Forget the American electorate. Donald Trump’s biggest fan may be a British businessman who likes to play the odds.
John Mappin, a media investor who owns Camelot Castle in Cornwall, has placed more than 15 wagers, totaling more than 2,000 pounds ($3,100), that Trump will secure the Republican presidential nomination, if not win the presidential election outright. Depending on the type of bet (nomination or presidential victory) — and the odds at the time it was placed — the payoffs range from 7-to-1 to more than 30-to-1. If Trump indeed becomes president and Mappin wins every bet he’s made, he stands to collect at least 40,000 pounds ($62,000).
Despite what a lot of experts say, Mappin is convinced that the billionaire entrepreneur is no political long shot.

Its not a bet I would make.

A multimillionaire wagered just $3,100? That’s nothing.
His biggest fans are those who now put Trump within 6 points of Hillary. And, thats way before the general election.
I continue to be dumbfounded as to what kind of person is attracted to Hillary as a candidate.
Granted people will differ on the issues of ideology but I find her appearance and demeanor to be repellent.
Those kind of personal character traits that are more or less universal to human interpersonal contacts make Hillary simply unelectable in my opinion.
She is just has an artificial and wooden personality that makes her seem like she is hiding something and lying whenever she makes an appearance.
Perhaps that is why her staff is hiding her away from the press so much.
I continue to be dumbfounded as to what kind of person is attracted to Hillary, Trump, & Jeb as candidates.
...I continue to be dumbfounded as to what kind of person is attracted to Hillary...
It will soon be those also serving two to twenty at a Federal correctional facility. Unless she gets probation. Then she can still get elected/appointed to some Democrat position of power.

There ya go.
Not with a felony conviction.
Well maybe she could be a Czar of something since they officially do not hold an office and do not get approved by the senate.
Trump will win the Xenu endorsement!You seem to know a lot about it
Which one do you hope will doom Trump? The fan is a scientologist? Or the fact the fan lives in/owns a castle?
Maybe they'll work on a national sales tax plan to replace the income tax...Scientologists were all about NRST until they got bought off by the IRS with tax exemptions to shut them up.
Like it or not, Trump doesn't belong in that sentence.
That said, GO CRUZ!!!
I don’t skinny up to Hillary and Jeb but I do for Trump as a wave maker who at least is putting forth many thoughts of many persons like myself. As to my type of person I am an overseas vet of WWII whose only brother was killed in the fighting for Okinawa. I am a person whose parents migrated to this Country from Russia because they believed that the US offered opportunity for a better family living. I am a person who used my GI benefits to get an education at the most renowned public university in the world. I am a person who used the opportunities afforded to me to provide a comfortable living for my family. I am a person who believes the Founders of this Nation intended and indeed made it a shining beacon for life for those that had faith and effort to carry on the Founder’s thoughts and dreams.
