    Noticable how a lot of top rank republicans are keeping fairly stum.

    Of course after the Trump spawn came out and started demanding the GOP start backing daddy, a few GOPs like Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy are parroting the Trump rants.

    The rest like Mitch McConnell are trying to distance themselves or as someone on CNN said making sure they are on this sinking ship or associated with this trainwreck.

    And the fact that Trump is now attacking ordinary lower ranked Republicans including those in likes of Georgia that had actually backed him is going to copper fasten top rank Republicans resolve to disassociate themselves from the Trumps.

    The Trump family think Daddy is the GOP and that the voters will vote Trump before Republican.
    That may be true of some, but others they might find may not.

    Where will the incentive be for evangelicals to back a Trump in future when they already have control over Supreme Court which is what they have wanted most.

    The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. They all know this fella is making baseless claims. They all know that he's long since crossed the line. The only reason they aren't asking him to rein it in is because they don't want to alienate whatever proportion of the 70m that voted for him who believe his lies.

    It's a clear case of them putting the party and their own interests first. At some stage, you have to do the right thing above your own interests. If that point isn't when the President is openly undermining democracy, when the f**k is it?

    Without any proof?? All of America's intelligence has shown that Russia interfered in the election, including the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee which was chaired by... yes.. a Republican.

    The only 'proof' these types would ever accept would be if Mad Vlad Putin turned up in a counting center with shipping-container load of DJT votes on his truck and dumped them on the tables.

    I mean, they are great defenders of Russian politics and Putin so much, yet are incapable of learning about their approaches to foreign election interference.

    Explain what you mean by that. If you are part of twitter then you can't objectively comment on bias

    Watching CNN, it's looking like Biden is closing in and moving ahead in a number of states. I'm not a member of twitter so don't know what you mean?

    The Trumpists on here were trying to convince us that the Democrats had no ground game.

    So much excitement now for a man who is almost 80 going into the White House.

    Expectations must be high that racial and income inequality will be addressed in the next 4 years.

    (This is usually when people mention the limitations of the office).

    Gotta admit it was funny when someone on Fox, Carlson I think, got roasted for mispronouncing it and a few days later Joe Biden announced her as his running mate and did the same thing.

    That said, mispronouncing names is a pet hate of mine so I understand her annoyance. I work with a few people with unusual names and it's the height of laziness not to learn how to say it right.
    We guess how to say names and words based on what we already know and there are plenty of names that follow the same pattern as her name but stressed on the middle syllable. It's an unusual name for many so hardly their fault when they opt for saying it like At 'lan-ta and not 'At-lan-ta!

    There is one thing we can thank Trump for and that is showing the world how fooked up a huge chunk of the US population really is and that includes supposedly pretty educated people right up to the highest public offices in the land.

    The image the US once potrayed on the world stage for the last more than half century has been absolutely blown to bits.

    The moral superiority that they claimed with the oldest democracy in the world is in shreds as the current president acts more like Robert Mugabe than George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F Kennedy who were amongst the most distinguished holders of the office of President of the USA.

    To all the world it looks like the current leader is an unhinged loon.

    One number Trump doesn't seem to give two cr**s about is 122,000.

    That was the number of new confirmed covid cases yesterday of his citizens.





    Sneering at a whole population (~67 million) as being f*cked up is part of the problem, it's easy to sneer at these people , you don't know their position, their situation, if you are an unemployed miner from PA and this guy comes along and tells you he'll get your job back - who can blame him for voting for him ??

    Is he gonna say I must do the right thing and vote for Biden as he is acting on climate change or is he going to do the thing that will house and feed his kids ?

    - now imagine this for millions of people.

    The democrats have been doing this same sneering for some time now, they way they get these people back is by offering them something, they had a candidate that would have gotten a chunk of votes back - Tulsi Gabbard, but Clinton said she was a "russian agent" and would appeal to Trump voters!!

    What ? isn't that what they need ? to win voters from the other side to win the election ?

    How else are you going to win ?
    millions of Obama voters voted for Trump, I don't think they became racist bigots in the 4 years between Obama's 2nd term and Trump.

    Speaking of Mugabe what about his voters ? would you cast them all as maniacs like he is ?

    I don;t think so, the situation is a little more complex than that.

    Joe Biden had a great line in his speech "There are no blue states or red states but the UNITED states"

    - fantastic, now act on that Joe!!

    Absolutely incredible achievement. Imagine telling somebody four years ago you could turn Georgia - Georgia - Dem.

    Far from total fantasy unfortunately. The Proud Boys showed up locally to intimidate a local business last Friday. I’ve seen numerous “parades” of pickups with huge Trump and Confederate flags driving around blatantly trying to intimidate ( similar to the incident with the Biden campaign bus last week).

    Been in the US 30 years. Never seen anything like this before.

    See, not much actual violence, but in your head there is anarchy.

    Highly recommend you check out Andy Ngo's Twitter page where he has daily videos of ACTUAL violence from radical leftists. Nightly destruction of businesses, window smashing, attacking police and intimidating bystanders.

    That's been going on for months, actual tangible violence, but a few Trump supporters drive pick up trucks and "you've never seen anything like it". This double standard drives me nuts.

    I'd vote for the guy who has experience in politics and who therefore knows how to get my job back. And I certainly wouldn't trust anything a guy who has history of lying about his wealth etc. says.

    It's the impending departure of the incumbent that is of much more interest. As he has said he'll be a transition President. He also has a lot more experience of crossing the aisle to get deals. It'll be a different presidency.

    Check out the Daily Mail this morning, it reports on a growing number of Republicans criticising Trump. The Governor of Georgia has flatly stated that he has not heard any credible reports of election fraud at all, which is something considering how crucial Georgia is to the result.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Jaysus, Paddypowers odds of trump winning just rocketed down from 4-1 to 9-1, Biden to win 1-20.

    Looks like it's in the bag for Biden.

    Exactly, and that would drive a lot of usual democrat voters to vote for Trump - but they are racist bigots apparently ...

    As of September over 93% of the BLM and other left-wing protests have been peaceful and of those that included violence some of that was instigated by right wing agitators.

    The bolded part of your statement is very applicable to you.

    I think most people are realistic enough to know that what is best for America in the short term to rid it of DJT. Even his own supporters are tired of him and his schtick. Literally anyone would do, hence an 80 year old, one of the worst candidates in living memory beating him.

    Biden was 1/40 a short while ago.

    that may have washed 4 years but it doesn't work any more. he had 4 years. voters must know by now he is incompetent and unfit for the role.

    It was actually 1/40 for Biden earlier.

    The anti socialism brigade in the democrat ranks should be very careful of threats to kick out the squad and others like them..

    As you can see one woman being able to engage and energise that many people should be welcomed.
