This thread is about betting on US Politics. Not talking about which politics are good and which are bad.

Bet365 has odds for the democrat and republic nomination.

I think Hillary is a lock for the democrats, the odds agree as she is 1.30 to 1.

I want to bet on the Republican Prez Nominee so I have a reason to watch american news, lol. After watching Veep and Scandal, I am so intrigued by american primaries.

The odds

Jeb Bush 3.25
Marco Rubio 4.5
Scott Walker 5
Rand Paul 8
Chris Christie 8
Ted Cruz 13
Mike Huckabee 18
Rick Perry 19

Not listing the rest bc I think they have no chance.



I am thinking about putting my money on Marco Rubio. I think he should be the favourite over Jeb Bush.

Especially if Hillary gets the nomination, I think the Republicans best counter would be a young, fast-tracking, cuban boy!

I know nothing about US Politics, but just from a pure aesthetic view, I think this Rubio kid (he's 44), would be their best counter to Hillary. He isn't an old white guy. He's an ethnic young guy.

Any thoughts? Or am I just a degen?

So sick that it could be Bush vs Clinton..

Arent there any other families

Walker is over valued. Cruz might be undervalued for the long shots. I'd probably pound bush, but that seems like a public play

I want Cruz to win. It is my wife's maiden name

[Untilted]

It's between Bush and Rubio. Paul has no shot. Walker I would put at best, 10-1. Christie would be a factor if he could put his baggage behind him but a lot of news outlets have it out for him so I don't see it happening
Everyone else is dead in the water. Huckabee listed 18-1 is more like 1800-1. Same for Cruz. Pragmatically, I guy like Cruz could get the Nom but he will get killed in the general election and the RNC knows this so he has less of a shot than it seems

but his Father was a Nazi sympathizer so he probably should have had his citizenship revoked and been deported so he easily could have been not a Canadian

Really? They never taught me that when I moved here. Pierre Elliott was a hero, I was told.

Young Trudeau: Fascist, anti-Semite, and separatist

A new biography of the former prime minister, whom Canadians have long been taught to regard as a great liberal politician, reveals that as a youth and young man, Mr. Trudeau was an anti-Semite, admired fascist dictators such as Hitler and Mussolini, promoted revolution and longed for an independent and Catholic Quebec that would be home only to francophones.
