The Bolton market at TradeSports.com is dropping dramatically. The chances of Bolton now getting through as Ambassador to the United Nations are measured by the market at 45% chance of confirmation.
This is amazing as he was considered quite likely, 95% likely at the end of May, and then hovered around 90% through early June — after which it has been plummeting since.
We are winning.
— Steve Clemons
