Hopefully it's the missing Democrat voters that Obama secured but Clinton couldn't.

Trump needs Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa and then one other state from Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire etc or Biden wins 270 to 268

Very unlikely

See someone had a £1M bet on Biden today

Probably Trump himself.

He also pretty much conceded defeat at one of his rallies the other day (can't remember which one). It's also noticeable how absent Mike Pence has become lately.

This is done.

If the election is allowed to run it’s normal course I’d agree Biden will win the popular vote easily, the electoral college nonsense quite handily, as well as the Dems overturning the Senate majority and increasing their Congress lead.

But things with Trump & Co are never normal. I’m expecting shenanigans after the day-vote comes in tomorrow if there’s even a slight sniff of a chance to follow thru on rejecting mail-ballots and steal it.

I have a sneaking feeling that he'll lose either Florida or North Carolina on the night, which should bring all the shenanigans to an abrupt end.

We debate it to death on this message board, without ever achieving any consensus or agreement, and instead use it to entrench ourselves in existing divisions.

Do you have zero concern about the way Trump seems to have a cavalier attitude to democracy? Does that not feel like a bit of a worry at all?

I'm genuinely curious. If Biden had spent the past 6 months saying 'it's going to be rigged!' with no real evidence to back it up, would you not be worried about someone like that getting the keys?

3 years of a made up Russian hoax by Hillary Clinton to impeach Trump and overturn the last election and you’re talking about things being rigged. Far more worried about an old crook with declining cognitive function with his fingers on the nuclear button. Just to add his running mate Kamala Harris who’s so unpopular with her own party voters that she dropped out of the primaries with less than 2% of the vote. How on earth are those two going to keep American out on top. No chance.

The Russia soundbite aside (her emails! His birth certificate! his son!), one more question, and I appreciate your answers honestly;

So if Biden won (and I know he won't cos he has dementia/Kamla Harris is unpopular etc), would you prefer Trump to NOT hand over the keys to power and instead keep himself in charge?

Simply don't understand why you are all interested in our election. Trump or Biden will make little difference to what is important i.e., the economy. COVID and world trade will influence that as does the economies of the main US states (California, NY).
