Election pools

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Closest to correct names a charity for the losers to donate $25 to, honor system, keeping in mind that obnoxious charities will never really see a check. Losers can request an alternate. Deadline 10/25 11:59 pm.

1) Number of states that Hillary will win, including DC.
Me: 30

2) Number of electoral votes that Hillary will get.
Me: 358

3) Percent of the national vote that Hillary will get.

Yeah, the question is - How far will Trump implode?

Clarification: It is 3 separate pools. Y'all can enter 1, 2 or all 3 of them. You can also create new pools for folks to enter or not - e.g. Arpaio, Senate & House final seat tally, McCrory, Evan McMullin's tally in Utah, etc.

Arpaio should be in the cesspool

Yeah, well, he'll probably die soon. Many people say he's so mean he washes his ass first and then his face using the same wash cloth. Some people say he's so mean he sandpapers his balls in the radio room at the sheriff office.

19 states + DC and 1/2 of Maine

273 electoral (I hope she can pull it off)

Trump wins popular, but both are in the 46 - 47% range


Riots at 11

I set a deadline on being part of the bet, 10/25, since someone waiting longer would have an advantage. For example, my foolish projection was based on the theory that Trump would continue to slide and that voters would side with the clear and obvious winner.

Okay. I'm starting a new poll with the same criteria plus estimated time of riots it thumper loses to run through Friday midnight. We'll see if anyone else is scared that thumper may win

I'll pass on the election prediction, I'm already in the hole for $75.

I might consider joining the Trumpette riot pool, but you'll have to be more specific in your definition. In general, it's not a riot when white folks do it.

Sorry, I keep forgetting. It is a constitutional protest our immortal founding fathers will sing songs of appreciation about for hundreds of years

He said "charities."
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

No. It's for the orphans abandoned by parent(s) strung out on drugs.
