Looks like Trump could win?

[Kittykat86]

It's looking good for Trump. My dad is a total Trump hater and has been convinced that he won't win, especially since Kamala took over.
I don't know how the system works but is it too early to say that Trump is going to win?

As a Brit looking at the world and looking at the US from the outside in, I wonder what on earth makes people vote for someone as inherently nasty as Trump and that people would think its Ok choose that as their leader.

I fear for the world. This is as bad as it gets.

Kamala’s supporters were waiting to hear her speak. It’s just be announced she will not be addressing the crowd tonight and they should go home. What? She could have at least thanked her supporters for voting for her and waiting for hours to hear her speak.

What an ungrateful cow. Pftttt

🤣🤣 Sour grapes, enjoy your meltdown!

Only more scarier thought than Trump presidency is that if he dies during it (as he is old, let's face it) , his VP would become president

Nobody really believes there’s no such thing as a woman.

Oh goody. A convicted felon for president.

Low standards much?

She wasn't there to take part, she was there to take over. Too bad! Very bad form to leave like that. Hope Trumps supporters party like the world has never seen before😁 Delighted!

As a Brit who spends a lot of time in the USA, I can see exactly why people have voted for Trump.

From a selfish point of view, I hope that he bring balance to a Western world that’s been heading too far to the left.

I also look forward to our foreign secretary working with President Trump. That will be interesting to see.

I understood people voting Trump over Clinton.

But you actually have a decent shot at a prime minister for the first time since Obama and you fumble it?! I did not expect to wake up to basically find Trump winning (I kind of thought it was a bad omen that Harris won the popular vote, though)

Gutted for the US right now

The fact she didn't come out speaks volumes about the type of leader she would have been. Runs away when things get tough. Not a good look & very disrespectful to all her supporters.

I was just watching that too.

I thought it was absolutely appalling that she sent someone out to tell the crowd that she won't be making a speech tonight. Incredibly ungrateful, and extremely poor manners.

I think it also suggests that she knows that she's lost. There was still a slim hope but that doesn't seem to be the case, given her reaction.

Those people waited until almost 1am to support her - and she doesn't show her face. Just rude.

Surely she could have just gone out to say thanks, we'll make a full speech tomorrow blah blah. Really, really shitty of her- a good leader needs to know how to lose graciously. It's not just about pumping fists when you win.

And I say all this as someone who was DESPERATE for Harris to win to avoid the corrupt felon getting in the Whitehouse.

I would imagine she's had to hide from Trumps threats to shoot the enemy from within?

I made a sherry trifle especially lol

I’ve booked to pop over in February. I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere, after 47 has been sworn in.

Absolutely even if he can pull the west back to the centre. The Senate is Republican, the house will probably be Republican, time to get back to traditional values. America obviously did not want the Democrats "progressive" policies.

May be for starters accept the results ( when official) and stop the division. At this stage I only care for the unity of the US.

The US with Trump would be fine. They do not need your pity and most people are sane plus all those celebrities endorsing Kamala do not even live there full time. They are detached from reality and just helped to alienate the electorate. Time to reflect what went wrong and people’s priorities and what is democracy.

I agree with all of that.

And yet she'd still be a better leader than the orange lunatic.

This isn't terribly surprising, given the global shift away from left leaning politics and leadership. An enabling approach from government is at the crux, it's that which appeals most to people.

Already there are people on this thread saying they're going to boycott America if Trump wins. An illustration of the 'with or against me' arrogance that permeates today's left(er) leaning contingent; there's nothing progressive about telling people they only matter if they agree with you (indeed I won't even acknowledge your existence - I'll boycott you! - if you don't).

Lmfao who do you think has been in power? Plenty of time over the last few years for change.

What “refreshing change” were you expecting exactly? fucking hell.

if they hadn’t done it whilst in power it’s not gonna happen, blatantly obvious

The refreshing change I'm hoping for is female sport for females only, female spaces for females only..

I think the US just hit a new low! Convicted felon and rapist as president. 👏

But he is so disgusting. I just don't understand at all. What are his positive qualities? I guess abusing women is really popular.

Not surprised. Totally deflated hot air balloon. Hillary Clinton hid away too IIRC. And she was made of sterner stuff. Mind you I have to admit the Donald wasn't exactly a gracious loser last time round! Not called yet though. Maybe a surprise is still in store.

You’re fucking kidding right? He is going to decimate women’s rights not protect them.
