Ok seriously, what odds will some one give me that Vance doesn't stay as VP?
10 to 1?
I know its ridiculous. Its absolutely fucking ridiculous. Like they had the convention. This should be "done".
If any one is will to take it, I want 200 to 1 on a parlay that Vance both a) does not stay as VP, and that b), whoever he gets replaced with does even worse in the polls.
I'll put $20 down and this is free money for any one willing to take it.
Would that be $2 from me if I lose?
No if you take the bet and I lose, I owe you 20 bucks.
If Vance does not stay as VP, and whoever replaces him polls worse, you pay me 4000.
Its very easy money. Vance is definitely staying the VP. You should take the bet.
OK, I'll take it.
Deal made. Mark it in the books. I should prob just send you the cash now cus that bet is DUMB and ridiculous.
But also. DAMN Vance seems like shit on stage. Trumps gonna fucking HAAAAAATE that.
Watching that crowd hooting and hollering for coal country. Everyone in my extended family that was involved in coal mining did nearly everything possible to get their offspring the fuck OUT of that line of work. Hearing these magabrains hoot and holler for that...WTAF.
Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.
I mean, its so fucking ridiculous to think Trump would swap out Vance.
But then.. would he?
He's crazy. And he HATES people who don't get ratings. That's like, his entire thing.
