Those Wall Street guys are the ones that will get burned by the Trump tax plan, I bet.
Hedge Fund guys are not liking the carried interest tax proposed by Trump. But their tax rate should decrease as long as they are in the top 1%. Above all, stability and predictability are highly desired in their industry.

These really smart people usually know how to bet correctly.
The Donald is richer and has way more ties with Wall Street elites but they know the voters will ultimately pick Hillary over him!



Please don't let Bernie Sanders read this!

Wrong again...people who gamble on elections called that one for Reagan. Actually people who gamble on elections have the single most accuracy rate through the last 100 years

PS...Trump is no Reagan

I wasn't talking about gambling on elections.. I was talking about polls.

I agree... Trump is no Reagan... and he's still a much better option than Killary.

P.S.

Odds (and polls) mean jack with 5 months till the general election. Just ask Carter... Dukakis... H.W. Bush... Gore... Kerry... and the others who lost.

But even of those 17, I'm still baffled that there were no standouts of smart, experienced, articulate people that voters would flock to.

Of course they will say that. They bought and paid for Hillary Clinton. Trump is not for sale!

Kasich fit that description, and he is the only one in the field that, as a Democrat, I thought could beat Clinton in November. But Trump sucked all the air out of the campaign and no one else could ever get any traction. Trump is the consummate reality star--he knows how to keep himself in the spotlight and never let anyone else have a moment of attention.

If we wanted an attention grabbing, egomaniacal, con man, media ***** for a president, we couldn't ask for a better one than Donald Trump.

So how do you describe Killary and Bernie?
