Presidential Election Odds Shorten On Sanders & Trump In Iowa

It all seemed so inevitable last summer, Hillary, Jeb, the ulitmate battle of the political clans, it was meant to be. However since then the world has changed and if you've kept up with the Presidential Election odds are you've noticed this hasn't exactly gone to plan.

Presidential Election Odds

Clinton 4/5
Trump 10/3
Rubio 6/1
Sanders 13/2
Gambling news that it is the first major milestone of the Presidential Election trail and that, as a State, it is largely responsible for the ongoing greedy scam that is Ethanol, I'm going assume you will agree with me that the only good thing to ever come out of Iowa was John Wayne.

It's rather a shame Duke isn't around any more because he'd fit right into the 2016 Presidential Election race, it's playing out like a bad western and with a week to go both sides of the aisle find themselves in a gunfight neither of them expected to be having.

From the very outset the Presidential Election odds almost dictated that by now we should be seeing Hillary Clinton on one side and Jeb Bush on the other slowly stamping their mark on the nominations for their parties, however the reality has transpired to be wholly different.

The Democrats' Hillary Clinton has Bernie Sanders eating away at her lead, closing up in some polls to within the margin of error, whilst Republican Jeb Bush has become a political nobody with Presidential Election odds of somewhere in the region of zero to nil or lower.

Iowa Caucus Bigger Battle Than Expected


Now this is all less of a problem for the Democrats as Bernie Sanders, bless him, is still 7/2 to get the nomination at Bet365 compared to Hillary's 1/5, perhaps reflecting that whilst he might have some youthful energy behind his campaign it's Clinton with the organization and track record.

The Sanders revolution would be a wonderful thing for the United States, a true breath of fresh air, which is why he has absolutely no chance of election, alas. If there's one thing guaranteed to ruin your Presidential Election odds in US politics it's being a sensible person with some decent ideas about making things better for everyone.

That he's closed up the chasm-like gap between him and Hillary over the course of the campaign so far has clearlyrattled Clinton who has agreed to one last CNN TV debate before the Iowa Caucus in hopes of countering the very negative portrayal of her by not Sanders by the Republicans.

Given how quickly Iowa gives way to New Hampshire, where Sanders may well surprise even the bookies there will be those in the US gambling laws of political nature will see the democrats emerge with a candidate relatively unscathed (Bernie will be a gracious loser) which is more than can be said for the opposition.

Presidential Election Odds Still Show Clinton Lead


The Republicans are now in trouble. Their Presidential Election odds, regardless of the candidate they choose, are appallingly bad because there are fewer and fewer people in the US stupid enough to believe their divisive greedy fear-mongering, but those that still support them seem to be determined to go out with a bang.

Observing ing the Republican base slowly build the flaccid penis in a wig that is Donald Trump into the odds on favorite to be their candidate for President is like watching militant Lemmings storm Dignitas headquarters and take hostages. According to Bet365 Trump is now 5/4 on to be the candidate ahead of both Marco Rubio (9/4) and Ted Cruz (10/3).

The Republicans have a debate scheduled for the 28th just days ahead of the February 1st Iowa Caucus and you can be sure most of the men on that stage will look upon this as their do-or-die moment, their last chance. With the polls showing Trump just 2.6 points ahead of Cruz you can expect some fireworks, but the show might already be over.

Of course if you like to bet on sports in the US you probably don't bother with the prelims, saving your bankroll for the big event and the Presidential Election odds have Clinton still overall leader at 4/5 at Bet365  to take up residence in her husband's old house, with Donald Trump now in second place on 10/3 ahead of 6/1 shot Marco Rubio and the closing up to 13/2 Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz? 14/1 no hoper.
