    IF Trump wins it will be a repeat of 2016. He will lose the popular vote and manage to cobble together enough states many by small margins to win an Electoral College majority.

    It was just a locker room grope.

    What a moron. Trump won by 1.3 last time. And NC has the worst Republican gubernatorial candidate of all time, who's down 15 in the polls, and who will likely reduce Repub turnout and increase Dem turnout. There's no way Trump wins NC by 7.

    I put my money where my mouth is. We'll see who's right soon enough. People like you will make me a lot of money this election. Well into 6 figures. The guy running for governor will not affect Trump's vote total

    Well I will bet you on NC. If Trump wins NC by 7 points or more, I'll leave Too Hot forever. If he wins by less than 7, you leave forever. Deal?

    The response will be some variation of "fake news".

    "7.0" is merely occupying the median position of possible results on a bell curve distribution. Could be lower or higher. Florida, Texas and Ohio should be +11 Trump. North Carolina is +7 Trump in my opinion. Let's do this. If Trump wins by 5.0 or more you pay me $100. If Trump wins by 3.0 or less I pay you $100. If Harris wins or Trump wins by less than 1.5 I pay you $300.

    You said 7 points, so why are you trying to change it to 5 now? And I'm not going to bet you money. I don't trust you to pay up and I don't want to find a neutral party to hold our money until the election. Simple bet. 7 points. If Trump doesn't win NC by at least 7 you leave TH forever. Easy and verifiable. If we see a new poster pop up and start spamming the board with Russian propaganda and right-wing misinformation, we'll know it's you.

    You shouldn't care about an, as yet, hypothetical.

    But you Trump voters should care a whole hell of a lot about voting for a guy who is a convicted felon, adjudicated and admitted sexual assaulter, who enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election, who repeatedly lied to the country about fake election fraud, and who is running an election campaign based on racist lies to promote grievance.

    But you don't, and that speaks volumes about your, um, character.

    To be fair, he's senile. Maybe he mistook her for Melania?

    Looks like the John Kelly thing was their big October surprise. Kelly lining up that new book deal and obviously lying through his teeth.

    I'm not sure about believing this just at face value.

    I'd wonder if there were any other women who told similar stories about Donald Trump groping them? Maybe court cases proving he did as much? Did he ever say anything that possibly indicated that he liked to grope women without their permission, or possibly even grab them ?

    Answers to those questions might shed some light on whether we should believe this additional claim from a woman who says that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her.....

    I detest trump as much as is humanly possible but unless and until the video comes out discussing the specifics it is reckless.
