Irrespective of who wins,it's an appalling indictment on Democracy that shops have been boarded up in advance of riot and disorder!!! This could set a dangerous and damaging precedent for the U.K in the future....
 
Former National Security Adviser to President Trump, John Bolton says Donald Trump's comments that he had won the election whilst votes were still being counted were 'the most irresponsible comments a president has ever made' and adds "it's a disgrace".

From a purely selfish UK pov then I'd say trump winning would be better for us as a country moving forward. From a financial pov for stocks & shares etc at least in the short to medium term, a trump win would be best.

For stability and long term relationships both within the USA and world wide, would it be the best? I'm not convinced. But it's a lot like the last election here....the opposition is just that poor that you can't see them doing any better and possibly worse. The democrats will never have such an easy chance again and they chose a very poor candidate to run against trump. This should have been cut and dry for them but they messed up

Postal votes are not susceptible to manipulation, are they? They know that in Birmingham, parts of London and other areas with minorities many with a poor grasp of English. No posting votes in on their behalf or "advising" them what to do. No chance of anything like that happening in similar areas in the USA of course.
Postal votes have always been iffy.
Trump's ex.communications director who said he would get hammered is now eating humble pie on Sky news.

They're not iffy, they're very tightly controlled and cases of voter fraud are tiny.

Oregon was the first US state to switch entirely to mail ballots, back in 2000 and they've so far processed 100m votes in various elections.

During that entire time, they've found a grand total of 12 cases of voter fraud.

Lots of people said it would be a Biden landslide. Including some on here. Wiser, older, heads said that would not be the case.
 
What Stephen means he says some things he agrees with. If Einstein had said things he disagrees with he would say he was an idiot.

Yeah, the father of general relativity an idiot, like that would ever, ever happen.

Sometimes, just sometimes, you let yourself down a bit.
