Gamblers betting on 2016 run from Michael Bloomberg
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | February 15, 2016 | Chad Merda

Bloomberg and Romney aren't the only two people gamblers are betting on joining the 2016 mix. Vice President Joe Biden, who ruled out a run months ago, currently sits at 40-1
.

.
"I find the level of discourse and discussion distressingly banal and an outrage and an insult to the voters," Bloomberg said.

I can think of a lot more things insulting to voters. What has civil discourse produced the last 8 years?

I feel like if Bloomberg or Biden gets in it would be great for us. Each will siphon off tons of votes from the Dems from all the people who hate Hillary (which is roughly half of them) and the people who don’t want an outright self-declared socialist (which is the other half).

Seems like it would make our nominee the easy shoe-in.

Now, I really hope Mitt doesn’t get in. That could spell disaster. I wouldn’t put anything past the open borders cabal though.

I believe Hillary will be “convinced” by the DNC to pull out once the FBI investigation gets leaked or equally likely will continue to lose in the primaries to the point the super delegates can’t give her the nomination. Sanders is a guaranteed loser in November, but Democrats might still nominate him like they did McGovern in 1972

If he runs, it will doom the Democratic nominee.

I believe the nominee will not be Hitlary or Sanders. The DNC doesn’t want Sanders and Hitlary has too much baggage.

Gaffe-a-minute Joe, Fauxahauntas or Horseface will be the nominee.

This is a lose-lose for the dems. If Bernie is forced out by the DNC, a vast majority of his supporters will sit out in protest while the rest dutifully go and pull the lever for the D.

If Hitlary is forced out, it’s the same scenario. Dem turnout will be depressed and if Bloomy is in, the Republican is a shoe-in.

If however, Sanders is the nominee, it will piss off half the Dems, and absolutely ignite the right to get out and vote.

No matter how you roll the dice, it’s the Republican nominees race to lose.

“I can think of a lot more things insulting to voters.”

Yeah, and this arrogant little dwarf schmeckel is near the top of my list. He can shove his 16 ouz drinks and my Sig Sauer 229 where the sun doesn’t shine! He’s just a little copy of Lucifer with his idea that he can proscribe my personal choices.

Nothing would be more fun than to see Hillary lose the race to a Republican winning with a “Clintonian Plurality”

For anyone interested in a prediction engine based on "market" or "gambling" sources rather than polls, here is the place to go:

PredictWise

From that site, the 2016 Republican Nomination Prediction page

The researcher includes poll data but claims the betting data is more accurate in forming predictions.

If you want to influence those sources, you need to get onto:

Hypermind or PredictIt

"I can think of a lot more things insulting to voters."

First of all I think you meant 'can't.'"

Doesn't matter. Employing the perfect storm,the fatal combination of ignorance, arrogance, greed of our elected criminals is the underlying worst problem that we as a nation need to deal with, to utterly destroy.

The sooner the better.

Gamblers' behavior? That is embarrassingly silly. Childrens' reaction.

Seriously?
