my assumption re: the dancer is that it's a staffer who lost a bet

I think it's worse than that: the staffer won the bet.

― Professor Goodfeels (kingfish), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 22:11 (eight years ago) link
in his case, yes. Part of my surprise is due to reading a right-wing pundit/prez candidate who can accurately cite historical precedent, draw a clear line of argument, and marshal facts in support of a point of view. Kind of anomaly these days. Much as I vehemently disagree with a lot of what he says.

was wondering that myself, I think it has something to do with the fact that these odds are based on what they think the public will bet, not what they see the actual odds as. apparently they think Trump to win it all is going to get a lot of action even at unfavorable odds
