Now that the election is settled and the winner determined I won't have to worry about voting.
I remember back in July when people said that Trump "couldn't possibly make it" to the nomination, and people were betting against him then, too, in droves, and thus you shouldn't take Trump seriously.
There's a part of me, just for the comeuppance, that wants to see Hillary triple down on that strategy.
You have to keep in mind that those who were saying "Trump wont last" were speaking about the obvious: sane people would eventually come around and figure him out and not vote for him. What they did not realize is that his base of 30% were not among those people. Doing the post hoc ergo propter hoc boogie now is really unworthy of the remainder who are moderately well educated (at least above high school drop out grade).
Well I've already made a bet that Trump will win, so...
But in all seriousness, there is still a chance that either Trump or $Hillary could win the presidential election.
I've got a grad degree, have been a Trump supporter all along, have been laughing at people like you making your nonsense pronouncements and predictions since the beginning, and have little doubt I'll continue to enjoy doing so all the way to the idiomatic bank.
Enjoy the next 8 years.

What was their prediction in January about who would be the Republican nominee? What odds were they giving Donald then?

I will have an MBA in two weeks and I also have been a Trump supporter all along. Trump has an awful lot of people supporting him for them all to be whacko.
Good for you... seriously. But let's put you in a room of 100 "Average" trump supporters and see where your MBA fits. It has been documented that the core of Trump supporters are not well educated. Here is one link to one of dozens of reports: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/15/who-really-supports-donald-trump-ted-cruz-ben-carson-marco-rubio-and-jeb-bush-in-5-charts/

LOL
Yet this myth that only uneducated, back woods, high school drop outs support the guy seems to persist.
True to the degree defining "core". I've been around a long long time and this is the poorest educated citizenry i can recall.The core of American people are not well educated.

I'll just say that if you had bet money Trump would win the nomination at the beginning of all of this you would have won a good chunk of cash. Trump has been stumping the odds makers throughout this whole thing.
Do I think Hillary is the most likely person to be our next President? Yes. Do I think it is inevitable? No. The biggest mistake Democrats can make is to underestimate Trump. I also don't think the polls are going to be as useful in this election as they have been in other elections. The criteria we have used in the past for predicting who a "likely voter" is probably won't hold for this election. And don't forget about what I call the "F**K IT!" vote. Those are people, who probably don't even like Trump, who will vote for Trump because they are so fed up with the political system and the politicians that run it that they will vote for Trump just to spite the system.
