If Trump becomes president

[pokeraussie]

Do you think that could have any ramifications on the online gaming industry in the US?

[sweetbet]

I'm sure it will, but will the ramifications be positive or negative for us, I'd be more inclined to say negative.

Unfortunately Adelson endorses him... so it doesn't look promising.

If Trump becomes President, poker's going to be the least of US problems.

I thought Adelson was supporting Rubio and perhaps Cruz.

Local radio host in Cleveland Mike trivisano had him on last week, his 3 questions were security, jobs and online poker. He went back and asked about poker a second time as trump didn't think he was serious and answered there is a extreme lobby trying to stop online gaming, from las vegas casino owners of course. He also threw in the under 18 concerns. Said he would look into it but didnt sound promising really. here is a link to the full interview, and you need to listen fully.

In 2011, Trump told Forbes, "This has to happen because many other countries are doing it and like usual the U.S. is just missing out."

[universal4]

Forbes stated he wasn't worth anywhere NEAR 10 billion and I have seen a few articles that he has been over-stating his net worth for years.

I think they listed him worth 4.5 billion which is a little less than half of what he has been claiming.

10 billion or 4.5 billion still so much more than all of us together...

Nobody can tell, depends on which side he wakes up in the morning. But he won`t be president anyway.

How can you be so sure? There doesn't seem to be any clear winner in the race.

I just don`t think you can win an election in USA 2016 with racial comments and cluelessness on nuclear issues, hugely sensible topics. Also, Trump has odds 5.00 and the bookies usually know what they`re doing in elections.

I was just checking the election odds I retract my comment there is a clear winner I am kinda surprised so many people are in favor with Hillary. She may get more female votes, but then again I wouldn't have thought many young people relate to her.

That still implies a 20% chance - which isn't exactly a remote posssibility?!

Don't underestimate the trend in the US for anti-government sentiment. For all his ego-driven, populist comments, Trump's main appeal is he isn't a politician and not part of the establishment (saying anti-PC comments enforces it)

The US middle-class have seen their living standards decline for decades and they blame the Washington establishment, if he can convince them that they will be better off and more secure - then a bit of racism will be fine (history tells us that) - then he has a definite chance.

With one third of the working aged population in the US not working anymore they have to vote for a democrat to keep the boat afloat, heaven forbid 93 million people would have to go back to work! Then they would be penalized with healthcare payments on top if they work!
