Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[madbluboy]

MBB, you know that Comey has already cleared her over the emails on the Weiner laptop, don't you?  What a clusterfork that was. 

It certainly was when Loretta Lynch has a secret meeting with Bill Clinton on his private jet in the days leading up to it.

Geez I think Hilary will still win, but..... She has to take Virginia  or Florida. Now predictions that Michigan is a good chance of going Trump. This could be compared to Brexit or to Victoria turfing Kennett in that people are just so pissed of they are voting with anger.

I think in the next hour or two it should be much clearer who is going to get this.

gold has surged in the last 30 minutes - up 3% - this suggests a Trump win.

It keeps going Trump, geez, he would have to be very close to the favorite now and a few areas are calling it as going to Trump

I said to be thinking  Gold last week...if Trump gets up plenty of share traders will be delighted....not so good for the rest of the ASX though...

Betfair now has trump at 1.25 and Clinton at $5

Counting proceeds as the sun sets so that is pretty good odds to be offering against Clinton given the Seaboard East/Western US states are normally Democrat while Middle America is normally GOP.

To me this looks very close at this stage!

Wow!

There was a guy on SEN phone-in earlier, an Aussie, who has traveled widely in the US in the past few years. He was tipping a Trump win based on the huge levels of deprivation and dissatisfaction he claimed to have witnessed. Maybe he has got it right?

The fact that the western seaboard is Dem is already factored in, though.  The problem is that Trump is leading in many battleground states on the other side of the country such as Florida and Ohio and seems poised to win the Democratic states of Michigan and Wisconsin.  He can now win without winning Pennsylvania.  If he holds onto Florida as well as adding Michigan and Wisconsin, he is the favourite to win.

Both of which will only worsen under Trump.
