Fox business ^ | 08/21/2024 | Breck Dumas

Former President Trump has surged ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in at least one betting market after receiving a surprise boost as the Democratic National Convention (DNC) continues in Chicago.

Trump, who was surpassed by Harris in the prediction markets a week ago, has regained his position as the frontrunner on PolyMarket, where traders on Wednesday gave him a 52% chance of winning the 2024 presidential election.

Harris' odds dropped to 47%. Last week, the site had Harris beating Trump, 51% to 46%.

Clinton looks over the hill. He should join Biden and step aside.

It’s pretty standard for a Convention to provide a candidate a bit of a bounce in their popularity.

In this case, to know her and bet on her is to lose money.

The only position that consistently is talked about by the speakers besides bashing Trump is being pro-abortion.

They have no other positions and no policy successes to stand upon.

Her plan to implement price controls on food should have ended her chance of the presidency on the spot.

Unfortunately, there are too many economic illiterates out there that have no understanding of exactly what price controls mean: shortages, empty shelves, lines outside of grocery stores, store closures.

They only hear “greedy grocery stores” are “price gouging” people - and believe it - the average profit margin at a “greedy” grocery store is ≈ 1.6 %.

They are in for a whole new level of pain - which they deserve, the rest of us don’t.

Yeah, reminds me of all the “joy” in North Korea or Communist China during Mao’s reign.

You HAD to show joy not to get a bullet in the back of your head.

If by everybody you mean the MSM, I haven't seen that.

At this moment as I post in real time, the RCP aggregate is tied. My guess is, the proverbial wind will blow back and forth for a while.

Betting Odds - 2024 U.S. President

Heels up “joy” is a 25% unrealized gain tax.
THIS is the sliver bullet they will try to use to totally annihilate what’s left of a capitalist USA in order to replace it with a Maduro-type dictatorship government. THIS atrocity will destroy every single retirement plan, every piece of home ownership, every piece of any kind of property ownership, etc.
Indeed, it will destroy the economy on a massive scale.
THIS is outright communism on a massive scale.
THiS is legalized theft beyond measure.

Kommie Kamabla’s comments on price fixing was just too much for even much of the dems, WaPo, NYT and many others as they are ranting out just a couple days before the rat’s convention started.

Jeff Bezos is not an idiot. Yes, he's a Democrat. But I would guess he'll prefer somebody like RFK Jr as the POTUS. He's filthy rich. Communism is bad for business.

Bezos won't admit it but will he vote for Trump? I can see that happening.

The reason I'm talking about Bezos is because he's the owner of WaPo.
