Two good lay opportunities gone, first Trump, then Biden.
So you're not including Kamala as a good lay opportunity?! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't think I've ever made a profit on a political market, but no, not at 5.6. Trump is a lay, I would rather back Biden than lay him at his current price. Same with Newsom, in fact, couple Biden & Newsom. :)

The future of the US is now in the hands of Jill Biden. Surely only she can persuade him to throw in the towel.
Looks like I got that wrong. He now declares himself a religious nutcase and says only the Lord Almighty can stop him from running for presidency. Is he talking about getting struck down or a telephone call/sign?

There is actually evidence that Old Joe is a racist if you study his past.

This is a sad moment imo

Could have been a coincidence. He needs to skip more than one black person to amount to evidence, but that was still very rude and a poor showing.

It's that moment where you have to tell a member of the family they are better off in assisted care.

Time to lay Trump, I think. This can't go on much longer. Even if Biden did win the presidency, he wouldn't last more than a few weeks. He would easily be ousted on the capacity to be president rules.

Biden down to 8.6. He says he's not backing down unless the lord almighty, whoever that is, personally visits him, but there is talk that he could step down and allow Harris to become president and choose her running mate.

Money coming for Sleepy now, I think he should be 1.5ish, there's no real desire to get rid of him and he ain't stepping down.

Old Joe is as determined to go on as Margaret Thatcher was in late 1990 but like Maggie its not up to him, its up to his party and if they show moral courage like Maggie's cabinet did back then he will be

OUT!

NEW: In a letter to congressional Democrats, @JoeBiden says, “I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump.”

He notes he had three primary opponents and “One fared so badly that he left the primaries to run as an independent.”

“Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say?”

That middle part is very Trumpy isn’t it. But it’s clear he’s staying in the race, this should probably scare a few off and he’s already been backed by more than oppose him. The DNC convention is still 6 weeks away but I wouldn’t want to have been laying him at 3+ as he’s probably a 1.3-4 shot now.

Do you really think he can beat Trump? He might not even live until inauguration day. :lol:
