Who thinks Trump will win?

Hope the mods don't mind a new thread, but I just want to see how many of us think Trump will beat Biden in Nov?
I think he just has so much of a populist ground swell and I wouldn't be surprised if 'external' participants get involved in the process.

Do you think he'll get reelected?
Where will that leave America?

He's done nothing to alienate his base support, so its not inconceivable that he will in fact win again.

Biden to win.
Close though.

Trump will win. I just cannot see Biden beating him no matter what way one looks at it.

Too early to say. The momentum has shifted one way and the other, but anything can and will happen between now and the election.

There are rumours that Biden will try to pull out of the debates. If that happens then Trump will romp home. If Biden does well in the debates then I think he has a chance. He would have to do very well though and retreat from the extremism that seems to have overtaken the Democrats.
With the media we see here it is understandable to under estimate the level of support Trump has.

If I was a betting man I would say Trump will win. If he does the US could well rip itself apart.

I have also seen rumours of a planned Trump Trump ticket in 2024.

It is going to be an interesting one and probably the dirtiest campaign in history.

Are those rumours about Biden not debating coming from anywhere but Trump's side? It doesn't matter if those rumours are true, if Trump and his people say it enough, people will think they're true. It automatically puts Biden on the back foot and people will scrutinize Biden's performance at the debates. It doesn't matter that Trump hasn't said one coherent sentence in the last four years, if Biden stumbles once during the debates, there'll be accusations of senility shouted from the rooftops.

He will 100% win, Biden hasn't a hope.

Any better than even odds on Trump anywhere?

No way. Someone like Obama would have a landslide victory. The democrats have picked the worst possible candidate again. Youd have to wonder is it deliberate at this stage.

I did think Trump would be gone for sure but now, I dont think so. Our visas are up for renewal early next year and if trump is in I dont think they'll be getting approved so time to put plans in place.

He isn't a great candidate but trump is pretty terrible and his virus response was bad, I think the thing is viewing from abroad the Democrats seem to have lost control of the situation, the protests at the start and trump's response made trump look bad but now with them dragging on and it appearing like they can't stop them after such strong support initially so it strengthens Trump.
Particularly stuff like riots happening because a (probable) killer shooting himself in the head on video.

Using a comparison from the North, both Loyalists and Republicans use(d) protests/riots to ramp up political pressure but generally they were quite good at turning them off when needed. Democrats can't seem to be able to do that.

I think Biden recognises this now with his references to the violence at some of the protests, how much control does he have of more local democrats though? Some of their actions are probably helping trump, I am thinking of things like the not charging a lot of the rioters but charging the mansion couple (Mark and Patricia McCloskey).

I still think Biden will win but I think the democrats need to draw a firm line in the sand soon or his odds will get better, Biden and Harris should be able to speak that language but as one was a tough on crime DA the other drafted hard hitting crime bills, but does that mean that the protesters won't listen to them and what about the local politicians and legal people, they possibly risk their bases but inaction looses votes elsewhere.

Edit:any Americans here care to comment on how things like CNN are received these days, some of the clips like being in front of a burning building talking about it being largely peaceful don't exactly come across believable.

I know it'll get down and dirty but I don't think they allow sodomy in debates.

It's neither true nor fair to say that only idiots voted for Trump.

Cúnts did too.

Haha quality, with such insight you should probably run for president. Sort everything out with name calling. But not police brutality. Instead of arresting people the police can just go around calling people names.

It's a sad state of affairs when the US has to choose between Trump and Biden.

Surely in a country of over 328,000,000 people, they surely could have come up with at least 327,999,900 better candidates?
