    Which would lose them the WH in the US right now...

    If the Democrats want to consistently win in the Senate and indeed win the WH with the ease that they win the overall popular vote , they absolutely MUST find a way to connect with voters outside the Urban/Suburban areas.

    For all their merits , AOC et al are not that connection.

    Look at the Senate and House races - They did pretty poorly because they don't have a message to reach those voters.

    Equally - The GOP will never take back the house unless they find a way to connect with Urban voters.
    Yeah, I think the Dems have their work cut out to find a path to enough voters. I suspect Kamala will play a big part in manage that bunch of feral cats.

    Watching CNN here, talking about Biden being a leader and a hero. Can't be just me, I'm not impressed with Biden at all. I'm not an expert but I would say his victory is more down to people wanting Trump out more than wanting Biden in.

    I feel like he was the beige compromise candidate that was needed to play it safe and win. Rather than appealing to one group of people massively, it's more a case of his not turning off a larger group - like Hilary Clinton did.

    The next election will be fascinating. Whether the Republicans carry on down the Trumpism route and whether Biden stands again .

    We will take it.

    Yes, anyone instead of Trump but still, he's not very impressive.

    This crowd have any legitimacy?
    I know nothing about them but how anybody trusts Twitter sources is being me. Between agendas and lies it's a cesspool.
    And while we all know how it's going to go there's still enough votes for it to change so too early to call.

    Isn't that what happened in 2016?

    From Twitter..

    “Fox News is instructing its talent not to call Joe Biden the "President-elect" when the network calls the race”

    Ridiculous stuff...

    Source?

    The butthurt on Fox is hilarious, votes nullified by coronovirus abuse apparently,

    Once inaugurated Biden is going to be the most popular US President in history.

    Oh yes, but as I said, I think the increased vote is more down to wanting Trump out.

    He is dying a very slow death. I thought this would be well over by now.

    I'd say it must be absolutely killing Trump with the pace of his protracted demise.

    I picture many things being flung around the White House :D

    There is a delicious ironic beauty in Mike Pence losing his job to a woman.

    He is the anti-Trump but he's also very good at working with people of all hues, a very key skillset at present.

    why is Biden camp wanting to get to 270 and declare so fast if the above is above board.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,116 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    Biden/Dems better make regular people's lives better, by all and any means possible, or there'll be a queue of Trumps facing them in 2024.

    Biden is essentially a "horse for courses" selection.

    He was the only possible candidate on the Democratic side that could have won this Election.

    Any of the others that put themselves forward would not have been in the ball game in those mid-west States , that's just reality.

    As I said earlier , the Democrats need to use the next few years to work on a story that resonates with voters outside the blue cities and find a voice to tell it.

    I actually don't think that is Kamala Harris either to be honest in the long term.

    She again was a "horses for courses" choice to bridge the gap between Biden and the left wing of the party to avoid the "Bernie Bros" impact from 2016.

    How? It's not like he has any input into this or anything he could do about it.
    I despise the man but there's nothing in that.
    Even if it was a gay person it'd mean nothing.

    On Tuesday they said the election was over. Now they don’t want it over? Team Trump has a bipolar disorder.

    Oh right, I don't know much about all of that. I'm just going on what I've seen at press conferences, interviews etc. He seems very insincere but I've never met the man.

    Don't forget McConnell in the Senate - there's more than one leg to the US government.

    dont get how this is exciting, from wed morning it was obvious biden had it, they really should have counted mail in first, then trump wouldnt be whingeing so much.

    Trump is not a likeable person. He has a bad mouth on him and many people can see he's a bad leader. His stance on covid was atrocious and not so long ago coming out and telling his people that covid is nothing to be feared. That message travelled across the world and to be quite honest, it's very dangerous. Governments the world over was trying to control the spread of this novel coronavirus and for very good reason, and Trumps message would have given many people a license to ignore guidelines on isolation and testing and other public health measures.

    He's not a good person and he only really cares about himself. He's obnoxious and arrogant and he has a bad, filthy mouth on him. Definitely not something you would want to see in a leader of a country.

    It's exciting because so many people the world over wants to see him out. For a few days it was very close between the two of them.
