2020 US Election

Trump acquitted at his Senate trial so he's now free to run in 2024 (provided he doesnt end up in prison). PP dropped their odds from 10/1 to 9/1 this evening. I wouldnt tie up money on it now but 9/1 is a great price for something that could genuinely happen, Americans love a comeback story and he fits the mould perfectly now.

He's obese and will be 78 years old in 2024. From a health point of view I'd be surprised if he's a runner tbh.

He's made a fortune from a large amount of easily manipulated people. His job is done.

What makes you could say it could genuinely happen? If he couldn't do it on the back of 4 years in the job, why do you think he will do it now?

Because it will be a completely different race in 2024, there will be no coronavirus, no BLM protests like there was during the campaign just gone. Biden isnt going to heal anything and the divide and anger thats in the US now will still be there in 2024. A lot of it is racial and the presumptive Dem nominee Kamala Harris is not going to have an easy time of it as a lot of people will come out to specifically vote against her, just like they did for Hillary. To be clear though Im not saying Trump is going to run but if he does he is still in with a shout. The conditions for him to win are still present, sure huge amounts of the Republican voters genuinely believe the election was stolen,thats a huge motivator for them to get out and right 'the wrong'. It will only take the flipping of Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan to hand the White House back to the Reps, it was such a close election that this is not an impossible task.

In any case I put a few quid on Pompeo last week. Found him too hard to resist at 40/1 as it is known he would like a crack at it and he could be the Trump nominee. He has a lot of the credentials needed to run and Id see him as a better pick than Pence or Haley, neither of which will appeal to the Trump wing of the party whereas Pompeo does.

@Rjd2 where did you get 100/1 on de Santis, PP are only offering 25/1

I took the 100/1 with coral a good few weeks ago for Ron D.
Plenty of time obviously and the big fear for him he is not a great debater and Florida will be very messy as so many will have their eye on running.

Ric Scott dislikes him and has **** you money for example.

So while I am happy with the 100/1,,,I would not touch him at 25/1 even with stolen money.


I backed Harris a few years ago at 33/1 for 2020, got quite excited around the first debate and then it went all a bit Pete Tong.

Right how Hailey's campaign feels very similar to that of Jeb and Harris, the donor's love her but I just don't think she will be able to connect with the voting base.

People dislike insincerity (unless you are Trump who can fake it ) and she doesn't have his acting chops so her trying to keep Trumpers and the never trumpers happy just won't work.

How anyone can back her at 12/1 -16/1 is a mystery.

I'm skeptical of Big Mike, but need to see how he does on the debate stage before totally writing him off.

Also should add expect Matt Gaetz to at least consider running who is also from Florida.

Their is 3 depressing facts about him running...

A He is awful
B He will raise a lot of money from gullible Trump voters despite not having a prayer...
C He probably will be the only person on the stage whose foreign policy won't be "American exceptionalism for all" :P

Yeah so going to be a ****show Florida.:D
