    • Sen. Elizabeth Warren 8/1
    • Michelle Obama 14/1
    • Sen. Cory Booker 20/1
    • Sen. Bernie Sanders 20/1
    • Former Vice President Joe Biden 22/1
    • Hillary Clinton 28/1
    • Speaker Paul Ryan 28/1
    • Rep. Julian Castro 33/1

    I'm not big on gambling, but I'm pretty sure you're misinterpreting what those odds mean. It seems to be saying that they're pretty confident the winner of the 2020 election will *not* be Trump. The obvious problem is that we don't know who the Democratic candidate will be.

    With everything that's gone on, as well as blindly pulling out of important agreements, one would have to be a special kind of dense to even think about re-electing Trump. Or have Americans become so intellectually deprived that they will buy Mexico will still pay for the wall?

    And Trump has done what to make America great again?

    Do you, or do you not care if someone is above the law or not? You sure were concerned about it when Hillary was running, but Trump can't do wrong, can he? Conservatism is a special kind of hypocrisy, going back to the days of Bush Jr. Conservative principles are outdated, and anything outdated means its bad for America-inherently. You're feeding the baby with HIV by standing by Trump, Ryan, or McConnell. I'd sure like to believe conservatives aren't as dense as they have been acting lately.

    No, that's not what they are saying. Read it again.

    I doubt Bloomberg will vote for Trump. But that doesn't change up his thinking that Trump will roll to re-election.

    Moreover.....Bloomberg doesn't think Mexico will pay for a wall. But then you can call him dense. After all, he did go for the tax on the Big Gulps.

    Meh, they did the same thing with your Special Man BO peep in 2008 saying he would win re-election in 2012. Naturally you lefties didn't think it was to early back then. But now you do. Imagine that.

    Michael Bloomberg said that he thinks Trump will win in 2020 during a televised interview. Bloomberg's at least pragmatic, liberals in general are out in left field. Claiming the $30 mil GA race is a moral victory? Get real.

    Jimmy Carter was the last incumbent to lose a re-election bid.

    By 2020 that will have been 40 years ago.

    It is inevitable that oddsmakers would have the sitting POTUS as an early fave.

    Still, WAY too early.

    By 2020, Trump could be gone or have blown up the world.

    I'm surprised Ryan isn't higher up on that list. I still think he's going to try and hijack 2020

    There's a list almost as long as this one about what isn't working for the Dims.
    1. Phony War on Women
    2. Occupy Wall Street.
    3. Call for a recount.
    4. Hope the electoral college revolts against DT.
    5. Issuing black magic spells.
    6. It's the Russians.
    7. Fixing the election for Hillary.
    8. Racist Racist Racist Racist Racist to infinity. The word no longer means anything since the Dims have used it so often. It now falls on deaf ears.
    9. Wearing vagina costumes. You know people take you seriously when you dress up like a vagina.
    10. Riots and the destruction of property.
    11. Attempted murder.
    12. One of my favorites - pandering for votes with a bottle of hot sauce in your purse. Now there's a reason to vote for you. At least she's not cackling anymore.
    13. Alienating the white middle class. I don't know why that didn't work - they love to be called names.
    14. Pretending to cut off the presidents head-didn't see that backfire coming.
    15. I think Clinton could have won if Madonna hadn't threatened the male electorate with blow jobs. No thanks Madonna.

    I was using a metaphor for conservatism poisoning America. This Karen person attacked Ossoff much more than Ossoff did. With unverifiable claims like Ossoff was hired by Nancy Pelosi or hated America. Ossoff's message wasn't even that much Anti-Trump. But this was a solid red district, so hoping Ossoff would win would be like Hillary winning Arizona. So I'm not too surprised. And you have that congressman newly elected from Montana who's been convicted of assault for body-slamming that journalist going to be sworn in. We should have seen from eight years o Bush that conservatism is naturally unhealthy for America.

    Mexico paying for a homegrown expense I've said since day one of the 2016 campaign is a fairy tale. Let's try critical thinking for a moment. Why would Mexico pay for something that would hurt their people, while damaging the relationship between the US and Mexico? Especially after Trump made that foolish threat against GM nd tariffs. There's no reason for the Mexican president to comply with Trump, Have you or have you not seen the report that taxpayers will be picking up the tab for the wall?

    What does that deflection have to do with Bloomberg thinking Trump will roll Right into re-election. Or that Gamblers think Trump will too?

    I doubt they are looking at just what Trump said about the wall.

    I just made my case why Bloomberg, and the gamblers, will be wrong for describing how conservatism, more specifically the far-right conservatism Trump stands for, won't hold water in 2020. Certainly not if people vote with their heads, and not with their emotions unlike what happened last year. I think you guys are able to handle that change, right?

    One issue huh.....what about the issue of the Demos not having a platform other than resist Trump. I'm sure more voters will see that one issue taken up by the left and weigh it in respect to Trumps wall, and it will have way more impact and just wont give the Demos any favorable outcome.

    The Democratic agenda is already being seen for 2020. It's rebuilding the global relationship we have with other coutnries that Trump is destroying. That means finding fair ground to rejoin the Paris Agreement, as well as the same for something similar to the Trans Pacific Partnership, both of which Trump blindly pulled out of, putting his interests before America's to have a "pat on the back" accomplishment. So a globalist platform is what the Democrats need, and the urge to define globalism in a light that when the world benefits, America benefits. I refer people back to the French election of Macron when people are more intelligent than to let leaks convince them, logic ultimately prevails. The problem is sources like WikiLeaks ultimately polarized too many people, the emotions got heated, and people voted for Trump is for nothing more than to balance out emotion.

    The case that isolationism and furthermore, conservatism are both harmful to America needs to be conveyed, and as last nights election in Georgia proved, it needs to be conveyed better, going beyond Trump as much as he's already become a strawman for the people who are awake, and snapped out of the trance his supporters are in.

    Actually, George HW Bush was the last incumbent to lose a re-election bid.

    Yeah.

    Sorry about that.

    EDIT: I did forget HW.

    Sometimes imbeciles who are footnotes to history leave my radar.

    If they are betting big money the answer is yes. If they are just betting for fun like most of us do on sports then of course it is a differeft matter. But anyone who thinks the odds that result from betting this far in advance really are any indication of anything other than where people put their play money really is grasping at straws to put it gently.

    And then of course there is the stupidity of tying up money for that long a time.
