    nonsense. concession is not required for the winner to take office.




    You are correct. I never said that. What I did say was not nonsense.



    I said that concession makes the other steps merely a rubber stamping. Concession means that those other steps will not be challenged. No concession is an indication that they will be challenged.



    You might not be aware of those steps, but unfortunately you might have to learn about them over the next few months. It will not be, as you seem to think. just the election and then the army dragging him out of the Whitehouse




    There is no point coming on here and getting aggressive against someone who is just telling you something that you don't know.

    "Supreme Court will allow Pennsylvania to count mail ballots 3 days after Election Day

    The justices divided 4-4 Monday, an outcome that upholds a state Supreme Court ruling that allowed election officials to receive and count ballots until Nov. 6, even if they don't have a clear postmark."

    Not sure what means. Does it mean a date cann0ot be discerned? Can the postmark be missing altogether?

    If trump wins the election because of PA ill be super suspicious of any biden votes showing up for the next 3 days.

    I think Biden is going to take Michigan. Could hit the 270 today.

    It'll be great to see the end of Trump but I won't just be happy with that. I'd like to see Biden pass 300. That would mean winning Georgia and Pennsylvania.

    They've good reason to be disappointment. GOP Senate, thin House majority and a strong left wing faction in the party which will undermine him at every move. That's before you take into account that a large chunk of the population believe he will be an illegitimate president. It's not a recipe for getting much work done.

    As long as Trump is gone a lot of people will take that.

    is ACB not official yet? or why only 8 votes?

    cant see how you can count votes with no postmark (if that is what the above means)

    I think Bidens fear of the coronavirus on the campaign trail really hurt him. Optics wise.

    But I have one question - are we sure the Trump really had Covid19? I doubt it.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Like it or not folks, Donald Trump ain't going nowhere. He is going to harrange Joe Biden/Kamala Harris for the next 4 years. He'll either be setting it up for himself or Ivanka or the sons and theyll win. The support for Trump is passionate.

    The economy is going into the stink. Joe Biden will be under serious is pressure to avoid lockdowns.

    Policemen are still going to be killing black people. BLM/Antifa are going nowhere either and BLM are going to have to at some stage account for where all of that money has gone to. Black people are starting to move away from the Democrat party too.

    Biden will have to at some stage address his Ukraine and China links. He is in an accountable role now. A candidate is a free member of the public, available to answer or not answer any question he wants to. A President Can't. There will be a time when he has to address it.

    Kamala Harris is probably more unpopular than Hillary Clinton. That take a lot of going. She ain't winning an election in 2024 as the nominee.

    The fringe elements of the Democrat Party will elect a crazy to run in 2024. Biden won't last that Long. The Republicans will run a Trump.

    Donald Trump had the full arm of the media and Big Tech against him for 4 years and still managed to get 48% of the vote. It's remarkable what he achieved.

    All that has been won by the Democrats is a dumpster fire that will tear their party apart from over a decade. The Republicans are united under the Trumps.

    trump was always a convenient idiot for the GOP. they will abandon him en masse now.

    I'm not surprised this was a lot closer than the polls suggested, but
    I think Biden is going to edge it.
    Donald will then concede graciously and stand down his lawyers. I just saw a pig fly past the window.

    Where do Republicans go from here though? Remember all the high profile ones were originally vehemently opposed to Trump, said he wasn't fit for office. They changed their tune but now have to decide either to keep the cult alive or go back to more traditional conservatism and away from the bombast and cries of fake news.

    Mitch mcconnell if he wasnt so old :pac: , but in reality theyll have to prime somebody a little more acceptable to moderates but still with a bit of conservative fire

    His wife and son had it too. As did many of his staff.

    Were they all in on it?

    Did the 7 or so medical doctors lie?

    I think he definitely had it.
    He luckily had access to excellent healthcare.

    I think Biden did the right thing, the amount of cases which will come out of those rallies will be huge imo

    Are they though? Isn't that the kind of thinking that pretty much helped Hillary Clinton to lose in 2016? I'm not entirely sure the American public is that fond of dynastic politics.

    Yes. Trump took a peaceful, functioning, powerful economy respected across the world and turned it into a Dumpster fire (your own words) in 4 years. Wow.

    And if he loses, he'll go to jail.

    If he wins, imagine the SIZE of the fire he can make..

    Pennsilvania seems unlikely for Biden.
    60/40 split of remaining votes still has Trump winning by 250k.
    Using stats from CBS.

    Aye luckily Biden doesn't need PA to win! It will be close but depending where the early ballots are from will determine how much they split for Biden!

    Where does this deep love of nepotism come from? Do you long for the days of feudalism? What on Earth has Ivanka or Donald Jnr. done on merit to prove that they can serve us well? You know that they serve us right?

    I still think this is too close to call, the absentee ballots give biden the edge but if we are in small margins in many states, perhaps recounts might be called for, this could take a while.

    Don’t want to go all Germany in the 30s, but as a keen student of history, certain events unfolded which led to the need to hold elections being abandoned
