yeah, i've seen this.  i've said on the other site that this is free money for anyone who wants it for a few reasons.  of course, you have to tie your money up at 5dimes for the rest of the year and not too many people want to do that.

Exactly, that's how we play political futures and tie up the money until November, so as MLB or NFL futures.

this one ends on 12/31, but if you want to risk it and hold that money up, i think it's a winner.

Jeff Flake, a conservative GOP senator from Arizona, says there is "Fear and Loathing" of Trump.

https://politicalwire.com/2016/06/09/flake-says-there-is-fear-and-loathing-of-trump/

It will be interesting to see how many Republican politicians enthusiastically support Trump vs. those who treat him like the plague.

Good news for Trump - there were millions more white, older working-class voters in 2012 than initially thought.

They lean conservative and they have a high propensity to vote.

I don't really get why democrats get the majority of the "minority" vote. What type of view points do conservative minded people put off minorities? This is an honest question. I mean here are some sides on common issues:

Taxes: Republicans favor a flat tax and Democrats favor a progressive tax system

Immigration: Republicans are more strict on illegal immigration and Democrats are more lenient

Abortion: Republicans lean pro life and Democrats lean pro choice

I could go on but other than the liberal media making everything a civil rights issue why do most minorities vote democrat? I don't see what would make someone who isn't white side with democrats on the majority of these view points. At least not the 90/10 split it is today.

I am shocked - this Zogby poll has HRC up by 7% in Kansas!!!

https://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/capitol-report/2016/jun/10/poll-shows-clinton-leading-in-kansas-bro/

There are MANY undecideds and it is still about five months until the election, but this is yet another poll that underscores Trump's high negatives.

Going price seems to be rising. -340 on SB. Great chance for Trump bettors to jump in at +285.

Cause the make believe Dems tell the minorities that all Reps are racist, thats the real only reason.

Trump would be so much better for young minorities as far as getting them jobs, but most of them would rather sell drugs, do crime, get welfare than work for 15 an hour.  Who can blame them, they have a nice thing going.

lol. yup.... thats the going rate i guess... just another informed person.



WASHINGTON — Gene Alday, a Republican member of the Mississippi state legislature, apologized last week for telling a reporter that all the African-Americans in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi, are unemployed and on food stamps.

“I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks,’” Alday said to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger, a Mississippi newspaper, earlier this month. “They don’t work.”

Nationally, most of the people who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are white. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.




"40.2 percent are white..."

I don't like to talk politics, but I like numbers. here are the numbers on why blacks support the democrats.

In 1956, 40% of African Americans voted for Eisenhower.

In 1960, 30% of African Americans voted for Nixon (over JFK).

In 1964, 6% of African Americans voted for Goldwater. And it never got better.

Why did this happen? Because he (along with the majority of the GOP) voted against the voting rights act.

If someone voted against your right to vote, would you back them?

Dead heat in Utah:

Utah is another deep Red state that underscores Trump's weakness.

Just seeing this now after already make my thread...I think that Hillary at -300 is an UNBELIEVABLE steal and a joke. I am not even going into the ins and outs of this thing, but it is crystal clear what is going on here and I encourage everyone to take the free money.

It is true.  Republicans are awful at PR.  Conservatives have been the biggest supporters of minorities for a couple centuries now... but low information voters buy the lie

Sarah Palin hands her party to Trump:

https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/06/how-the-party-of-palin-became-the-party-of-trump.html

Matthew Continetti, a huge Palin supporter, has strongly condemned Trump's candidacy:

It’s a joke. All of it: his candidacy, the apparatus of propaganda and grift surrounding it, the failures of governance and education and culture that have brought us to this place. What disturbs me most is the prospect that Donald Trump is what a very large number of Republican voters want: not a wonk, not an orator, not a statesman, not even a leader, really, if by leader you mean someone who persuades and inspires and manages a team to pursue a common good. They just want a man who vents their anger at targets above and below their status.

Continetti recognizes that Trump is basically an ignorant authoritarian bully.  He is one conservative Republican that, this time, gets it.
