Well, that is why she is a bad candidate.
No need to get snarky with the italics.

I don't know, I've been watching her for 30 minutes now and she's been all over the board. For as much personality she has, she doesn't deviate too far to one side or the other for very long.
So did Brexit at Ladbrokes. That's not to say that Trump won tonight because he didn't, but the betting markets will just as soon lead you into the sniper fire a la last scene of Full Metal Jacket.
What's that from?
And not being prepared, which even Foxheads agreed with, was the ultimate hubris. If they don't roll out the red carpet for him in China, he's just pulling chalks and going back to 'Murica. That's the guy I want to be my president, unprepared and irrational.
The best part I thought was that he didn't admit guilt. Like that makes it all better.
Stay skyrocketed in the days leading up to the vote in betting markets, playing on people panicking and voting to stay. Bookies cleaned house on that.
That's one example, the election is weeks away, Hillary has been in the lead for months and the line then jumped tonight. Not the same thing.
Ah, right, thanks. Dunno why I've never looked at that before (only heard about it). Certainly better than silly polls (as they say right at the top).
Good analogy, except for the completely-different-electorate-due-to-different-country and yes/no versus voting for a candidate stuff
I'm saying it's not unprecedented that a betting market is not a perfect indicator of future results. It's psychological, people see that and "steam chase" the favorite, thinking it's a lock. The bookies are really good at making a market to separate people from their money and collect a commission, not predicting elections is my point.
Gratuitous bump of my best post of the night.Doctor Detroit said:
Someone just said he would look bad if he bullied. As if that 90 minutes of it never happened?
She really did better than I expected.
The usual crowd will be spewing the usual stuff and whining about likes.Prediction for the Trump thread tomorrow:
This is beyond sad. How did a man who speaks like this even get to this point? I mean...I realize that real speech transcribed is rarely as literate sounding in print as in real life...but that's laughably illiterate. I had to read it twice just to get a sense of something that could have been said in 2 or 3 lines just as effectively. WHO WOULD WANT THIS TOOL AS PRESIDENT????
