Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[davek]

It's what Trump has created though. You generate a divide and fuel that fire...both sides are gonna be pretty upset.

He knows it's bleak for him with an extended vote. His objective now will be to get his paramilitaries on the streets threatening mass public disorder over "having the election stolen from him" and collapse the election through the courts.

It wont work.

Wish I shared your optimism Dave, but I think Donald Chimp is edging this one

Come on big Donald

Nope.

Votes to come will allow a surge past Trump.

Stop looking at the map as it now is in the outstanding races and project beyond it.

Trump knows the end is nigh if this election isn't shut down in the next 24 hours.

So do I, but remarkably Biden is back as a 4/7 favourite with the bookies, and Trump is out to 11/8.

Protesting against an election result is a weird thing to do in a fair democracy. Never really understood it. It basically means you are against the democratic process and would prefer something else.

Only if the process was a fair one

Is Davek’s assurances working @Prevenger17 ???

In a way, I'll be sad that we won't get to see 4 more years of trump and his descent into dementia.

I'd forget the bookies and look at the maths. The votes are there for Biden and they aren't for Trump. The bookies are just squeezing cash out of mugs - this moment projecting a Biden win, the next a Trump one. There is certainty to this: if the mail in votes to come go the way they have so far Trump has run out of road.

well if we’ve seen anything over the last few years is that people do exactly that Tim

I can’t stand the Tories and Brexit is a mess - but they got in because more people voted for Tory MPs than Labour MPs

anyway, hopefully Trump doesn’t get a second term. I’m not sure Biden will be a good president, like - it’s just the lesser of two evils (or the best of a bad bunch)

tbf Biden is already further along that path

Goes without saying

But we have fair elections in this country and America. The votes are going to be counted.

Betting markets mean nothing. They said nothing when Biden was 3/1 and they say nothing now, apart from who people are speculating on

I have placed a decent sized wager on Trump at those odds, a bet I’m happy to lose btw, but with my betting head on it looked a no brainer.
