ok if trump wins.........

 

tough to see how it happened the first time. the 2nd time ? 

 

fool me once shame on.....shame on you. fool me.... you can't get fooled again.

The pollsters said they  adjusted for the mistakes last time. Fivethirtyeight.com apparently got it right many elections in a row...until Trump. What is it? Hillbillies hiding under rocks.  

I should say Biden is still some chance.

I wonder if anyone regrets there vote when they see how Trump carried on tonight. No..I guess it was nothing new.

Why don't you ask yourself why polls have been very accurate for decades and all the sudden they are way off involving two elections with Trump.

 

Go figure that out, and btw it is not "hiding Trump voters", and get back to us with some better informed comments.

US election: European markets slide as Trump 'declares war' by prematurely claiming victory

European markets slid at the open on Wednesday, shortly after Donald Trump prematurely claimed he had won the US election despite millions of votes remaining uncounted in a tight race.

bizarre claim? Why? All signs on green for Trump.

 

Watching the screen now showing Biden on 220 and Trump on 213.  Also has popular vote showing Biden at 49.9% against Trump at 48.6% Wouldn't call that green for Trump at the moment.  But I think it all rests and the swing from the postal votes.

I guess you have a better answer so please share it. If it involves widespread subterfuge by polling companies please provide some evidence. Polling companies succeed based on there success. Credible polling companies make money from being correct. I am interested in what your theory is.

The hidden Trump supporters is a thing.

 

I don't see them hiding. They just don't feel the need to shout from the rooftops about how awesome and kind and virtuous and smart they are because they vote the way they do (like the left do, both sides of the pond).

Suppose Biden gets Nevada and Pa, Trump the rest ...

I think that for many if you believe in something you don't mind speaking up about it. Polling isn't about shouting from the roof tops - just answering a few questions about your opinion. For some reason polling companies struggle to get the full picture with Trump. Either Trump voters are shy or maybe the polling companies are asking the wrong people.

Then you should know that Trump has only made 1 speech post results.

Who said it was post results?  Trump has been setting the scene for days threatening legal action and taking it to the supreme court and that is when he said about not counting the votes after the deadline. It is true that I have been watching this for four plus hours so far today.  But most of yesterday and the day before. Thankfully the various States have ignored him.

Considering that Michigan and Pennsylvania still have 20 and 36% of votes to count, and that these were early votes, there could be a surprise  in those 2 states.

You did. " So Trump comes out fighting as predicted, claiming that he has won the election and asking for all vote counting to stop now."

 

You should probably get some sleep.

I hope he wins the electoral by one vote and loses the popular vote by 10%.

 

In my opinion the whole US election system is rigged,

 

Any candidate that get more than 50% of the popular vote, should be declared winner.

the thread of this thread use the term "betting odds", (yes, I know what that is)

 

however,

to what extent are these odds derived from calculated probabilities of lose/win

and to what extent just a tally of the number and size of placed bets?
