "40% of the African American GOP members" support Trump. But less than 4% of the African Americans are GOP voters. So his overall support among the blacks will be less than 4%.

Last time, Obama received more than 96% of the African American vote. This time it will remain as the same, as per the ground reports (in case of a Hitlery vs Trump fight.


This time do you believe 96% will go vote for clinton?

The percentage will be higher if either Trump or Cruz is the opponent. Remember the Democrat primaries? Hitlery was leading Sanders by more than 80% among the African Americans in most of the states. This can be a big disadvantage for Trump, especially in swing states with sizable black populations, such as Florida, Michigan, and Virginia.

No, this does not sound right.   Hillary is the weakest candidate in US politics ever.  She will not get the same percent among black voters as a black presidential candidate.  Fewer because she is weak and fewer because she's not black like Obama.
