It appears that someone is attempting to make excuses for Hillary's lack of turnout for her rallies. And yet, that poster does not think it will affect voter turnout. Maybe, but in my opinion it could be related. I get the idea that the above poster feels that Hillary is so boring that she would need Palin to get any audience participation. That may be true also, but what does that say for Hillary?

I just think it is interesting that when pollsters call someone on the phone, they can get a vote for Hillary or Donald. But, when it comes to actual participation, Donald gets the turnout. Seems to me that this participation would be the kind of motivation that would get a better voter turnout.

US Presidential Election 2016
Hide

US Presidential Election 2016 - US Politics Betting Odds - Paddy Power
Applies to the winning candidate. Others on Request
Hillary Clinton
2/9
Donald Trump
3/1

Can someone explain gambling to me? It looks like:
This is the time to make money. If you bet $900 on Hillery, you get back your 900 and make $200 if she wins.

But look at this deal. If you bet $900 on Trump, you get back your $900 and make $2,700. It's practically a lock. How can you pass that up? Is it rigged?

Perhaps you can compare it with what happened in Great Britain with the Brexit vote. The odds looked much the same but Brexit was rejected leaving some with their pants down. So go ahead and make your bet on Hillary. My bet is that you won't bet. Now why do I say that?

Because you didn't understand my drift. We agree.

Here's a better question. Knowing all that you know, why won't you bet on Trump?

I already made my bet and won. I bet someone that if I asked the question.....List " Hillarys Accomplishments" .....I would not get a single answer.

I didn't. I won. I am on a roll.

I want to get back to OP. I think you meant accomplPLUSHments.

Since I never voted for Oblunder and I do not care what happens to him as long as he does not delay his departure from the White House in Jan, I would just as soon forget this dark spot (no pun intended) on American history.

His accomplishments? He has proven to me that anyone can be president, no matter the qualifications. He has proven to me that it really is possible to have a president worst than Jimmy 'the peanunt' Carter. Other than that, he has redefined the term "FOLLOWING" to mean "leading from behind." And thus by leading from behind, he as proven himself to be gay.

LOL! Not there's anything wrong with that!

I think that's why Trump is running. The birther thing was embarrassing and Obama's jokes at the press conference was too much for even the most even tempered person in the world to ignore.

His biggest and most meaningful accomplishments happens to be his only two accomplishments . He got elected twice .

In only 20 to 25 years he will be nothing more than a footnote as the first Black President and by then it will be of little interest to the American public .
