Ooh tense times!! Thank you so much for all of this- I've been walking around town glued to this like a phone zombie all day!!

I feel like the Trump threads are coming to a bit of a head - like we are heading towards some kind of End Of Season Finale or cliffhanger! Haven't seen Biden's speech yet but feel so emotional about it all. So close!!!

SabrinaThwaite · 04/11/2020 21:41

Arizona should be OK, Nevada is still to the wire. Suspect North Carolina will be red.

[quote TheNorthWestPawsage]Welcome calm speech from Biden. McConnell (now he knows he and his precious Senate are safe) needs to finally give Trump “the talk”.

(Trump will not be sleeping well tonight.)

Pennsylvania Democratic officials are privately telling Biden campaign officials that they believe final margin of victory for Biden in Pennsylvania will be 100K-200K votes when the counting is finally done

DH is looking at his figures again...
The numbers for the state are so big and he thinks there's still enough of a shift possible in there for a narrow trump victory, but if they are pushing a higher % of postals than he's willing to hedge his bets on right now, yes it could match that projection. He thinks they have to be pushing above 60% of postals to get Pennsylviania. Which is very possible but he's hestitate on calling it yet.

(So I think some caution still needed here before getting too excited)

Oh fgs Rudy Giuliani's making a speech about 'crooked Democrats'

Roussette · 04/11/2020 21:44

Pinkiii so agree with your post.

Now we have Rudi calling frauds on and on. He is becoming more of an irrelevance thank god. Disputing ALL mail ballots, every one of them. Dead people voting, double voting etc. The ballots aren't signed, or postmarked and double dealing Democrats planned this in Wisconsin Nevada Michigan and Arizona.
Yeah right... Deludy Rudi

Knife edge stuff. Should not be.

SabrinaThwaite · 04/11/2020 21:45

Jim Acosta suggesting that Trump’s
team giving up on the idea of a Wisconsin recount as it won’t make enough of a difference.

Trump now focussing on Arizona.

MrsWarleggan · 04/11/2020 21:45

Hilariously Trump calling for a recount for (at the moment) in a state that he won back in 2016 with 11,000 votes..... Biden currently has 50,000 more than that..... The man is a fucking moron!!!

gchali · 04/11/2020 21:46

I've been refreshing this thread like crazy today! It's been better than most news outlets. Everything crossed for Biden here now to get it done🤞🏻

RedToothBrush · 04/11/2020 21:48

Fox just cut away from Republican presser to declare Michigan for Biden...

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2020 21:48

I'm not counting my chickens yet.

But just before that calm, dignified and classy speech, I was whiling away the nail-biting minutes with the help of Randy and... Cheeto Christ.

QuestionableDanceMoves · 04/11/2020 21:48

How is Rudy Giuliani allowed to say such inflammatory things!?

Are the poll counters not impartial people? Why do they need to have so many “observers” of the count? Is that not asking for tension and trouble?

They’ll be saying the whole count needs to be redone next

gchali · 04/11/2020 21:50

Is Biden the winner now? Is there any possibility Trump can edge ahead?

Roussette · 04/11/2020 21:50

Can someone from the US explain what are poll watchers? Are they just general public? Are they appointed officials?

This press conference is very weird. They keep saying 'Trump has won'

I feel a bit ill watching this press conference.

I went into the kitchen and tv sound down but noticed Rudy speaking and shaking his head a lot.

Put your penis away Rudy!

He MUST get every state but one (must INCLUDE Pennsylviania) to now win.
Widebum · 04/11/2020 21:56

Might we know this evening or will it be tomorrow now?

Roussette · 04/11/2020 21:56

So that was Eric Trump, Rudi, Corey Lewandski, and a man who couldn't see enough of the mail in votes as he was stood too far away(no binoculars)
Stolen election. Voter fraud. Fraudulent Democrats. etc etc

I watched Borat yesterday... that's all I can think of when I see Rudi.

Is everyone feeling confident that Biden has done it? I'm still feeling anxious.

PeterPanNeverLands · 04/11/2020 21:56

I came to bed when Rudi came on. Will check in throughout the night

goodness17 · 04/11/2020 21:57

Fox News got Biden at 264 now...

Roussette · 04/11/2020 21:59

I'm not 100% confident, no.
We've had so many disappointments, disasters, jaw dropping moments these last 4 years, nothing is secure and sorted... until it is.
I live in hope.

@Irisheyesrsmiling

I can't believe this has happened. Whether he wins or not, that so many millions of people would get behind him after what he's done over the last 4 years.
this

When I see people from marginalised communities supporting him - my mind is blown. Smart, informed people who are either paid flunkies for the TV or are uncapable of seeing this buffoon for what he is.

There is not a generalisation in the world that could account for people who find him credible.
