Suppose you were offered either a $5 bill, guaranteed genuine, or a $100 bill that had a 20% chance of being counterfeit. Which bill would you take?
I'd take my chances on the $100 bill. And that's why I'm supporting Trump.
Trump/Cruz 2016 works for me.
Statistically speaking....
$100 x 80% = $80
$80 > $5, so yes, take the potentially fake $100 instead.
Right!
Cruz out getting the job done like we know he knows how. Trump in the whitehouse taking the heat the way he does it best.
I'm a math person, I that's one way I looked at it!
So Trump is handing out counterfeit money?
Holy crap, get some pictures, contact Smegyn Kelly!
If I haven’t earned it. Neither one.
Yep, that’s positive EV (expected value) bet, as a poker pro would say.
He loves the country. He wants to encourage people.
These two things alone make him a YUGE improvement over the current WH resident.
Trump/Cruz 2016!
I’d take the $100 because with my luck I’d get the fake.
Then I’d donate it to Hillary Clinton and tell her Secret Service detail she’s got two bogus bills.
take the hun in a second and immediately go buy some groceries beer and wine.......
Some of us won't take the best of a bad situation.
I have a chance to vote for a real conservative instead of a fake conservative. I'll vote for the real conservative even if it means not winning the seat.
Good try... No sale.

LOL, that's the way the MSM would spin my hypothetical.
Megyn: Mr. Trump, the internet is buzzing about your involvement in a possible counterfeit currency scheme.
Trump: Megyn, I didn't think you could ask a question that was even stupider than the one you asked in the last debate. You have proven me wrong.
Depends if there was a beer-o-crap watching me, if there was one it wouldn’t matter if the 100 was a counterfeit they would tax me for it anyways....
And probably throw me in the klink if it was a counterfeit, or they would arrest the 100 dollar bill under civil asset forfeiture laws....
I would walk away.
really ... take a walk on the wild side just pretend....what would you do.
Are you kidding me? I don’t use MY cash for beer and wine. That’s what my EBT card is for. And sometimes lobster.
Ah, but finish the exercise.
What if you didn’t know the $100 bill was counterfeit until you tried to spend it? And, spending it would result in 10-20 in the hoosegow?
Now, how good does it look?
got to unload that fake one fast,get it into the fake system
your talking as if the avg convince store,Publix Winn dixie where ever would pick up on it..It would make it back to the Armored company’s vault,get counted credited wrapped up and be on the street in 48
I respect that. If I could somehow pick the next president, I'd go with Cruz. But unfortunately Cruz just doesn't have the pizazz (yet) to capture the swing voters, the Reagan democrats if you will.
I just don't see Cruz beating Hillary (or her last-minute replacement).
I actually considered that when framing my original question. But in most cases when a person tries to spend a counterfeit bill, the bill is simply confiscated by the clerk and that's the end of the story.
