It doesn't get any bigger than this - The Most Important Election Ever! season is officially underway. It doesn't matter which side you're on, the facts are; the other side is stupid, and un-American - and your super rich compulsive lying New Yorker will save the country - while their super rich compulsive lying New Yorker will destroy it.

Depending on which biased news agency or college poll you believe, we're anywhere between Donald being up 6 points and Hillary being up 11. Personally, I say ignore the polls, their asses aren't on the line with their predictions - with Vegas, they can't afford to be biased. Hillary is 1 to 3.5. Donald is 2.5 to 1. (In other terms - Hillary is like a 1 goal favorite in soccer, about an 8 point favorite in football)

(If you must know - Gary is 70 to 1. If you'd like to bet on him, or Jill (name your odds), just send me your money - I'll fly out and place it for you)

Supposedly, both candidates get a 'bump' out of their respective conventions. We've all heard this, over and over - but I have no idea how it works. If you make up or change your mind based on one of those hundred million dollar circle jerks - please explain yourself, and while you're at it, tell me how your shamwows and nu-wave oven are holding up. Either way, if we assume the 'bump' is real, Hillarys convention was the most recent, so if the odds haven't balanced out yet, I assume they'll move slightly in Donalds favor.

Suggestions.

A lot of anti-Hillary folks think she should release her Wall Street speech transcripts, while a lot of anti-Trump folks think he should release his tax returns. Personally, I'd like to see both, but politically speaking - this would be extremely stupid for either to do, so we shouldn't expect either to happen.

My advice for both are kind of related.

For Donald, of course - stop tweeting, stop talking, stop doing interviews, do nothing. I'm surprised Manafort hasn't just knocked him out and locked him up yet.

For Hillary, as long as Donald doesn't follow my advice - maybe she should stop talking too, and more importantly - stop spending all that money. What she's raised is impressive, but the commercials seem like a waste at this point. Just sit on it until October, or until Donald gains ground - whichever comes first.

You are Don and Hills top advisor - what should they do, what shouldn't they do, and why?

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
