    Exactly, so people should probably relax a little and not get too worked up, what it does seem to be guaranteed now that Biden couldn't take Florida is that this isn't going to be called tonight.

    I know you’re right.

    But I think I'm so upset because it’s so close.

    13000 vote lead for Biden in Ohio now. Biden isn’t winning there.

    Only 41% of the early vote is in Ohio. Plenty of votes left out there for Biden potentially.

    I couldn't give a s**t about some working class white man in Pennsylvania whingeing because he's not the centre of the universe anymore.

    I care about Trump pulling them out of the Paris Agreement.

    The fact that this is remotely close is just horrific.

    Think I'll go to bed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,092 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    So 59% of the early vote isn't in yet in Ohio.

    And Biden is all about the early vote.

    Yet its all over for Biden in Ohio.

    Logic. Out the window.

    Only 31% of the early vote has been counted in Ohio.

    Depends on whether the votes counted are early votes? In the case of NC yes but in Ohio no. Still think Ohio to Biden.

    Man you're way out on this. Bookmakers follow the exchanges. They're all the same. If they're not people can hedge bets and guarantee a profit. Believe me the betting market is the best indicator you will find.

    Especially when put alongside the alternative metrics we have at this point - exit polls which are dog****, and early counts which give us **** all information whatsoever.

    Bookmakers odds/exchanges have historically been one of them most predictive features usable in election models. I don't know why people **** on them so much. When there's money at stake, **** gets done properly.

    If you want to see how bad things are, look at Florida.

    Clinton defeated there by 100k votes in 2016. Biden defeated by nearly 400k votes.

    This is a humiliation for the Democrats.

    Talk that there's a lot more mail votes in Ohio, enough to extend the lead or take it back later on

    CNN....I mean its laughable what they're saying at the moment.

    It’s 2020, we shouldn’t have expected any different

    There is an increase in Ohio early vote yet to come.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    He isn't likely to lose any of them. Biden has some leads thanks to the early votes being counted first, but he's getting eaten alive as the counts go on.

    Biden is looking like he HAS to win Wis/Mich/Penn now.

    It is absolutely ridiculous that you continue to say the same thing over and over and when it has been pointed out to you that it is not uniformly down to the early vote. It is not the early vote counted first in every state, when is this going to sink in?

    Biden needs some good news soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Well that was quick 180.

    Well if you read carefully and maybe ask someone for help you might figure it out. It gives as close to perfect information as we can get ..... Because we are dealing with imperfect information.

    But keep that narrative going by all means

    Wisconsin will go blue.

    Biden can still take Ohio. Loads of early votes left to count.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump


    Regardless of who eventually stutters to victory here, it's a ****ing damning indictment on the population of the USA that this orange gowl got so many votes.

    People are sick of PC and kneeling to hypocritical mobs

    The boom will be back big time in America with Trump getting 4 more years. The voters agree.

    What, like, terrorism? Or a boom in covid deaths?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    It seems the shy Trump voter was very real. The polls have got this very wrong and I'm getting that sinking feeling that it will be 4 more years of that charlatan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Only 31% of the early vote has been counted in Ohio.

    Biden's not performing like a candidate who is going to overcome the 8% margin Trump won with in Ohio in 2016. Biden will end up needing to run the board through Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

    The betting exchange will swing over and back a couple of times tonight.

    I like the 15/8 on a Biden victory.

    It's embarrassingly out of touch.

    The fact that a misogynistic, racist tosspot who can barely string a sentence together is the best "non-PC", "non-hypocritical" candidate that could be put forward is still pretty damning.

    If the experts did it wouldn't be 15/8
