Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 The live Florida count on the CNN website is superb, 49-48% to Trump now after 4 million votes, to say that's going to be close is an understatement. Recounts possible, could end up in the courts again.

The areas already counted are more likely to lean Republican, from what I'd guess. If Hillary is doing better than Obama in them I would think she's in reasonable shape.

Ross-Kemp Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 40k votes difference at the minute, this will get messy.

Very hard to call. Trump cutting the gap as needed in Palm Beach, Clinton currently doing better than Obama2012 in Miami-Dade though.
Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 South Carolina called for Trump, Clinton now edging ahead in Florida.
leicsmac Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 If Clinton wins both Virginia and Florida I'll get some sleep knowing that the job is done.
Darkon84 Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Following from the current dialogue on the BBC, it raises something I've often wondered. What's still up with America's continued use of Russia as the 'bogeyman' and equally the same vice-versa? Surely it's about time a president of one of those places actually just sat down and spoke properly with the other instead of the constant propaganda against the other? What harm could come from it? Can you just imagine how good the trade etc would be between two such huge countries like that, for a start?

They both want to shape the World, they have a very different view of how it needs to be shaped. Speaking of which though, Reuters reporting Russia has just sent ground troops into Aleppo, straight out of the Putin playbook that, same as Georgia Georgia, invaded in 2008 while the world was distracted by the Olympics.

Touche, I get they they are both coming from differing ideologies, but in todays world (at the risk of sounding like Liecsmac or Ozleicester (no offense chaps)), surely theres room to slide in a little dialogue, rather than just plain propaganda against each other and it just takes one person to do so. a little gesture would go a long way, I'm sure. Actually. this is all a conversation for another time..... Ladies and Gents, continue as you were! Nothing to see here!
Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 If Trump won you would have seen dialogue with the US and Russia for the first time in years, Trump would have been happy to turn his back and let them do what he wants, one of the main reasons I could never have voted for him. The Latino vote in Florida showing Trump the door but still electing a Republican to the senate, shows how important his attacks on the "bad hombres" were. Florida #ElectionNight #USPresident vs #Senate Trump (R) 47.1% Clinton (D) 50.1% Rubio (R) 49.9% Murphy (D) 46.5% 71% vote counted
Harry - LCFC Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Both candidates within 1,000 votes of one another according to CNN, Matt. 86% counted

Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Sorry it was 28! Amazing, how can things get this close
Harry - LCFC Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Why are the BBC not all over this? Trump ahead by 28,000. 89% in.

Now we've got this white-haired chap going on about the racial dimension of the election, not saying that isn't important but there are other things going on right now!

He's just filling time etc, and should get back to Eggheads. Your're right, it's a shame so far considering how good the EU Ref was reported, espeicially as this has been treated as a bigger thing by many!
Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Exit Poll in Michigan 48% each, that is supposed to be safe Democrat but huge white working class vote could swing it to the Republicans. Trump is far outperforming Romney in rural America.
Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Trump now 0.8 ahead with 90% gone, looks like Florida is going Republican even with the huge Latino turnout. Trump share higher in 41 counties in Florida than it has been since 2000.
Darkon84 Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 I feel that given Farage's interview on BBC and the comments regarding Russia just now, my cover may have been blown! It's true, ladies and gentlemen of Foxestalk.... I am in fact, Nigel Farage
Guest MattP Posted 9 November 2016 Posted 9 November 2016 Farage is loving it, a non-stop trolling mission in 2016. Clinton doing well in Ohio, this election could be turning up a few surprises.
