Is it time yet for a betting pool? October 22, 2016 5:50 pm Robert

SDG is predicting a “total blowout in favor of Hillary”, and there’s a general air of finality in the world: We know Trump is going to lose. Bigly.

Now the question is, by how much?

For several days now, like some kind of cosmopolitical mcguffin, the number “37″ has been floating into my consciousness. Trump getting 37% of the popular vote would be a total blowout for Hillary indeed.

More important, it would solidly repudiate Trump’s toxic claim that the election will be rigged when he loses.

Yeah, I’ll go with 37%. As much out of hope as calculation, admittedly. It’ll sure feel good to be right.
