your mathematical/gambling style approach to things. Obviously from ur posts you have some professional gambling background.

But even the best gambler is wrong once in a while!

Biden will trounce Trump! Trump is doing horribly right now and many, even in tomato red counties, see him as an embrssment to the country. It took a ridiculously improbable series of misfortunes lining up (Comey, Russian hacking etc) for Hillary, a horrible candidate in her own right, to barely lose to the guy. There will be a blue wave for Dems in 2018 too. All the conditions will favor Biden. The only negative for Biden is age, but running against Trump, another old man, moots that issue.
