    Quok, you're inferring too much from the discussion. Rosser asked specifically what Trump could do for the employment industries in Appalachia and why folks there would still vote for him. Not the economy as a whole, not even as a relative case for what Biden would do for the economy of Appalachia, just why they would vote for him. If, in the specific case of an Appalachian coal miner (not iron miner, auto worker, or plumber), neither Trump nor Biden has provided a reasonable plan, then that miner is probably voting on another basis.
    A number of studies following 2016 concluded it had far more ti do with racial resentment than the 'rust belt' narrative, which certainly has looked more and more likely as support has stuck for him without his helping jobs nor the economy.

    Michigan is leaning red though, isn’t it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Trump 8/11
    Biden 5/4

    Neck and neck again

    So much for me heading to bed in the next half an hour

    Just watching the correspondents on the ground in WI, MN and PA, they arent even going to start counting the stashed early vote for another 5 hours, minimum.

    Biden will win this, but it'll be tight, it'll be messy and it'll be frustrating. Exactly as expected. Night night.

    I'm gonna take that cue myself.

    Could have done without that heart attack few hours.

    At least I got the Jameson Black Barrel open for the night :)

    Night all!

    Seems there's a lot riding on Detroit which has a lot of votes to be counted.

    Georgia has some play yet.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 64 ✭✭Canice Picklington


    Looks like the Republicans have won the NC senate race. No chance of NC going for Biden now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,862 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump

    Trump 8/11
    Biden 6/5

    Same dribble from your mouth all night as if you know for a fact.

    Whatever helps you sleep.

    Just because you want something to happen, doesn't mean it will.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 220 ✭✭thefridge2006


    Biden 2.16
    Trump 1.88

    So close


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Don't think we'll learn anything significant for a good few hours so I'm going to attempt to get some sleep.

    Think it looks marginally better for Trump as it stands. Night folks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,852 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Biden wins Virginia. A big event.

    Looking much less bleak than an hour ago. Mail in ballots look good in Michigan and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania will hopefully come through along with Maine 2 and Nebraska 2

    292-246 a very real possibility.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 571 ✭✭✭rosser44


    Senate currently tied at 43 43

    Doesn't he need more than Mich and Wis though?

    Trump 4/5
    Biden evens

    The early voting and the difference in when they are counted from state to state has put the cat among the pigeons betting wise
