The Cubs Have A Smaller Chance Of Winning Than Trump Does
Five Thirty Eight ^ | Oct 30, 2016 at 7:53 AM | Rob Arthur

It will be hard for the Cubs to come back from this 3-1 deficit. As the Cavaliers taught us earlier this year, a 3-1 lead isn’t insurmountable, but Elo rates the Cubs’ the total chance of winning the Series at a measly 15 percent. (That’s a smaller chance than FiveThirtyEight’s election forecast model currently gives Donald Trump to win the White House.) But if Chicago is going to have any chance of a Series win, they’ll have to awaken their bats in Sunday’s game.

Trump is up 5 runs and Walter Johnson is coming in to pitch the ninth.

I find that interesting, since I read elsewhere that the possibility of a Trump win was depressing the peso. Which one is it?

“Trump will win.”

Yes he will, and not because of any “parallel” with the Cubs winning the world series. This comparison is about the nuttiest thing I’ve seen posted. Some of you need to enter therapy! You remind me of an employee of mine back when OJ Simpson was on trial. He said that “OJ could not have killed his wife and Ron Goldman because he was a “sports figure.”” That’s nuts too!

Whenever the Cubs win the World Series, the Republicans win the next Presidential election.
