I made bets that he would win in the primary and the general a year ahead of time. I won over $1200, my nephew won about $15K doing the same.
My never trump friend thought trump could not win because he was not a slick politician who was a perfect debate champion like Cruz. He had a mental requirement that the candidate must fit this mold of having a slick rehearsed answer for everything.
I KNEW Trump would win because he was an outsider and I knew he is a man who loves America, so whatever he did in office, he would probably get it right 85% of the time which is better than we would get with any other candidate!
Wow, Paddy Power? Cha-ching!
