The battle for who has best hair will be back on when Boris visits to pay his respects to the new president  |

Pence is a born again Christian, twice. He also has a solution to the LGBT problem. Odd really because I didn't know there was a LGBT problem.

I believe that's a BLT with extra Gruyere. The problem in my experience is the tomato squishing out sideways when you first bite.

President Trump: anyone think of any positives? What is this poll asking? Who do we think will win, or who do we want to win? - in which case there might reasonably be a 'none of the above' option.

None of the above is not a candidate. I could have added the Libertarian candidate who wondered what "a Leppo" was.
Most of us have no vote in this election, so here is a vicarious chance to fulfill any wish you might have to do so.

If Congress is of the opposite persuasion, I guess neither of them will be able to do very much in terms of legislation.

It depends, the Senate will be Republican anyway, the Congress could go either way. If Trump gets in he may have some power if Clinton gets in she will have little. The lack of Democracy will continue either way. It's the other way round. The Senate could go either way - the Democrats will be up some seats, but not necessarily enough to take control. Congressional districts have been gerrymandered to the point that the Republicans are going to get a majority, in spite of having a minority of the votes for Congressional Representatives.

Would a Trump win likely create a big knock on the US stock markets? In hindsight I wish I had made a bet on brexit to hedge against some of the currency movement. As I have a fair bit in an S&P tracker and various US heavy funds, not sure if it is worth doing the same bet on Trump winning here... Has anyone else been thinking along these lines?

Well young Mr Paul Scott decided to buy a hedge on the dollar yesterday in case Trump gets in, certainly Trump himself advised getting out of the US market before the election. I'm still betting on herself getting in so am generally staying but I sold Googl yesterday. If only I'd dropped FB, should have learned after AMZN fell.  |

Has anyone else been thinking along these lines? Yes, but I have little idea of the US, but as the US stock market is relatively expensive on some measures and the US bond market is also very expensive I have sold most of my holdings, mainly into cash , but also FTSE 250 and some non-US/UK funds. My worry of betting is some sort of inconclusive result which causes the market to fall, but might not pay out. I think that you need to read the details of any bets very carefully. This is why I decided to keep it simple. Edit - it might be safer to bet on the S&P500 rather than election.
