  1. There’s still almost 90 days and anything can happen. The democrats have great momentum (and Trump has great downward momentum) but both of these need to keep up and PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE.

  2. Fucking duh. There’s no way he wins. An overwhelming majority of voters from all over the political spectrum have been quite vocal about how they want literally anyone other than Trump or Biden, anyone who isn’t a senior citizen.

    Well, one party gave them that.

    The other is sticking with their unpopular old man.

  3. He was never going to win, although now that I see this I hate that I have never actually bet on an election in my life

  4. The fact he WAS the betting favorite, anywhere, is a fucking embarrassment for this country. Honestly, I’m still embarrassed to be American today. This is ridiculous.

  5. Tralfalgar group polls thinks he’s gonna win….of course p

  6. >Nikki Haley: “The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election.”

  7. It’s equal parts disappointing and fun that this election will probably be decided by folks who care more about vibes than policy.

    So let’s just enjoy the fact that calling Donold a loser over and over is gonna help our chances. Fuckin loser.

  8. Insane that he was at any point. The idea that swing voters, who voted for Biden in 2020, would switch to a guy who is now a convicted felon and whose brain is literally melting in front of the world in real-time.

    How in the hell did Trump become more appealing after 4 years of endless lying, stupidity, and criminality?

  10. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/aug/09/donald-trump-no-longer-betting-favorite-to-win-ele/) reduced by 78%. (I’m a bot)

    > LAS VEGAS – Former President Donald Trump is no longer the betting favorite to win the election.

    > "Kamala Harris maintained her new status as favorite to be the next U.S. president for the second day running, but the odds difference between her and Donald Trump remains miniscule and liable to change at any moment," Betfair Exchange political betting expert Paul Krishnamurty posted Friday.

    > A positive number represents how much a bettor would win on a $100 wager, meaning a bettor would win $100 on a $100 bet on Trump to win the election.

  11. Hoping the DNC and her platform are able to keep up the momentum.

  13. No one, outside of the Heritage foundation, wants JD for president and not enough voters want Trump as POTUS.

    The Grand Old Party is no more.

  14. Amazing how every state Harris and Walz goes to turns blue in the polls.

    Please visit Texas and Florida more…make a stop in North Carolina, Ohio and keep going to Georgia even though the GOP there has serious plans to overturn things if they lose.

    Less than 3 months. It will be tiring, but it will be worth it.

  15. They don’t comprehend how unpopular he is. They don’t understand that, while 2016 was a big win for them, they also taught democrats they can’t just sit out and take a win for granted. Democrats just needed someone with a pulse.

    And hopefully democrats now see that they can’t just rely on the opponent’s unpopularity. They have the potential to string a series of elections together as republicans go through an identity crisis.

  16. Sadly even if this keeps going well and 🍑🍑 loses again, I have no confidence that he won’t keep his stranglehold over the GOP and be back again in 2028 with a more entrenched line of personal attacks against Harris. He’s never going to stop running for that second term until he either gets it or dies, and Repubs will never have the courage to stand up to his bullying as a group and put him out to pasture. And the right wing media machine will help him every chance it gets.

    Keep up the good fight, folks, the only way forward is through this. Never give him that second term.

  17. Trump -110
    Harris -110
    M. Obama – +6600
    RFK Jr. – +6600
    Hillary Clinton – +8000
    JD Vance – +8000
    N. Haley – +8000
    Gavin Newsome – +10000

  19. If you believe Oath keepers, Proud Boys, Neo Nazis and the KKK are legitimate organizations, by all means support Trump.

  21. Anyone that watched his latest presser should be able to see Trump is flailing. He’s never looked so old and weak. He doesn’t have the energy to keep up with Kamala. She just did 7 states in 5 days… He’s doing one in 7 days.

  23. I mean, Trump was a massive betting favorite on election night in 2020 after Florida went (expectedly) red. So I learned a long time ago that betting markets are a bad read of actual outcomes.

  25. Biden stepping down did something to the psychology. If we win whoever writes the history needs to write about wtf happened when Biden decided to step down

  26. Still need to be prepared for the republicans refusing to certify. What is the plan?

  27. He erred after the debate by thinking he’s already won and chose Vance. Vance is less likely to sway the undecided and moderate, even make them more hesitant. Then Biden dropped out and that choice became worse. It’s slim now but if Harris can outmaneuver Trump in the debate it will sway a lot of voters to her side. Trump likely has nothing new to debate either. That’s why he instead focused on making Biden stumble in the first debate. That tactic won’t work on Harris.

  28. Was he ever? Not in my book of politics he wasn’t. Everyone forgets that Donald Trump’s worst enemy is Donald Trump.

  31. Don’t get comfortable with any good news until the orange asshat is gone. Vote!

  33. Doesn’t matter. Still go out and vote. Do not get complacent.

    Same thing in 2016 when they thought Hillary would win.

  35. Still, organize like hell all the way up to Election Day

  36. Vegas odds are a way better indicator than any polling, but it’s fucking terrifying she’s only just taken the odds.

  37. Think about this, this could be donald trumps last election and we never have to hear from him ever again. Make sure you vote!

  38. Does it make me a bad American to revel in the joy of knowing that this pisses Trump off so much?

  42. He’s too old and weird. Time for a new generation.
