    Lot of pure wishful thinking from Biden fanboys on here i see.

    Bless.

    Trump has this won at a canter

    Yeah, it's hard to imagine Americans voting a guy like Biden into office.

    It's one thing him being VP, but there's no chance people are going to give him the keys to the oval office as the main man. Even with the dislike of Trump in some quarters, it's not really enough to get him the volume of votes to beat a guy like Trump.

    Trump is just too damn popular among the average blue collar yank.

    I see Nigel Farage has given his seal of approval to Trump. He seems very sure that he'll win it. He's a shrewd operator old Nigel. It's great that we still have these brave leaders in the world. There's not too many of them left, but we should be glad we still have a few of them.

    First exit polls in 10 minutes, god i love this shlt

    Yiz have to admit. There is something very dodgy about the mail-in votes and all of these voting machine malfunctions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭cave_dweller


    Ya, I suspect Trump will claim fraud, no matter what.

    Oh, he'll mention it at some point for sure. How loudly he complains about it will be determined by how close the result is. The bigger the win for Biden, the less we'll hear about voter fraud. Really hope, and cautiously optimistic, that Biden will win this well by taking Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina.


    If the result is very close, we are in for a few wild weeks!

    What is dodgy about mail-in votes? Also, voting malfunctions are extremely rare and almost always caused by the humans using the software. Claims about fraud are not based on solid data of issues occurring. If you shout loud enough and for long enough, people will believe anything. :rolleyes:

    What makes you think would Trump concede?

    I agree with Kermit that there is no path to victory for him without Florida. And there won't be weeks of mail in voting counting in Florida.

    If Florida is called for Biden tonight, Trump will know he is a goner, thus I think he will concede.

    I have seen plenty of slightly hysterical chat about him not respecting the election results but certainly haven't seen any evidence from Trump himself that he won't concede if he has clearly lost. Losing Florida would equal he has clearly lost.

    Unless the margin is razor thin, I think the lawyers will be sent in then and he won't concede.

    Shady mail in ballots.

    The chances that in the final year of one of the most economically successful presidencies in history the country would suddenly be sturck down by a mystery virus that when you wade through the bull**** is no more severe than any that preceded it.

    The chances that after the virus being in the country for 9 months the president would be struck down with it in the final weeks, forcing a situation where his rival, one of the most uninspiring candidates in living memory, weaseled out of the debare with the backing of the commission

    You'd want to be on drugs to not see there are powers at work to ensure Trump doesn't get back in.

    I'm hoping for a win but I reckon these bastards have stolen it. I only hope the retribution is heavy.

    How can anyone remain civil when reading this nonsense that would hardly be entertained in a Conspiracy Theory forum?

    He's a shrewd operator old Nigel. It's great that we still have these brave leaders in the world.

    So shrewd that he failed, repeatedly, to be elected to his own parliament, getting beaten by people dressed in styrofoam suits.

    Trolling is just not what it used to be.

    Trump looks very likely to take Florida at this point.

    Biden needed a bigger early vote lead to have a realistic shot.

    States like Nevada will be very interesting. If Trump is going to get a big winning margin to avoid contests in court, then he might need to take somewhere like Nevada. But it's looking possible. And it really shouldn't be, but Trump is on track for a number of potential upsets against the polls.

    Btw, I think the young turks are doing a live show on their youtube channel, if anyone is interested. I might tune into that, just to see if they go into meltdown again when Trump wins like in 2016. :)

    Sure if it is razor thin like Gore/Bush he won't concede, as I said earlier but if it is clear cut he will.

    If there is 1% in it or more I think he will concede.

    I agree with schmittel, if Trump loses enough key states he'll concede. He likes to say some wild stuff and get everyone riled up but he'll concede if he has clearly lost. If it's close though, he will do everything he can to make it into a dogfight.

    A dolphin beat him lol

    He is the definition of a grifter.
    He tries to project this man of the people BS because he drinks and smokes fags.
    All the while being an ex banker, who did feck all and barely turned up when an MEP, when he could have made a real difference with regards farming, fishing etc.
    He made sure his kids got the German passports before brexit anyway, and didn't he apply for one himself? Lol

    The fact he is all Trump could dredge up to support him says a lot

    Asked these questions of the last person making this claim.
    What time do polls close?
    What percentage voted by mail?

    Where are you seeing that Trump is very likely to take Florida from?
    Where are you seeing he is on track for a number of upsets exactly?

    I find that amazing. If that’s in any way accurate it says a lot and would have to give the Trump camp a boost.

    He's currently leading in Florida by roughly 180,000 according to a few polls but there's nothing substantial yet.

    CNN poll has it very tight on some issues.

    Top issue:
    Economy 34%
    Racial Inequality 21%
    Corona virus 18%
    Crime 11%

    Economy and Crime are republican issues and they are ahead of Race and Virus.

    How are efforts going to contain virus
    Well 48%
    Badly 51%
    That's a lot tighter than reality where the effort has been a ****show.

    It's going to be tight lads. Trump isn't out of this yet.

    Aren't exit polls more likely to include Trump voters as a higher proportion of Biden voters have voted already?

    I'm hoping those exit polls are misleading in the context of the total vote given the numbers who had voted before today.

    In and of themselves, they are worrying from a Dem perspective.
