It seems Donald is always the underdog until he isn't, for now, Hillary Clinton is on top. We'll have to wait to see if the bookies are right.

Donald Trump may feel invincible right now, but he’s still an underdog going into the general election.

Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmakerLadbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4.

The New York City tycoon, meanwhile, is a 9-4 underdog, according to the bookmaker’s website.

Betting on the presidential race is illegal in the United States, but the online odds capture the zeitgeist.

“The interest is huge,” said UK-based Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue. “We can’t get Donald Trump off the pages of our newspapers and our TV screens.”

So whom do the oddsmakers like for vice president?

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who was the last man standing against Trump before he quit Wednesday, comes in at 4-1. Right behind him is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6-1, according to Ladbrokes.

Clinton hasn’t sewn up her party’s nomination yet, but the oddsmakers like HUD Secretary Julian Castro (9-4) for a running mate. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren are tied at 6-1 in the Democratic veepstakes.

For Trump to overcome the odds, he’ll likely have to mend fences in the Republican Party. On Wednesday, he said he wanted to unify the GOP — and some Republican bigs have already kowtowed to the billionaire businessman.

“You know what, I think something different and something new is probably good for our party,” Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus cooed on CNN Wednesday morning — after months of bashing Trump. “So, look, we’re here. We’re going to get behind the presumptive nominee.”

So would the devil be favored to beat Trump. Because he is the democrat candidate.

And why do democrats always win the big elections?... because all of the people who want and get various hand outs or entitlements. You cannot change that. People are mostly concerned with their own selfish ways to acquire money and all those other national issues do not really matter. And the democrats traditionally are more willing to put us in serious debt to pander to that enormously large class of Americans and illegals. So shame on America and to hell with democrats' ways of winning elections. They are poison, not an antidote.

I don't think you have any handle at all on where all the national wealth and expenditures go.
