WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a testy exchange with reporters this week Biden refused to reveal his policy position on walking up to random women uninvited and sniffing their hair. After being asked the question several times, he threw up his hands in frustration.
"Look here, man!" he said to the reporters. "If I tell you what I really think about hair-sniffing that will become the story! I'm smarter than that, Jack! Listen to me. I have a plan for hair-sniffing but you aren't gonna know what it is until after I'm elected President. That's only fair."
Republicans pounced on Biden's statements and claimed that he plans to legalize unsolicited sniffing of strangers for the entire country.
One female reporter from CNN continued to press the issue, to which Biden responded by walking up to her and burying his nose in her hair.
"In spite of this uncomfortable incident between me and Mr. Biden, we are still unsure what his actual position is," she later reported. "I call on all our viewers to vote for Biden so we can all find out!"

There was a typo...
""" Biden Insists He Won't Reveal His Position On Hair-Sniffing Until After Erection."""

I wish I knew how to bet on this election, I'd make a bundle.

The Japanese in me made that typing error.
As for the election...
Rural, white America elected Trump four years ago and will do so again. I have already voted for Trump. My county voted 74 per cent Trump last time, will be higher this time.

Actually you can, somewhat, through the finance markets. Four years ago, the Mexican peso/US dollar exchange rate changed dramatically after Trump won. The Mexican peso weakened substantially from about 18.30 peso's to the dollar to about 21.30 in 3 days time. With leverage added, one longing the USDMXN currency pair could have made a small fortune. And I'm talking tripling or quadrupling the amount risked.
So, if you know how the market would react differently between a Trump vs Biden victory, you could place trading bets on Trump winning and do it that way.
I'm completely serious in all this. The amount risked can vary, and the more that is risked the the greater the chance of volatility wiping you out even if you are right in the longer term, say if Biden wins Florida which is announced early in election night but Trump goes on to win enough midwestern states a few hours later to clinch the win. But it can be done.
