That's the point I'm trying make...touting Vegas style oddsmaker numbers are not exactly that reliable especially given the range they change. It is my opinion with the number of variables in play right now NOBODY knows who is going to win the primaries or election. It's nothing more than a bet.

Except you didn’t look it up and let us know from 2013.

Better chance of the oddsmakers being right than your predictions, especially the many you’ve made of because Trump going to prison…but if you’re so sure he’s not going to win you can also bet on that.

Talking The fake Dereliction of Duty

The farce committe 6 is trying to get President Trump for "Dereliction of Duty" which is for the Military use this for Military to be accused, not civillians but Trump is a civillian.

While some states, such as Ohio, Texas and Virginia, have a crime titled dereliction or neglect of duty, the concept is better known in military law, where a federal criminal statute prohibits a member of the military from being “derelict in the performance of his duties.”

Under this statute, a soldier, for example, can be found guilty of a crime if the soldier failed to take an action that he or she was legally required to take, such as charging a hill following the order of a commander.

The House committee may conclude that President Trump failed to act by not stopping the rioters, which might be considered a violation of his responsibility under the Constitution.

But in my view, this would not be a criminal dereliction of duty]The reason is that though a president is commander in chief of the military, he is a civilian and not a member of the military.

As a result, he is not subject to military law.

Federal criminal law does not contain a dereliction of duty statute.

Any state dereliction of duty laws, regardless of their elements, cannot apply to President Trump because on Jan. 6 he was in Washington, D.C. – not in any state, and D.C. doesn’t have one of its own.

I doubt the odds were on Trump winning. That was the poster's point. Do you think anyone saw Obama winning in 2006? Or Bill winning in 1990?

Your putting words in my mouth....I haven't made any predictions....I don' have a magic 8 ball. I have made plenty of commentary on the variables that will help determine an outcome...but predictions....none that I can recall....you may be able to find a post of something I made in haste...but actual predictions....no.....especially in the upside down world we live in.

Doubt doesn’t make it so, and another point is, for those so confident in because Trump not winning, they should put their money where their mouth is.

I saw Obuma winning

He's still getting free press. You may be gloating that he's now getting bad press. Yeah he is but ever since he'd announced his run for the presidency he's always gotten bad press from the leftist media. Daily, many times daily. Since June 16, 2015 he's gotten bad press from the leftist media. Seems the only ones that the leftist media's bad press hurt was the left. The old saying is being proven..."there is no such thing as bad press". People like the underdog, they always have and always will.

Nope, I’m certainly not. You’ve been predicting for years that Dems were going to get him and that because Trump is going to prison, which has been wrong every time.

I’ve said all along he likely won’t run, but I won’t be surprised if he does, and that he loves the attention he gets from Dems living in fear of him winning again.

I’ll make a prediction iIf/when that time comes.

In other words, none of your predictions of him going to prison have been correct.
