To think that Trump is not going to get re-elected?

[Anon778833]

There are still a few fringe types who think he’s going to get a landslide victory.

Personally I find this unlikely.

Any MNers from across the pond have a view more informed than myself?

Anyway, moving right along ...

Is that map diagram deliberately, um, priapic?

NYT posting 10 minutes ago ...

”As of Friday morning, 9,009,850 Texans have already voted. That’s more than the total number of voters who cast ballots in the state in 2016.”

So I don’t need to stay up all night (UK) in case the results is declared?

Thank you Lobster for the information.

It depends on how conclusively one or other side wins, and it's really all about the swing states.

You know how the western states (last to close their polling places) are going to vote (Biden), so you're looking at how the swing states (generally further east so they close earlier) have voted.

As their results come in, it gets easier to predict who will win overall.

This year there are a lot of swing states... So... (shakes head and throws hands in the air dramatically)...

Just seen this on Twitter

US sets world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours
Daily caseload of 100,233 surpasses tally set in India last month
Study links Trump rallies to 30,000 cases and 700 deaths

But they just don’t believe it. I am doubtful that he even had it. Just performing a Jesus like resurrection for the crowds.

The probability of Biden winning more than 400 electoral college votes (13.4%) is now greater than than the probability of Trump winning re-election (11.8%).

I'm getting really fucked off with the Trumpies visiting my state. They have these rallies with hardly anyone wearing masks then zip off again.

Infection rates are now going up - who'd have guessed?

I need this election to be over for so many reasons now.

Amen sister.

And me - I don’t (and will never) live there but DSil does so it affects her family and the rest of world. The only plus is that the US isn’t the superpower it used to be.

If Trumps wins - Wednesday morning will be as peaceful as possible
If Biden wins - all hell will break loose. I cannot see Trump going without a fight ( but I am this side of the pond)

I suspect that’s why he is spending election night on the Whitehouse. He will be barricading himself I’m the Oval Office, taking potshots at anyone who tries to get in.

Captain Kirk will have gone crazy and taken control of the flight deck...

Really hope Biden wins by a landslide and Trump has to concede!

He will never concede though will he?

I dont think so to be honest. If/when he loses his various rats will desperately start abandoning the sinking ship before the corruption charges are stacked up against them and Trump is a massive moral and physical coward who will shit himself and run the minute one secret service guy firmly tells him to leave.

This is awful!

Even Fox can see the Hunter Biden stuff as the transparent bullshit attempt at 'but her emails' part 2 that it is (and im not sure theres anybody who wants to come back to you office to see you tuck in more shirts, Rudy)

By the way has any other president had his personal lawyer hovering around like a bad smell quite so much? why is he alwaysthere? and how the hell has that man had the career hes had when hes a complete liability.?(Guiliani)

I'm amazed how many absolute eejits in the Trump world are apparently lawyers. Obviously missed the "critical thinking" module at Law School.

This is why people shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun. No President has ever tacked gun crime even after the school massacres.

Exactly this. I foresee huge problems in that country if Biden wins. The lunatics will mobilise and the consequences are pretty worrying.

Trump apparently is going to be in the White House when the results come in - trying for squatters rights!!

It seems like he's planning on declaring victory if he's ahead when all the votes haven't been counted. It's so dangerous because his supporters will follow and believe anything he says.

It's crazy that months before the election he can say it's a fixed election only if he loses and people don't see through it.

My ex in SC has bought a handgun in the last couple of weeks in anticipation of unrest.

Makes no sense to me at all, everybody running around armed is hardly going to diffuse things, is it ?
