Against whatever GOP candidate isn't a flaming racist, or under Federal investigation and/or indictment.

 

Are you saying that there will be a change of heart within the Republican party?

Agreed, but really hope I'm wrong. There's a fear that there are so many silent voters who are way off the pollsters' radars that will come out for Trump.

 

Joe Biden isn't perfect but surely to goodness most people don't want another 4 years of the Trump nightmare.

What's most frustrating about this is that there must have been a couple of dozen better options to pick than Biden; options who would have strolled this.

 

I see nothing good about Biden other than (i) he seems to be a kind man and (ii) he's not Donald Trump. I really hope he wins but I also suspect he won't be physically capable of seeing out a full four years. Getting Kamala Harris in the hot seat will be a great step forward for the USA but whether they would vote for her next time out becomes a big question. Plenty of idiots out there who just won't believe that a woman is capable of leading a country (despite Angela Merkel; despite Margaret Thatcher; despite Jacinda Ardern (not mentioning Teresa May in that list!)).

If you’re talking about battleground polls narrowing I’d check the low quality (and extreme partisanship) of the pollsters who ran some of the recently added polls (Trafalgar, Susquehanna etc). Doesn’t mean Trump can’t win, of course...


As a follow up, I know I’ve quoted the RCP average on here myself, but more and more people who know this stuff are questioning their methodology (and apparently deliberate right-wing slant)...

I think you could have another 4 years of saying that. 😬

A high turnout usually means the lazy left have got off their arse, but such is the level of bluster from Trump and his orcs it's hard to know what's really going on.

 

This SHOULD be a slam dunk for Biden but it's nervous times for sure.

Is this really the end?

 

I know its wrong and if I was American I wouldn't find it funny but Trump has entertained me for years now and its been astonishing that a civilised nation could have this clown as their leader.

 

Will be interesting to see how Kamala does as president.

Sad to say, the division Trump has sown will make Biden’s job as president a nightmare.

You're right Smithee, it should be. Biden needs a clear win but I suspect it will be close.

Is there anyone on here who doesn’t think Trump is a massive weapon?

There appear to be a couple. For their sake I hope they are just massive trolls.

Maybe not on this thread outside of a couple but there was a JKB vote thread and I'm sure he got around 20%.

Gallons of tears and snotters over the next couple of months.

 

I couldn't really give a shit in all honestly but i think Trump will win. He might have some views that people hate, but to a lot of people, he's telling the truth.

How reliable are the exit polls and will we get an indication of the result at 2300? 

 

I have tomorrow morning off so can sleep at some point.

Trump will lose the main 3 he gained the last time.  That will be enough for Biden to win.

 

Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

 

Florida might be a crap shoot.  Same with Ohio and a few other.

 

Can't see him losing Texas.

Exit polls will pretty much be meaningless. Close to 100 million voted before today.

Don't know if it still exists somewhere but I can remember a thread with similar predictions, maybe not as emphatic, that Hilary would win 4 years ago.

I think Donnie might take Florida also. Cuban right wingers. 


Another weird COVID impact in Florida is that the Republicans pushed forward with in-person, door-to-door registration drives etc when Democrats took a step back due to COVID risks.

Unfortunately he's a massively clever and convincing speaker/liar - and not being a politician with a checkable history of what he stands for seems to be just what loads of Americans want, especially one with a massive ego and celebrity status.

 

They don't seem to care how he made his millions, or how many millions he's made, or whether he's paid taxes or not, or how many women he's groped (or worse)

 

It's totally tragic actually.

The amount of paths Biden has to win makes it is likely it's him but **** I just don't know I think the slimeball Trump will get in again.I have no faith in the US , sorry US Hearts fans.

He surely takes Michigan after how the Republicans have treated Detroit and Flint

CNN are reporting that Biden camp are not confident they will carry FL so indications are you will be right there.

Up until today I’ve been supremely confident of a Biden win but I had to admit to feeling extremely nervous now with what I’ve seen on the exit polls. Seems that Trump’s message has resonated a lot more than I had anticipated, ominous!!!

Have read earlier that Trump has clawed back 4 key states and now looks like winning those.

Was always likely to be the case. This will be a lot closer than many were predicting only a few hours ago.
