US Presidential Election 2016

[Euler]

Just watching the debate, I think Trump comes across as a bit of a ranter and chancer with facts, where Clinton was diplomatic and showed some real depth of knowledge.

That was painful to watch. Trump looked really weak without crowds of xenophobes and idiots cheering him on

Trump started strong and lost control and focus as the 90 mins progressed. As expected.

Yanks often only watch the first 30mins of this type of 'show' so not suprisingly Trump shortened one or two ticks.

... bit of a late night for about 6 quid...in at 3.4, out at 3.3, but that's a trader's life i'd have watched it anyway so that's ok.

This US election has been a frame-by-frame replay of Brexit.
A clown vs the untrustworthy....be warned, the general public would rather have a 'straight-talking' clown than someone they don't trust, because Joe Public doesn't understand politics.

My emphasis shifted to backing Trump after Brexit similar reasons.

The markets say that Clinton edged it- the net result is a slight drift for Trump.

Clinton's a weak candidate, but so is Trump. I wouldn't put my money on Trump at this point. You have to think that Clinton has the numbers and the momentum to win.

I won't be letting this go 'suspended' so financially I don't really care who wins.
I just wish I'd had a LOT more on Mr Tiny Hands at double digits.

Trump in melt-down again in the polls, his market odds blowing out to over 4.00.

Trump just can't seem to stay out of trouble and I'm sure he's having everyone on. He doesn't want the presidency, he just wants to see how many crazy things he can get away with while having some fun.

Looks like the Julian Assange Clinton assault is still going ahead next Tuesday. Topped up my Clinton lay by taking all the 1.39. http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/10/0 ... -concerns/

Nice slow drift to 1.43 where I've taken 30% out. Also had a nibble on Joe Biden at 100.

The market doesn't seem too concerned about anything he has to say. I was expecting a slight drift on Clinton in anticipation of a potential disaster for her

I tuned in in case he dropped any major bombshells but it was in honesty an hour or so of my life I will never get back . Trolled into watching a narcissists book launch .

[Euler]

I watched for a few mins then switched off, Trump drifted a bit on the basis nothing was really said.

[Zenyatta]

Trump's odds on the drift.

I saw this coming, because I knew the media was holding on to a lot of dirt on Trump, and they were waiting to dish the worst dirt close to the election.

Trump is toast.
