This is simple. If some are so sure who has the momentum and will get the Republican convention, put your money (donation to FR) where your mouth is.

Personally, I would set this bet at $100 as fair game, but I think some are also suffering under the Obama “recovery” so I think a $40 bet in more fair.

Here would be the bet. Pick who you think will get the Republican nomination below by responding BET (name) in upper case. If your choice does NOT get the nomination then you donate $40 dollars to FreeRepublic.com support donation.

What do you say? This isn’t really gambling, just sort of a fun way to donate to Free Republic if you are wrong.

WHO WILL WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION? CHOOSE ONE NAME, NO SECOND CHANCES LATER. IF YOU ARE WRONG, YOU DONATE $40 DOLLARS TO FREE REPUBLIC:
Choices
BET TRUMP
BET CRUZ
BET KASICH
BET OTHER

Grampa Dave - this would probably be the only way to get him to donate to FR. Then again, he'd probably renege because that seems to be part of his character and the character of who he's all-in for.

I started out donating to Cruz until it became obvious that he was willing to "drift" from some of his stated ideals if it meant leveraging a situation or two and that Trump was the best chance we have of taking the WH - guys like Steelfish can't pry their mind off a direction once they have it embedded and the actual thought process no longer holds sway and they sure don't think that it's proper for them to have to pony up their own fair share - funny how so many claim to support a candidate who has conservative values while they exhibit none of the values they claim to support.....

PS - I donate $50 a month to FR (not a monthly donor with auto-pay, I hit the donate button each month) but will tell you now: Bet Trump - if I'm wrong, I'll donate an extra $50. If I'm right, I'll donate an extra $100. You can count on it.
