PredictWise: 2016 President - Republican Nomination
PredictWise ^ | 11-16-2015

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:50:41 PM PST by Citizen Zed

Marco Rubio 48%, Donald Trump 19%, Ted Cruz 13%, Jeb Bush 10%, Ben Carson 6%, Chris Christie 4%, John Kasich 1%...

Step 1: construct prices from the back, lay, and last transaction odds, in the Betfair/PredictIt order book. We take the average of the highest price traders are willing to buy a marginal share and the lowest price people are willing to sell a marginal share, unless the differential is too large or does not exist.

Step 2: correct for historical bias and increased uncertainty in constructed prices near $0 or $1. We raise all of the constructed prices to a pre-set value depending on the domain.

Step 3: normalized to equal 100% for any mutually exclusive set of outcomes.

Absolutely NOT.

Rubio is not ready for prime time. Too whiney.
Cruz is the more likely candidate to get there.
I wouldn’t put money against Trump
Dr. Carson just isn’t my favorite. He’s a brilliant surgeon, but that’s where my accolades end.

So, it looks like I don’t agree with any of your choices.

That is fabricated nonsense. Trump is at 42% and rising with the border crises. Rubio in an amnesty freak. He is on the wrong side of the conservatives. With his horrible credit card theft he is totally finished. Rubio in RINIO. He isn’t wort spit.

Agreed

And it should be noted, 42% with his younger, Cuban clone Ted Cruz in the race. I think that if you asked Cruz supporters most of them would have Trump as their second choice.

If The Donald gets to consistently above 50% by January the nominations locked up.

That needs to happen so that he can turn his gun on the HiliaB*tch

This is one Ted Cruz supporter who would NOT have Trump as my second choice. 5th or 6th perhaps, but not second. Just no.
