Question : Who has a better chance, Chicago Cubs win the entire World Series or Trump wins the election ?

Cubs are currently down 3 games to 1. Game #5 is playing tonight. The Cubs need to win ALL the remaining 3 games to take the World Series.

Update : The Cubs won game #5, but are still down 3 games to 2. Next game (#6) will play on Tuesday Nov 1st. The Cubs need to win the remaining 2 games to take the World Series.

Update : The Cubs won game #6, so each team is now tied 3 games a-piece. The final and deciding game #7 will be tonight Wed Nov 2nd, meaning which ever team wins tonight, will be the World Series Champions !
If the Cubs win it all, Chicago is going to go crazy (hopefully they keep it to non-violent celebrations). The Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908. Good luck.

Update : The Cubs win game #7 and thus are the World Series Champions !
Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs !

Cleveland Browns have a better chance of winning the NFL Superbowl than Trump winning this election.

Probably Trump from a statistical standpoint.

It's the Cubs and the curse is real. Of course, Trump has a better chance at 15%.

Even as a Tribe fan, I have to say Cubbies over Trump.

Bump.
Game #6 will start in about 2-1/2 hours.
Cubs are down 3 games to 2.
Any additional comments/opinions on this poll ?

Right now, according to 538, Trump has a 31% chance, and the Cubs have a 24% chance.  But, I think both of those are understated.

Trump chance's are overstated while the Cubs are probably accurate, so I say the Cubs are more likely to win

For those of you who are currently not watching the game, we are now at the top of the 4th inning, and the Cubs lead in game #6 with a score of 7-0.
It was 3-0 and then the Cubs just hit a grand slam home-run in the bottom of the 3rd.
Wow !

Now, the Cubs have a 46% chance of winning.  Something comprable to Trump (~30%) according to 538 is the chance Alabama repeats as CFP national champions (or that Ohio St. makes the playoff).

Even when the Cubs were down 3-1 they had a better chance of winning the World Series (assuming that they are about as good a team as the Indians)  by random chance than did Donald Trump have a chance of winning the World Series.

Wow.
The Cubs are already in the lead 1-0, after a home-run in the 1st inning.

Chicago Cubs Win ! !

For those of you who voted that trump had a better chance of winning, well so far, you bet the wrong way.
My gut says that Clinton will also win come Nov 8th.
Congratulations to the Cubs.

If the NL team wins a Game 7 of the World Series in a presidential election year, the Democrats win the election

I say this because of the Chicago Cubs, last time they won a World Series was in 1908. It's likely a good omen since Hillary is also from Chicago.

fun facts:

hillary said last year she and the cubs are going to win in 2016.

trump called the owner family of the cubs out and insulted them as a bad managed team with lots of problems.

nate said a few days ago that the cubs have a lower chance of winning than trump. ^^
