    Another presidential candidate got millions more votes than him in 2016.Americans voted overwhelming against his party in 2018(most votes in US history).He has never had a 50 % approval rating and The US media reports what a horrible president and person he is daily.

    He won because of 78,000 votes in a fucked up pro racist slave state election system that is hard to change.Most Americans do not support Trump,dont want him in office and did not vote for him to be in office.

    Face it Tony, he's gonna win again. This Iran thing is gonna play out beautifully for him if they come to the table. Kim is chilling. Trump can drag out China and release little bits of news at a time to bump the market, the Fed is printing money... lets not forget "its the economy stupid". Nobody is gonna give sh*t that he's politically incorrect. Those folks will throw in the towel and stay home on voting day, tails between their legs, pouting that they are hopeless victims and nothing will never change.

    His odds increase daily. Is what it is Tony. Trump's gonna win.

  5. i have not seen any TV today so I dont know whether those protests are still going on in Iran or whether they are done for now, but either way I will say this:

    The Iranian "leaders" are brutal but they are also less-than-smart. Last month they killed- it is reported- 1500 people in the streets for protesting. It would be less-than-smart for them to shoot any protesters this weekend - people who are protesting the regime's killing of the air flight passengers. No, no, no. That would not be a good combination. Shooting and killing people who are protesting missile shooting that killed people.

    They are not very smart but today would be a good day to at least fake it a little. Show some restraint, or that uprising is going to go to another level right off.

    Of course, the senior-most leader who would have ordered their shooting - General Solemeini- is "currently unavailable" so I dont know how that changes the dynamics.

    Approval ratings have a far more accurate record of predicting presidents re elections Vanny.

    I know you guys are estatic Trump took a slight lead in the betting market but its just a temporary bump with from a temporary approval rating bump he had and some betters like you that think killing The Iranian will make the people approve of him.He has been behind the democrat most if not all his presidency and will be behind them again soon.If you go by betting odds by state hes a big underdog in MI,PA and WI,Gop lost all Senate races in all 3 states as well in 2018 and Trumps approavl is below 50 in all 3 states.

  8. Aside from the basic brutality of the regime- which we expect no less, the Iranians seem exceptionally disorganized. Shooting the plane down of course is Exhibit A, but then they go and arrest the British Ambassador for attending a vigil which turned anti-government and accusing him of helping to organize it. Say what, Mofo? Jeeezus H. This is not the time for those kind of bozo moves. Right when the whole world is watching in disbelief because of your last blunder.

    Hey, I have a great idea. Arrest the Canadian ambassador too. That should play well in Canada. Kill their people and then arrest their ambassador if he attends their vigil. What could go wrong there? No reason the Brits should have all the fun. Too bad the British ambassador had not gotten the memo from the tards here on the forum that says that the Iranians only hate Americans but everything is groovy with everyone else.

    As I said in a post earlier today: They are less-than-smart. I am sticking with that until they smarten up a bit. Shoot missiles at the Americans, Shoot missiles and kill some Canadians, and then arrest then arrest the British Ambassador. Yup. Be hard to squeeze much more stupidity into this week, but we know they can do it.

    The United States is criticized for not having diplomatic relations with Iran unlike spiffy countries like Canada. Howx it working out for them? Oh, I see. The Iranians just killed a bevy of Canadians and the British ambassador is/was in jail. Yup. With friends like the Iranians, who needs enemas?

    I don't buy that without doing more research on that. Sure they were heavily in favor of a Hillary win, and they were dead wrong.... and tbh... I've never followed them in politics until Trump came along really so I have no data to work with. But as sports go, those f'rs never cease to amaze me how most of the time they predict games down to a gnat's ass. So I'm gonna say your above statement is based on your opinion without further data in support of it. I'll go with the odds makers. Especially this time around as more and more people, like myself, are taking an interest and willing to toss money at it. Those approval ratings are bs... its all in who they ask. If there's no money involved on both sides.... its not an honest 'market'. Period. Case closed.

    Please do your research with approval ratings Vanny.Also pay attention when reading.Trump didnt have a presidential approval rating when he faced Hillary,Hillary was ahead with the oddsmakers though.


    A note with the oddsmakers,Vegas doesn't take presidential bets(I tried),so there isnt much money in the betting markets as many such as myself will not bet large sums of money with offshore sportsbooks or intrade type sites.Thier numbers are also all over the place with mutiple different sites having different odds.If people trusted these sites they would be arbing the price diffrences.
