Aladdin Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Well my £20 on Trump getting 210-239 is currently hanging in there.... Trump can only win one of Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania for me to win. Am I deluded or do I have a chance? [emoji38]Decent chance of Biden taking pennsylvania and Georgia. Trump will hold NC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 We're going to have to disagree on that one then mate. I mean right now, I would say the vast majority of those who voted for him are shouting foul play and parroting his nonsense about stopping votes, how and when ballots should be counted,how fraudulent mail in voting is etc. exactly as he conditioned them to think over the past couple of months. Its way beyond credulous imo It's almost impossible to find a moderate republican on twitter atm (yes I know) pointing out that this is the way it's always been done. I mean is it not verging on 50% of repubs think there's some truth in QAnonI wouldn’t say it’s about the vast majority being indoctrinated especially if you’re basing it off Twitter which ultimately is a niche reflection of the Republican base. There is definitely a hardcore group of psychos fully signed up but if it was the vast majority then the hysteria about a second American Civil War would have some validity. There’s obviously a myriad of conflicting impulses behind voting for someone like Trump or a concept like Brexit but I think for a lot of people it’s just taking a gamble on your already shitty lives and knowing even if it doesn’t work out you’re making the people who you hate’s lives worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there was the time when life in the Weimar Republic was crap so people voted for change. After all, how much worse could it get? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The Dems have had an absolute shocker here and Biden scraping a narrow victory isn't going to paper over the cracks. The fact that Trump has increased his vote share by around 4 million and with hispanics, women and blacks is incredible and pretty damning for the Democrats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if you assume the count hasn't been rigged by Trump supporting counters. Which based on the behaviour of the average Trump supporter, shouldn't be a shock to anybody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghPar1975 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Watching the Trump lead shrink in some States is something else. Be really interesting to see the next update from Pennsylvania. If Biden gets that turned round all Hell will break loose....makes for good telly though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Jambomo said: I’m not sure I am quite as confident that Trump is out of this as the media seems to be. Still massively close. Trump's chances of winning one of the close races are reasonable, but his chances of winning the three he needs are very slim. According to those in the know, Trump's lead in Pennsylvania isn't enough to make up for the outstanding votes. Even if it is, Biden only needs Nevada (where he is heavy favourite) and Arizona (which looks like it'll be close, but which some have already called in his favour). That's without mentioning Georgia, where some have Biden as slight favourite. If Trump loses that then he's almost certainly done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
