    I thought it was doubtful too but many articles and reports on it when I searched. And they're not all dodgy websites!

    Biden lead in Nevada increased to 12k.
    Up to a 1% lead now.

    Wow, good, surprised they haven't finished counting though

    Registered vote doesn't mean everyone will vote. A lot of these estimates look fluid, up one minute down the next. But all he needs is 60k breaking 60-40 and he's fine.

    thats pretty much what i said: 56k

    no.

    :confused: But Obama won it with a huge number of bombs dropped, a record apparently. Seems pretty meaningless then.

    From watching the uptick in results,I'd estimate 45k left, 60/40 split won't do it for Biden. Gap is remaining stubborn. Trump to win by maybe 5000.

    They should give him a toy phone to keep him entertained without subjecting the rest of us to his drivel.

    Trump really needs a Malcolm Tucker on his team

    Sorry, what did I say that was wrong?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    On a personal level, after listening to trump ****e on for the last 5 odd years, this is the ending I wanted for him.

    Looking forward to the follow up series which takes place mainly in prison.

    They will know how many votes went through the postal system. They just haven't sorted them yet

    It's unreal isn't it? I didn't know whether to laugh or despair. This woman is the spiritual advisor to Trump?

    I've always found sections of America quite odd in their unshakable faith which seems to be intertwined with nationalism. In the US, they seem to think God is on the side of the USA and then they take it a bit further thinking God is on the side of Trump (or Biden). And that sort of misguided belief is pretty dangerous.

    I know this country has had our issues with religion but I don't think we quite tied it to our pride in being Irish in the same way the US seem to.

    the weirdest part is that trump has a spiritual advisor.

    Biden is running simply because of Trump. I favoured Sanders in January but given everything we have seen, I really believe it would have been just too easy to play the communism/socialism card there and I think that that would indeed have swung it for Trump.

    Similarly with Warren I think he would have bullied her relentlessly and again, America isn't ready to see that for what it is.

    Biden is not the best candidate the Democrats could have offered, but he is likely the only one who could have won this election.

    Yes, Biden's the type of guy who'd win votes from the middle America Democrat base. The ones further left would probably stomach voting for him because at least it would be a way to remove Trump, so he covers all the ground. I liked Bernie Sanders, but I agree, America is not ready for a truly centre-left candidate (not corporate Dem lite), nor will they ever be, probably, unless some major cultural shift takes place. Hard to see in a country of that size.


    He will never run for office himself again.

    I think it is more likely candidates with real aspirations for office of the President will look to distance themselves from him rather than seek his endorsement.

    He has a history of endorsing candidates who have been beaten.

    I'm not sure how you can say Trump wouldn't run again. I mean, I think we've been surprised at what Trump will do or say, so playing the game of what Trump won't do is a risky one for a person's credibility as a political predictor. I can say with reasonable confidence that Trump probably won't be invited to the Clinton house for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm pretty sure he'll never shave his head. I don't know if he wouldn't run again. He's already floated the idea of a 3rd term in a jokey sort of manner during his campaign for this election just gone, so I don't think the idea of being president from 2024 to 2028 is necessarily unappealing. If the pending legal cases against him go ahead, he may simply not be able to physically run for President what with being in jail, or maybe age will catch up with him. But otherwise? The man is nothing if not incredibly stubborn and absolutely unable to let things go. If he can't claw things back in this election, he'll be looking for revenge of some sort, and running again would be the first possibility he looks, imo.

    Biden's new NV lead reduces to about 11.5k. Probably a lot of different reports from different counties coming in from NV.

    Trump's lawyers must be wrecked

    If as a lawyer you hooked up with him in the 70s and managed to ar**lick him enough, win enough cases you could have put your kids through Harvard and have a home in the Hamptons.
    Staying the course would be difficult though as he appears to be bit of a headbanger and it would be like selling your soul to the devil.

    This morning on RTE radio the US correspondent was on how Trump somehow didn't manage to get his voters out in Arizona.

    He completed failed to mention that Arizona has become a lot more urban, a lot more educated people have moved to the state and one Cindy McCain actively campaigned for Joe Biden.

    Shows how little RTE staff know about the US.

    Also some are seeing it as John McCain screwing Trump from the grave. :D

    There was a reason that Trump and Palin were not invited to his funeral, whereas Obama was asked to speak and Joe Biden was a pallbearer and spoke at service in Phoenix.

    Kushner and Ivanka attended funeral and the McCains were not happy.
    They would move heaven and earth to get rid of Trump.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Don't be surprised to see those rallies keep going; albeit with a "modest" entrance fee.

    Hopefully, there are enough Republicans able to move Trump on once the result is announced. He's embarrassing himself big time with his carry on but I'm sure he doesn't care.
