I think there was a lot of hope too though.

As a naive person as I am I've often thought of the same thing here in Ireland. Why are these ex-teachers and other failed professionals running our country. Get some successful business men in to run this country! Some people to tell it like it is. No politics.

Alas Trump delivered on no front. Just created his own swamp.

I think this was the biggest disappointment, you kind of expect a president to move beyond the election rhetoric, but it started arguing over his inauguration crowds and never stopped. On top of that every policy decision was taken using some sort of neanderthal brain, "Wall" (didn't work), "tax cuts" (leading to huge deficits because spending increased), "tariffs" (increased the China trade deficit), as people have noted, dealing in sound bites doesn't work, and every other world leader was able to run rings around him, even the middle-east, he solved problems that didn't need solving, and made the palestinian and Iran problems worse.

Tell me how

Get out of that garden, Trump delivered where it matters and that's your pocket. I'm not even American, haven't been there in a few years and he still put money in my pocket and not just on election night.

Lockdowns and Poverty that's all a Biden vote will deliver, I'd much rather hang with a man not afraid to show you the stars.

I don't want to drag the muslins into it but they say never look up. That's not the world I want.

The US economy growth and reduced unemployment figures under Trump only continued the trend which started in 09 with Obama.

The absolute best that can be said about Trump is that he didn't fcuk that up.
Outside of that, what has he done only created division and lowered the tone in international diplomacy while letting Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea play him.

As for Covid and his response to BLM? Abysmal on both fronts and if he was merely fractionally competent in either respect, he would be a shoe in in this election.

I'm hoping he gets annihilated on Tuesday so the wind and bluster 'nationalists' get knocked back on their arse for 20 years. And I'm still not sure he is going to lose because of the state of politics in the US.

Some hearts about to be broken on Tuesday, no more Trump rallies for the faithful

BBC does a good analysis here based on latest polls.

Get up early Wednesday?

Normally I stay with it through the night, but you have me thinking now that maybe because of the high turnout, an early start Wednesday might be better..? I'm off Tues/ Wednesday..

I took off Wednesday and Thursday. Planning on early sleep and up at 3am Wednesday morning.

4 years ago I stayed up till 1 or 2 then got some sleep and up at 6am and it was already pretty much called it that stage.

I don't think it'll be called that early this time but not much will happen before midnight so I'll be getting up early

Very much depends how close it is.
If it's a Biden landslide, stay up late on Tuesday. It'll be action packed.
If Biden wins Florida by a decent margin, stay up late on Tuesday (Florida is a must win for Trump and tends to indicate early.
If it's very close then getting up early on Wednesday is probably not going to give you a result, or Thursday or Friday.

you'll miss a bit of action getting up at 3am. some crucial states could declare at 1 or 2 am irish time - pennsylvannia, florida, arizona, texas etc

i'm planning on trying to sleep immediately after work, getting up around 10pm and pulling an all nighter.

Biden doesn't even need either Pennsylvania or Florida.

North Carolina and Arizona would put him over 270 without them. He has so many more paths than Trump.

he has more paths, but PA is the only real tossup there, Trump is taking FL, AZ and NC

Erm, it's far from definite that Trump is taking those 3 states.

Not a chance. Except maybe maybe he could squeak Florida. AZ and NC are lean Biden states and no poll shows different.

The FBI has opened an investigation. It’s now a federal matter.

I think he meant like a rat running for the nest, which might be in Abu Dhabi or Russia or whatever in the case of the #IMPOTUS.

Thats it, Florida locked down, potential win in PA,

Path to victory is under 290 , PA or a rust belt state with NV, NC, AZ and possibly NH as the kickers.

I'd imagine there'll be all sorts of noises on the drive back to Mar a Lago alright.

Trump supporters drive alongside and in front of Biden bus.

That is some reall dumb ****, including Trump tweeting about it of course.

But I'd just like to point out that it took just one report from unnamed sources, nobody on the record to take that at face value.

It's odd what some people have come to see as acceptable behaviour after just 4 years.
