Seems strange to say that about an idea Trump came up with in a huff with Paul Ryan. But I think it's a good one. Arguably his only one? It's not a Trump idea. Term limits is an old idea that has been around for centuries. Presidents have been limited constitutionally to two terms since 1951. Governors are term limited in most states and many state legislatures have term limits too. Pressure groups have been campaigning for Congressional term limits for decades.

1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 There's a great show on Sky Atlantic that's documented the whole thing. US Circus election 2016 I think it's called. Trump getting a woman to say that Bill Clinton raped her just before the debate after the whole 'grabbing' leaked video of Trump is just utterly insane and I don't know how I've managed to miss it.

banana Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm not sure what 'over under' means but I'll happily put a charity bet on Clinton winning. £20? Bet on the % of popular vote between Clinton and Trump. Rather that whoever gets >50.0% wins, we set the winning line by mutual agreement based on what we think the final %s will be.E.g. I'll start the bidding at Trump getting 45.0% (i.e. Clinton 55.0%) of the 2-way popular vote. If he gets at least this %, I win the charity bet. You can now counter with a different %, which I can then also counter, until we reach betting agreement.If you're good to go, PM me your counter. We'll post the final bet back to this thread.

No, I'm looking at the current odds and polls and consistently offering a bet with those in mind. Fancy it? 45.0% Trump is my starting point. 1 hour ago, jmothecat said: You've lost me.
