    I think the New York Mussolini is going to lose, but what will be interesting is what happens then. That's when the USA's institutions of state will be put to the test. As their constitution was written with exactly this eventuality in mind - a would be tyrant in the Whitehouse, I don't think Trump will get away with squatting in the West Wing. But what will his hard core supporters do? **** all, hopefully, without the orange goon egging them on.

    Jeff Flake, former Republican Arizona Senator, thinks Arizona will turn blue tomorrow btw; if that happens, Trump's getting swept away.

    269 EC votes each, just for the humour value.

    I'm calling Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire for Democrats which won't be a surprise. Then Arizona, Florida and North Carolina. They'll regain Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Overall total of 323

    Trump may need to be on good terms with Biden to stop him going to jail for the fraud charges from before he was President

    The closer the result the more likely violence breaks out imo. As Trump will cry foul if it’s close and won’t hesitate to agitate the MAGA morons with endless comments and tweets about him being supposedly robbed, together with dozens of legal actions. If he gets wiped out then his bleating will be hollow and the threat of violence will be far less imo.

    It's all about comparisons. It's a bit creepy but Trump would have been trying to finger them and get the parents to sniff his fingers so all in all...

    Yeah, if it’s an obvious landslide, the games up straight away for the orange man. If it’s close he’s already said he’ll send in the lawyers. But that’s a hollow threat, the US constitution is pretty robust. It’s not the lawyers anyone needs to be worried about.

    It may come down to how successful some States have been at targeted voter suppression, but that’s been going on for 100 years and more, not sure how effective it’ll be. For example, “Souls to the Polls”, where black communities in the South gather at churches and walk to the polling stations en masse, is one tradition that’s grown from attempts in the past to intimidate black voters.

    The ruling in Texas over the drive through voting bollocks where the Republicans were trying to deny 127k their vote, gives us a clue. As even the partisan Judge said he had no grounds to agree with the case, as much as I’m sure he’d have liked to. As ultimately there has to be a solid legal case behind these petitions and there simply isn’t, as it’s nothing but obvious attempts at voter suppression.

    My only prediction is that it will hang on Pennsylvania, just as 2000 was all about Florida. I think Trump is trying to get a post-January immunity deal, tbh. I think he'll throw every ****er around him, including his son-in-law and Gulliani, under the bus to get one.

    Now CNN are reporting that local activists in Michigan and Pennsylvania are still very concerned that the African American vote is down proportionally in those two states in comparison with even Hilary. It ain't over yet.

    Trump has been campaigning hard while Biden seems to think he doesn't need to campaign because it's done and dusted. The bookies don't seem so sure anymore, neither. I still think Biden will take it but I don't think it will be the landslide I envisaged.

    Biden quit Texas, and went to Minnesota. Texas is expected deep red, Minnesota according to the polls is expected deep blue
    So why would you drop the red state for a state you are certain is in the bag? I reckon Biden's internal polling shows he's in trouble.

    Trump wins imo, maybe he even gets enough votes on election day that it doesn't even matter what is not yet counted.


    I'm a Compound Media subscriber, they are doing an election night show, and I'm all tooled up and ready to go. Gonna be hilarious, the meltdown in 2016 was amazing entertainment


    Did you see they are boarding up everything already the past few days

    If Trump wins, the left are going to burn loot and riot. (but those peaceful protests don't spread COVID)

    Isn't that what they said Trump supporters would do in 2016? The left has been attacking people and burning **** SINCE 2016 <laugh>

    The left has gotten so bad, that only recently they stalked two Trump supporters and shot one of them dead. (Vice news even allowed the killer to do his own puff piece interview and put it out)
    Another Antifa was moonlighting as an unlicensed security guard and murdered a blue lives matter protester, he's also facing murder 2 charges
    Thankfully the US marshals filled him with bullets when they caught up with him

    Only they cancelled the Texas stops after the campaign bus was threatened and surrounded by MAGA morons. Might have been that.

    Yeah Biden is in trouble though lol.

    Some good odds available on Trump if you really believe that. Might take a few weeks to get your money though as Randy and Otis go around shooting people in the name of democracy.

    All shall be revealed shortly on who's wrong and who's right.

    At least if Biden wins, I'll certainly say "well I got it wrong".

    We know and can name those who will never say that on here <laugh>
