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?

Yes and no 🤔😂 His 'out to get me' stance does have some basis in reality!

I’m sure that’ll be a big deal to no-one

To be fair her only strong point was women's rights, she has always been weak when it comes to the other core issues like the economy, immigration and foreign policy aka the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine war.

I just wish I hadn't turned the radio on and had a few more hours of hope. But Biden has been a waste of space not saying I don't blame them I just think wtf.

And Trump has won Georgia, 3 of 7 swing states

I will not visit America whilst racist rapist Trump is in power. Putin must be so happy.

As awful as Harris it seems! Why on earth anyone imagines she would have been better us the depressing thing.

Exactly! Who cares.

I thought, he would win but very much hoped he wouldn't. Nothing short of a disaster for women, minorities, the environment, Ukraine and so much more.

What foreigners fail to realize is that neither Trump nor Harris have power over abortion. In order to put a national abortion law into place, the House and Senate need to agree on legislation, with the Senate requiring a 60% majority to support any new law. There are not 60 Senators who will vote for or against abortion, since the Senate, like the country, is pretty evenly split. Without Congress putting a bill on the President's desk to be signed, a federal abortion law is impossible, and Americans know this. So does Harris, yet she made abortion her central issue. Really bad mistake. The issues Americans care about most, namely inflation and immigration, she all but ignored. A very, very bad decision on her part, and now we are seeing the result.

Well im sure not every Trump voter is a knuckle dragging hick. Ive heard loads of his supporters and the can actually string two words together.
I dont like it when entertainers think they know better than lowly people and tell them who to vote for.
I dont really care who wins but I cant understand how so many people are ' horrified and scared if Trump wins . I think these people must be scared of there own shadow.

😂

Hmm well Spiders, there've been gender critical boycotts of stuff, & I agree w those. A boycott isn't just not acknowledging existence, it's normally trying to force business Change. Not sure how a travel boycott will do that..
But I get the anger behind it. I mean, Trump is going to pull out of the Gaza war, & Ukraine. He denies climate change. Is that really what we need? Not to mention he trued to overthrow the state 4 years ago, under the world's eyes.

New York Times's popular election needle is now saying very likely that Trump will be president.

Kamala seems to have given up with the way she left without speaking to her supporters.

That’s a real shame though.

I was disappointed when Biden got in, but I respected the American vote and continued to visit throughout the Democratic presidency.

America remains wonderful. The country remains beautiful. The cities remain incredible.

I’ve been visiting, sometimes with gaps as short as 6 weeks between visits, for the last 20 years. It’s an amazing place to be regardless of who is in Government.

Is it any different from us voting for BoJo because people 'liked' him?
Someone who showed us repeatedly who he was, fired from a job for lying, multiple affairs. Didn't have a plan or policy for Brexit but just said he would 'get it done' - people believed him.............

I could go on and on. Trump is BoJo and Farage combined on steroids - the hate, division and lies. I feel very sorry for all women in the US

Seems that personality politics and nationalism usurps everything.

I'm genuinely confused this time. Why???

Up until this point I have only rationalised it by thinking that the majority of the American population must simply be uneducated and/or stupid. But I am starting to think there is something else I need to be aware of.

Can anyone explain to me why Americans have voted this way?

Genuine question- and at this point I'm honestly willing to listen and learn, because obviously the Democrats are getting something majorly wrong that I'm just not aware of. How can they have failed so badly as to warrant at Trump victory?

This is very depressing 😥

Thanks for this. I didn't know the Senate rules and follow these kind of threads for education.

So it's not just sexism then? Do you think that issues such as abortion, which are a central concern in other countries - are less important there then?

I can understand the main worry about inflation after the egg crisis - it's the last cheap protein available

Please tell me which policies of Kamala would make her a better president.

Every single time she has been asked about her policies, her only answer has been “Trump did this, or Trump did that. Not once have I heard “I would do…….”

Trump on the other hand has reeled off big, big plans, on economy, fuel, jobs, health, tax, security. So many realistic plans.

Meanwhile, Kamala has gone home to bed.

Thank God she can’t drag the USA further down the road to ruin.

I agree. I strongly blame the Republicans for this mess.

They’ve fully succumbed to populism. There were Republicans against Trump. They either shut up to save their careers or have become fairly irrelevant.

I also blame the Democrats, btw. Being unable to present an electable and appealing alternative to a clown like Trump is a disgrace.

But I’m not surprised by this outcome. And neither should other countries’ leaders and politicians be.
They had 4+ years to prepare for this (more like 8, considering Trump’s first term). Let’s hope they actually used this time constructively!

its the immigration issue as well as inflation.
worldwide issue

This time 2020, Trump was ahead. By morning, a very different story. It is far too early to call it over.

I agree with this.

Why did the democrats offer Kamala coronation and not have a wider field of democratic candidates initally? Biden keeping in office long after his cognitive decline was apparent meant Harris was presented as a done deal and I think from the outset that put people off.

The initial overly self congratulatory speeches with Kamala mimicking Obama badly with her oratory was over confidence and the initial poll jump could never be carried forward.

I don't think I will see a woman President in my lifetime now.
