        I think (and worry) that you are very wrong with this.

        The US is a hyper individualist society. Unless they've been personally affected by a Covid death they will be apathetic to this. His 'Democratic cities are burning' and his 'Blacks are coming to your neighbourhood' rhetoric will work on massive swathes.

        This won't dent him, just as Access Hollywood didn't dent him.

          The Atlantic article is the only scandal so far that could hurt him, but that's fizzling without Kelly or Mathis confirming it.

            Are you willing to back this opinion up with a wager? Feels like we could put together quite a fun IPB book on the election.

            Here's the current bookies odds for info. You can get a shade of odds against Trump.

              EI if you are willing to spend enough on consultants to explain what it is to them and accountants to prove to them that its low risk.

                Thought EI might be the play.

                  I'm trying to help you chimps make a few bob. I've got my money on already . I'll buy some random stuff off the internet with my winnings . Comparing the Hilary/\Trump match up to this is the leak in your play.

                    I could stretch to €50. Any more than that and I'd be rooting for the cunt.

                      Sure - I'll give you my 55 Biden to your 50 Trump?

                      If I win, I promise to waste the money frivolously.

                          Thumbs up.

                          If I win I promise to spend it on strong alcohol, or maybe heroin.

                            Don't restrict yourself to binary choices. Have both.

                            Booked. Anyone else want in?

                              Went blackberry-picking with the youngest on Howth Head last night, just baked this and this with the bounty.

                              Only sampled the squares so far but muy delicioso as Dora the Explorer would say. Still got a fucking pile of blackberries left but I am not making jam as that is a slippery slope.

                                I'm starting a 1 year analytics course in January so the following year might be looking for either

                                Or

                                                          Jaysis. That's probably the least temperately worded statement out of the EU during this entire Brexit shitshow.

                                                          I think it probably translates to:

It is a classic strategy, even if taken to the extreme in this case. That's why these types of negotiations always seem to be about to collapse and then there's a last minute deal.

                                                                                  Well he is a smart guy. And you're a very smart guy.

                                                                                                                        Our bets are carefully calibrated such that the financial upside is miniscule compared to the wellbeing inspired by the resultant gloating. So yeah, just €50 a pop.

                                                                                                                        My proper bets on Biden are with the bookies. He's been shaved slightly this week to a general 4/5 and you can get 11/10 Trump if you shop around.

                                                                                                                        All of the polls indicate a very curious lack of momentum by both sides over the last few weeks. It'll be interesting to see what the first post-Woodward polls say, if the Dems can get it to stick that Trump literally killed American people by his disastrous response, then I'd expect the market to start moving more. Even if it doesn't stick, Trump is on constant defence so that's all good too.

                                                                                                                        And people are already voting.
