I can see him dropping out next Tuesday when he fails to get anything in the West. Granted pass MO I don't know much about the Western Plains state demos. I know religious, but that can go to Trump or Cruz.

Bernie's next hold out I think we'll be seeing is the Washington caucuses. Going to keep taking Bernie Bro money.

My new darling buy is Cruz in Arizona. Running at 15-20 Cents. Closed primary, Mormon population, some evangelicals, latinos. He has been the only candidate on TV there. I think it is closer to a tossup.

Ehhh it's possible but I think that's a fair price. Lots of republicans love Trump here, and even Kasich has appeal.

Worth noting: 270,000 ballots already have been cast there. I do like your other factors listed in support of Cruz, though.

Has Trump won 50% of a state yet?

With Rubio out, I'm curious to see how things are going to wind up. Almost to the point of having TRUMP and one NOT TRUMP. I cannot imagine that there are a ton of Rubio voters with Trump second, but - who the hell knows?

I grabbed 100 of Hillary Yes HI last night at 32 and just flipped them for 54. I feel like there's going to be enough volume in that market to make incremental gains over the next few days.

I know AK went overwhelmingly for Obama but is 21-25c for Hillary reasonable? Closed caucus, so bonus to Hillary for Dems only, but also obviously a very white/working-class/anti-establishment state

Yeah after Sanders getting swept last night, you have to think momentum is as momentum does - and right now there are some skyhigh prices for Bernie YES in Alaska, Idaho, Utah, and Washington based on polls that came out pre-Tuesday beatdown.

I still think BROKERED.NO is a good buy. It's going to be very easy for Trump to start sweeping now that we're leaning heavily into winner-take-most/all states.

But doesn't he just have to lose one of those for his shot at an unbrokered convention dropping?

He only needs about half of the remaining delegates iirc. He can still lose plenty of states.

Do we know anything about the state further? I see an old poll from January with Clinton up 3. But I know there was also Cruz winning out over Trump...

He could get low–mid forties and still hit 1237 because of the non‐proportional nature of the remaining delegate allocation.

Yeah it's also worth keeping in mind that Trump doesn't even need to pass the 50% mark to avoid a brokered convention. If he's within a few percentage points they'll just give it to him anyways to avoid the party from imploding.

If it were anyone but Trump maybe, but the party leaders HATE him. At this point even more than they hate Ted "gently caress That Canadian gently caress" Cruz. If Trump doesn't have the full number of delegates needed they'll try and ratfuck him. Especially since Cruz and Kasich will be demanding a fight.

A brokered convention is still unlikely, but that's because with the winner take all states Trump will likely get the 59% or so of the remaining delegates he needs. If nothing else than off momentum.

There are some people on the right calling for a Garland vote, such luminaries as Ken Starr, but it might be enough to be able to flip the market for any confirmation on a SCOTUS nominee, which is currently at .40. I bought in at .32 this morning.

Not much going on right now, but I'd like to change that. I only have three or four long positions active right now. My portfolio has largely been low risk, no coinflips or lotto tickets. What positions are y'all building up for next Tuesday?

So about that AK poll...



Does anyone know if the AK Democratic party has new registration numbers up somewhere?

dangling pointer
Feb 12, 2010

I've got nothing for next Tuesday but have bought the cheap shares of Bernie NO in the states after that. I'm hoping Hillary's lead and momentum will raise her prices enough to make some good flips.


Also I'm not touching the Brokered market. There is a lot of time left and I think everyone is going to be doing everything they can to derail the Trump train before then. Who knows what crazy things will happen. However if I had to I would buy Brokered NO.

Found the numbers for my own question:

http://www.elections.alaska.gov/statistics/2016/JAN/vi_vrs_stats_party_2016.01.03.htm
This is from 1/3/16. Namely, at the bottom, it states 70249 Democrats.

http://www.elections.alaska.gov/statistics/2016/MAR/vi_vrs_stats_party_2016.03.04.htm
This is from 3/4/16. 70187 Democrats.

If the poll holds, it looks like there hasn't been a huge rush to register for Democrats in AK. Good news for Clinton?

Yeah but they think Trump heading the party will be even more devastating. It'd be a massacre electorally.

The GOPe thinks they can steal the nom from Trump and the Trump faction will fall in line and vote for Romney or whoever the gently caress. It's wishful thinking but hey it's worked every election so far.

Yes: 100%. However, there are apparently some absentee and overseas ballots outstanding. So the question was - with full reporting, but with absentee ballots in such a close vote, did PredictIt stick to the letter or spirit of the rules, I guess?

I'm more concerned with Bernie.NO down to 80 cents and I have about $4200 in liquid to dump here if I can take advantage of the facts, unfortunately it's impossible to gauge how people voted on absentee returns (or if it'll be enough to change things).
