Not when some of those eyes are blinkered.

Why else would be Trump desperate to stack the SCOTUS before the election ?

His plan all along to try steal the election if voter suppression failed to secure his tenure.

My head is spinning listening to the Trump campaign representatives argueing:

 

"We must stop the vote counting in PA"(where they are ahead)

 

But... We have to keep counting in Arizona and Nevada"

(where they are behind)

A waste of time if you ask me but Trump was never going to give in gracefully and with dignity, that wouldn't be in keeping with his character.

Remind me to ask you for next weeks lottery numbers , clearly you are a skilled predictor of events lol

Biden just six votes away from White House Joe Biden has narrowly won the key state of Michigan, taking his total tally to 264.   One can expect more ranting and lying from trump, which only serves to underline he is unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA. For me it is a disappointment trump wasn't thoroughly crushed as he will now carry on furthering immense division and attacking democratic institutions.

See you in court then:

Dignity is coming back to the white house, it may take time for foreign governments to respect the office of president of the USA  again but that will return, Trump only damaged it not completely destroyed it.

Typical Trump and his enablers.  They don't care about being fair, just winning.  Can't wait to see Trump and his gang of criminals walk out of the WH.

I wonder how you would feel if Trump supporters posted the sort of posts about Biden that you guys post about Trump?

It would have to be OK to post it given you guys got away with it for 4 years.

 

Bring it on!  Not much to bash Biden on other than conspiracy theories and his age.  Way more good material for Trump! ????

While  taking  nothing for granted as yet about Biden becoming POTUS after an inevitable legal challenge if it is so decided then Trump's personally paid (?) legal team will continue to have a lucrative time defending him in the many cases listed with  possibly  more to be added.

Bring it on.  If Biden is as dishonest, corrupt, and outright stupid as Trump has been, I'll gladly bash him myself.  That's the difference between Trump supporters and everyone else.  

    Exciting election to watch.  Fingers crossed for Biden.  As others have said, very disappointing that it is close.  So nice to see a number of Republicans slapping down Trump for his atrocious, lying (as usual) early morning comments that he had already won the election--with so many legitimate votes still to be counted in so many states.  Typical crybaby, spoiled Trump.  Interesting that the polls were wrong in many instances, with a few exceptions like Trafalgar.  Had to laugh when FOX called Arizona for Biden, far earlier than most other news outlets.  Trump's hair literally caught fire at the news and that was a fake wig he was wearing at his early morning lying rant.  

Maybe  passing under the radar due to the fascination of the Presidential race is that the Senate seats are tied.  That  must be  causing McConnells  wee chin to  wobble. He may be forced  to be a witness instead of a smug sanctimonious control  freak.

I just read an article that an Australian bookmaker Sportsbet is already paying out Biden to win bets.

Well, as I said already, in my opinion the person with the highest count of popular votes should be president, especially if he get's more than 50% of all votes casted.

Most Americans would agree with you as far as what should be.  But the USA operates under the rule of law, the Constitution specifies the process of electing the president.  Changing the Constitution is difficult as was intended.  So the Electoral College is what we got.

10:00 Bangkok Time 264 Biden versus 213 Trump. 270 needed to win. So much for your prediction?

Maybe Trump will get a show on FOX where he is beloved.  I will be happy if I never see his face again.

 

As on observer who is not keyed into all things American. How likely is it to change with Biden being ahead so much. How are his chances to score an other 6 points to get to the 270 ? Is this likely to completely turn around when they go on counting votes ?

The swearing-in ceremony for Biden in January will be fun to watch. Do we think Trump will be able to keep his mouth shut and smile gracefully for the cameras? I suspect he simply won't attend. Alternatively he could leap to his feet just as Joe places his hand on the Bible  ...

Last night (Thai time) Trump was roughly 100,000 votes ahead of Biden in Georgia. 2 hours ago he was 40,000 ahead. An hour ago he was 30,000 ahead.

 

There's power in those postal votes - Atlanta is very blue, and so is Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. Over the next 24 hours, with Nevada most likely also in the pot, there's not much doubt that Biden will cruise across the 270 magic number.

It is now mathematically almost impossible for Trump to reach 270.

If the Senate is tied who will have the deciding vote in the event of a tie? Kamala Harris? Could be interesting times.

Thank you, for your information. I really hope bidden wins. I don't know much about him but Trump is a total disaster.

 

I did expect there to be a larger margin though. Did not expect so many people from the US still to support him. 

The US considers this an election.

The rest of the world considers it your IQ test.

In an amazing coincidence,  pollsters have discovered that the  IQ  of both candidates is within 2 percentage points of their ages !

I don't think that the IQ of trump voters is in any doubt. I see it as more of a cognitive test.

 

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV."

 

I repeat, "Person, woman, man, camera, TV."

 

How good am I? perfect score, I should be president.

No matter who wins it just shows America is as split as 4 years ago. 

Just like many countries in Europe. 

 

Kinda sad that they elect a president that probably will die while sitting in the white house and it's scary that those 2 senior citizens are the best US can put on the list.

And if the republicans want to win next time, maybe they shouldn't fear sending their votes by letter. 

(I assume Biden will catch up on Trump when all letter votes has be counted) 

 

It's absolutely crazy how many democrats used that option compared to republicans.

 

Ohh well, it's been fun to watch as always and the circus show will probably continue tomorrow if Trump lose. 

 

Personally I think if Trump lose it's because of the way he handled the covid-19 crisis. 

Many Americans including democrats actually got their jobs back and had more money between their fingers during his term, but he totally dropped the ball when it comes to handling this covid-19 situation.

Social media and the left/right news networks contribute greatly to that, but I'd say the #1 cause of that in America in the past few years was Donald Trump. The thing is many republicans also do not like the guy, they just swore fealty to him out of necessity. I'd guess that once Trump is out of office there will be many more republicans willing to dismiss him and his voice is going to be dampened. 

Large crowd of "Proud Boy" types have gathered outside the Arizona count. Many openly displaying guns. Count has been stopped.

 

Only in America.

Latest from Pennsylvania: Trump lead is down from 600,000 to 164,000, with 763,000 mail ballots still to be counted (overwhelmingly Democrat). So PA is now a real possibility for Biden.
