To "hand someone their hat" means that that individual is being forced/compelled to leave.By defeating Bush, "Bubba" forced him to leave the White House.Margin of victory,in this case is irrelevent.

And that's today English lesson.

Modern day of the phrase means to kick ass. Bubba, as you call him, didn't do that.

43%.... Handing someone his hat. Lol

He won because Perot ran. Period

Is this such an important thread that it had to be posted TWICE?

His mistake was he listened to the democrats and signed the tax increases, then THEY used it against him. And of course, Ross Perot. CLINTON was NOT a majority president.

A better example might be HILLARY - sure-thing at 9:00 election night.......then came the results!

3-2 is a massive favorite. That’s a 5 payout on 2. Lol.

Favored yes. Massive. No.

If he breaks to a clear lead after the polls close you will get 4\5 on your bet.

Have to win it twice....or more

The only reason Trump is favorite at all is because betting on anyone else,
whether Republican or Democrat, requires a lot more hoops to jump through before you win.
It's like betting a parlay - so you better get paid accordingly.
