    Hoping for the big win for Trump, and actually I am now wondering if there is a chance of a third term? Rules can be changed and worked around, so I would be very curious to see if Trump is interested in another term in 2024.

    Presidential term limits are in the Constitution. He's not getting those changed.

    Biden has it won, he's got Wisconsin and only needs Georgia or North Carolina - not even Pennslyvania ...

    It's done.

    There is of course a grey area. 60 odd million people have voted for him so far, all holding varying different reasons for doing so, they can't all be racist etc.

    They are either racist/sexist/homophobic or they are actively voting for a racist/sexist/homophobe to take power of their country. The latter is only slightly less awful than the former, really.

    Hopefully they will.

    The Democrats are stupid enough to support it so they can get to run Obama.

    It's almost amazed me how Trump and the GOP have convinced people to vote against their own best interests.
    Not a new thing look at the log cabin Republicans group, I don't think Trump and Pence are exactly advocating for lgbt people...

    Ignorant of the fact that labeling everyone who voted for trump as a racist, homophobic, deplorable bigot is patently false and extremely prejudiced.

    If I ran on the ticket that I wanted to lynch British people outside your house every Tuesday, and also that I'll give you a Harvey Norman voucher once a year, and you voted for me, nobody has to let you off the hook for the sake of the Harvey Norman voucher.

    Who you vote for, who you are willing to vote for, is an extension of what you believe in or consider acceptable. That's the point.

    Trump is miles ahead in PA no?

    Most of the remaining votes there are mail-in or are in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and will break heavily for Biden. It ain't over yet.

    Without the mail ins being counted.

    Looks like Joe is going to get Wisconsin; if he gets Michigan or Georgia he don't need PA.

    Mad night altogether.

    I mean Trump descended into full all Despot territory earlier and its almost forgotten now.

    They're aligning themselves to one. There is no grey area in that.

    PaddyPower have brought Trump back to evens and Biden up to evens

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Chalk McHugh


    Both candidates at 10/11 on Paddy Power

    No there not.

    Trump 8/11
    Biden 11/10

    But Trump was 1/3 about an hour ago before the Wisconsin news. So what looked very giid for Trump is not looking so good on the betting markets now.

    They haven't started counting the mail-in ballots yet, which skew heavily Democrat. That could swing it Biden's way, hence why Trump wants vote counting to stop in PA.

    Not for me, Trump marginally shorter.

    It was 10/11 for both for about ten minutes.

    If you align yourself to a racist, homophobe, etc. don't be surprised or offended when you're called the same.

    I'm not. I didn't vote.

    But to level that accusation at that many million people is extremely prejudiced and ignorant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,321 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    If Biden pulls it off but the Republicans hold the Senate (looks likely) there'll be absolutely nothing done for the next 4 years, which is probably no bad thing.

    EDIT: except the Senate will run a load of committees investigating Biden and Democrats in the House will do the same investigating Trump.

    Will be interesting to go back and read how many times people have posted ''that's it, it's over, done'' and have had the other side say exactly the same. I might actually tot it up.

    He's 700k behind though with 1.4m mail in votes. They'd have to break 1.1m in favour of Biden to catch Trump. That's 80% - 20%. Has he been winning the mail in votes by that much because it seems a tall order.

    Is that gut feeling, or what analysts are saying? I'm a bit out of the loop coz work.
    Mail in ballots working close to 80/20 in Biden's favour and most of the votes to be counted are from historically strongly blue areas.

    It's not ignorant or prejudiced, the bloke is up there saying it to us and them and that's his public views, and they are lapping it up and voting for him!

    Looks like right now Biden will take it , got to say very exciting stuff,
