US Presidential Election 2020

[Jon the Hat]

Democrat woman on BBC has failed to resist calling Trump supporters uneducated voters.  They can't help it, and they wonder why people don't vote for their party.

We’re hammered so much by the anti trump media and forced political views upon us that we even need to put a disclaimer at the start of our posts stating ‘‘I’m no trump fan but..’’  

 

if you didn’t put this you would be hounded at. Ridiculous world we live in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very true!

This is what makes trump's supreme court comment even more batshit crazy. He's sat there with a legitimate chance of winning without resorting to backhand crap, why not wait for the final count and IF you lose fire off your democracy killing bullet? 

 

Crazy shite. 

Similar to what Farage did on referendum night. These people just love it so they can act the big underdog when they win.

Exactly this. Same with Brexit all over again. The press nonce around London surrounding themselves with people who agree with their own beliefs. Deride everyone else as thick racists and sit back and spread their own narratives. Because their circle lap it up they believe their own hype. Come results day and the people they have ignored/derided give them a bloody nose.

Biden has overtaken Trump in Wisconsin. Augurs well for the other absentee/mail in votes in the other Midwest states - this is far from over.

I’m no Trump fan but considering he must have plenty of support in the USA it’s interesting how we mainly only get to hear from anti Trump people on our so called impartial news channels.

You only have a to watch a 'pro' trump news broadcast and an 'anti' trump one from the US to get 2 completely different version of the same speech. Quite incredible really.

No she didn't.

 

Listen to it again and this time grasp the context.

Exactly! Even if he wins, he does so having brought the whole electoral system into disrepute, undermining his victory. 

 

...Not that it matters to an utter nutcase like Trump.

Was thinking exactly this. Very similar to Brexit in that the media and the noisy left manage to convince themselves they have won. The average man on the street is ignored and demonised so holds their thoughts. Come results day and everyone is shocked and amazed. Happens over and over.

Too easy for the comparison with Brexit. 
 

Biden is certainly not ‘noisy left’.
The average man on the street within America is completely different between states. 
 

Equally America’s demographics are changing.  That doesn’t make it anywhere near as clear cut as it does in the UK. For example Hispanics in Florida are more like to go Trump because of their links to Cuba (socialist link of Dems not good). However Hispanics in say Cali etc will go Biden.

He will win Wisconsin i think, but has a big gap to close in NC, Penn, Michigan.  He needs Georgia I think, as he won't win the others.  he would need 70% odd of the postal vote I think.

Michigan looks like it might flip to Biden as well.

Tbf it was just me and they mean something in tandem with the rest of the info about saying it's actually neck and neck 

 

Biden now slight fav btw. 

[dsr-burnley]

Only 10,000 votes in it in Nevada, which is still counting.  Trump gaining ground.  If Trump could take that one he could lose Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona and still win.

[KFS]

Knew this would happen. I’ve woken up with the intention to go to the gym but I’m glued to CNN instead...

I think that's because (unlike the UK) they don't cancel the election if a candidate dies.  So if you want a Republican you have to vote for the dead man to get a second election.
