Being a businessman, I think Trump would have a positive view for the sports betting industry in America. Employment opportunities, gov revenue and so on. I just think out of the candidates on offer he would be the better man to get this done for you all over there.

Thoughts?

The problem here in the USA is the State of Nevada has a monopoly on Sports Gambling and their powerful lobbying interests keep everything in check.  Nevada has all the Politicians in their hip pocket.

I understand (I think) the power of nevada. But, the power of legalizing this industry throughout America would be huge, not only nationally but internationally. It would be amazing to witness it happen. I want it to happen so much for America.

This isn't a thing that is presidentally driven. Actually a state's rights issue.

He'd be great for the legalization of betting and marijuana, and absolutely nothing else.

The Truth. What happens to Las Vegas if casinos pop up in every state? There are currently 470 Native American run casinos across 28 states. The one thing that they don't have is a sports book. 

Granted, LV's existing reputation as an elite vacation destination will hold them by for the time being. But the end of the monopoly on gaming is getting closer. There's a growing population of people that don't want to deal with the seedy atmosphere after dark. Just ask Atlantic City.

The religious elements of the Republican party will be opposed.  The only chance is for the Libertarian part of the party to get stronger.

Making something legal = less governing and policing.  About the only politicians that want that are linertarians and anarchists.

Yep, a misogynistic racist azzhole who knows absolutely nothing about policy and answers every question by making fun of other candidates is exactly what we need. I am waiting for this joke to be over but it somehow keeps on going.

Its so pathetic when people try and say trump is a racist. The guy said if youre an illegal and commit a serious crime you should be deported, what the FCK is wron with that?

But of course idiots wanna use the word racist cuz it makes them feel cool and important and trendy. If what trump said is racist then the ban on crack is racist as well.

 

So sick of misinformed ignorant people making brash accusations just because they don't like what the person said. Its people like this that are ruining this country, and theyre always idiots

misogynistic??? The truth isn't racist.
In this society women are judged on their looks = reproductive appeal.A women is at her greatest advantage 18-24 and then it's all down hill.A man is judged on how he provides=money.He reaches his height at 45-55.
Trump is use to internatioal models and beauty contestants and if Carli wants to play on a big stage she comes up second-class in looks and bottomline. Trump can't respect her and if she didn't have overies she wouldn't have been invited to the first debate and her name would be George Pataki.

Trump will say no more than he has to right now.....As long as his poll numbers are strong he will just be repeating his points with different words....No need for him to tackle legalized gambling right now anyway......He does a better job at dodging harball media questions than Jim Hardbaugh or Bill Belichick (actually Bill is just flat out rude and wont awnser at all, Don cannot be that bold)..........God does the media hate Donald Trump and will eventually, slowly take him down I believe........At some point I suspect we hear a lot more from Don and more of his ideas...Including gambling.....He is DEF a pro gamble guy but I am not sure if wants it strictly GOV run (like liquor, GOV License) Or if he just wants it to stay in casinos? Nontheless when it does become legal I cant wait to see what the GOV does with the common 10% juice as far as who enforces it and how much they get on top of the taxes the "legal books" or casinos will pay.
