Yeah. He had a two-minute lead at the last break, then a whole buncha more Trump happened with time on the clock running out.

Six minute lead now. Trump!

I'm thinking about buying Huckabee for VP (4c) and flipping after he endorses Trump. Don't know when that will be, but he's basically pro-Trump already and his daughter works for his campaign.

Would it be a good bet to flip Carson for VP tomorrow after the endorsement? It already rose to 11c so I don't know if it'll go much further.

Edit: Maybe Huck is a bad bet: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/huckabee-hearts-trump#.neQmdZ1mo

Since dropping out, Huckabee hasn’t officially endorsed Trump, but that’s mainly because doing so would complicate his efforts to get a new contract at Fox News, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

I have a $750 bet against him there, and yeah, the only concern is a four-way split that he somehow ekes a win out of out. The closest thing we have so far are the results from Arlington, VA, and Trump hardly received any support there (sub-20% iirc).

i do think trump yes in dc will go up after tonight so it may be best to hold off and buy trump no later. i also wonder how many of the establishment republicans live in arlington and nova vs live in dc. i imagine the r's in dc are by and large rich, and i'm not sure which way they lean in general

In 2012 Romney scored 70% of the support available in DC. Ron Paul was second with 12%. Gingrich (the closest thing to Trump???) received 11%.

In 2008, McCain won with 67.6% support. Huckabee was second with 16%.

I wouldn't expect Trump to win DC, but I wouldn't ... underestimate him, either. It's basically a crapshoot. (Betting no on Cruz might be safer, because he's just outright anti-government.) There's anecdotal evidence that Trump has support in the city, but it's quiet and they don't like to talk openly about it.

Another thing is that I don't think DC Republicans are so much this stereotype of rich, cocktail party Republicans. They exist, for sure, but it's largely more overworked office bureaucrats who hate their jobs.

At least that's my experience with DC people I've known.

Just checking in to add my name to the people who got killed by the Michigan Democratic primary. RIP, much of my PredictIt balance! I bailed on about 30% of what I had in there - I was not going to be able to access the site from about 9:15 pm to 11:15 pm, and decided that was about what I was willing to risk when it still looked like the outstanding cities might give Hillary the win. Oh well - it's been fun, and I still have a couple hundred dollars in there to continue having fun with.

I'd argue that who the gently caress shows up for a straw poll 10 days before the primary, but then who the gently caress shows up for the DC convention? The territories get to pretend like they count in the primaries, but if you live in DC you're 24/7 reminded that you don't count for poo poo when it comes to federal elections.
