Biden might have his moments but it pales into insignificance compared to Trump's 'moments'. Being polite here... I'd be typing all night if I even begun to scratch the surface

I have no idea who will win, it's just an observation on IF he wins. I think Trump may surprise us all.

Barbzaaaaa · 04/11/2020 01:35

@Roussette That's absolutely correct...that's why if I'm being honest I don't give a damn about any of Biden's flaws until Trump is out of the way.

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2020 01:35

Speak for yourself. Trump won't surprise me.

I expect a sitting president to win.

And I expect Trump to behave as he does. I really don't find him surprising at all. He's actually very boringly predictable – and to a degree, manipulable – once you stop getting drawn into the detail.

The thing that still dominates my thoughts is how on earth does a country of 330 million people put up these two old men as their best candidates for president? It’s quite astonishing but then American politics is very different from ours.

Sleep.

Feeling edgey.

McConnell retains Kentucky.

occa · 04/11/2020 01:44

Ugh McConnell, just HOW do people keep voting for him? Envy < not envy

Barbzaaaaa · 04/11/2020 01:49

I'm finding it all very very similar to 2016.

Selection of BrewCakeWineGin to keep folks going.

I'm going to pretend to sleep...

ScienceSensibility · 04/11/2020 01:56

When will we know who’s won?

Feeling sick here. Did I really just read that the black vote percentage for Trump has gone UP??

Fucking insane.

Time40 · 04/11/2020 01:57

I daren't go back downstairs and start watching the television again. I'm scared.

lavenderbongo · 04/11/2020 01:58

I’m watching CNN. I don’t think the race is over. Biden may win North Carolina.

lavenderbongo · 04/11/2020 01:59

It’s going to be tight. Florida was close but probably out of reach for the Democrats now.

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 02:00

My attempt to go to sleep failed...
No states have actually flipped yet?

Can somone explain why Florida is a must win state for Trump but not for Biden? Thanks

Barbzaaaaa · 04/11/2020 02:00

What IS the point of panhandles? The Oklahoma one is infuriating to look at.

Roussette · 04/11/2020 02:00

I dont know whether to sleep or watch. In 2016 I woke at 4am and it was just about all over

lavenderbongo · 04/11/2020 02:02

It’s the number of electoral college votes it gives him. You need 270 to win. They’ve predicted he would need Florida to get enough to win the presidency. Trump needs Ohio and North Carolina as well. It looks like Biden may get them.

lavenderbongo · 04/11/2020 02:04

Biden’s ahead in Texas! It’s close tho

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 02:04

Thank you

occa · 04/11/2020 02:06

The polls are looking pretty shaky again this year though, so whether or not Trump really has to win Florida is pretty moot at this point, I'd say.

Suffice to say it's a very important state with boatload of EC votes.

NeverHadANickname · 04/11/2020 02:09

I am so nervous, I can't sleep! I am in the US but usually get to sleep early. Surely Trump can't get it again? But that sounds similar to what I said in 2016 🤔

LOL my favourite comment of the night so far.
