When it comes to Donald Trump, trust these bookies over pundits

The New York Post reports:
Trump started out as a 100-1 shot days after referring to Mexicans as criminals and rapists on June 16.

By the time he mocked John McCain’s POW status and heroism on July 18, he was down to 50-1.

Then, after insulting Megyn Kelly during the Aug. 6 GOP debate, he improved to 20-1.

By Dec. 7, when he called for a ban on Muslim immigration, the odds were 6 to 1 — and he’s currently at 2 to 1.

Larry Sabato, a political science professor at the University of Virginia, said Trump benefits from all the attention — and that his voters don’t care when he spouts off.

“Trump has gained after gaffes because, even with a controversy, he has seized center stage,” he told The Post.
