In a new interview with Pokerlistings, Daniel Negreanu shares his thoughts on the 2016 presidential primary election.
According to the interview, Negreanu took last year steps to gain American citizenship, meaning he's finally eligible to vote as well. When asked does Donald Trump has a shot at becoming president, Negreanu has a clear answer: "Zero. I would bet a lot of money on that. In fact, I’m going to bet a lot of money on it."
Negreanu went onto say that Trump’s base, as big as it is right now, “isn’t going to grow”.
“Because if they wanted to vote for Trump, they already would. He’s had all the exposure. He was on TV non-stop, so everyone knows him.
“If you don’t like him now, you never will. Let’s say you vote for Christie, and he gives up, then your vote is not going to Trump.
“It may go to Rubio or somebody else, but not to him, as it would already be there.”
Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice television show made poker headlines a few years back when female player Annie Duke went up against the late comedienne Joan Rivers in the finale. Those two made the current Trump vs. Rubio spat look like child’s play in comparison.
