U.S. Presidential Election 2020

[moXJO]

The voting system in US means about 8 states matter as the rest are pretty set in voting patterns.

Its mind boggling to think that even the experts are not sure which way its going to go.
It could be a landslide either direction.

Polls still tipping Biden.

But Trump is flying state to state to rally support. That's 3-4 rallies a day. His voters are energised.

Biden has well organised grassroots support. They have ballot harvesting down pat into a very efficient system . I think this will push him over the line in the end.

Biden clear favourite on betting agencies as well.

The young generation and alternative sources of media will pull in for the Trump victory. The left has been in power for decades, the young has “woke” and want change. Rather a simple life than a life of lies (media, newspapers, social media & tv)

Indeed ! Very promising. Lets look forward to a full and fair counting of all the votes in this election.

If the Trump campaign believes it's story they have everything to gain from an election free of dirty tricks..

I'm going with Trumpy to win.


Reminds of Trump v Clinton, how the media got it so wrong.

Florida is staying Red based on early voting compared to the last election.
In 2016, D's had a lead of 88K from early voting and Trump won > 110,000 on the day.
This year looks like it'll be evens on election day and with a larger % of hispanic vote, Dems will be blown away.

I think it is a rerun of last time, polls will be wrong again

I think it is a rerun of last time, polls will be wrong again

Did they have the same huge pre-poll turnout last time ?

I think a lot of people have made up their minds and I don't think it's good for Trump.

Just been watching the 60 minutes interview with Trump.

I cannot see how this will attract support from anyone bar totally one eyed Trump supporters. Honestly I can see hundreds of thousands of people who may have been Trump supporters in 2016 unable to vote the same way again.

And I can see hundreds of thousands of Republican supporters also deciding this man is just not suitable to be President. Let's see what the next polls look like. I predict a 1-2% increase in Bidens vote as a consequence of these interviews.

Biden clean sweep, white house, reps and senate.

Trumps populist gambit for power is over.

As for markets it wont matter COVID will determine the economy and the fed will move the market.

Remember the US economy fares better under Democrats than GOP and any talk of the left running the White House is lacking knowledge of the system, history not to mention naïve.

Corporations run US politics who do you think pays the now billions for the election.

The only way the Republicans can hold office legally is systematically undermining the US electoral system to minimise the voting capacity of people who won't vote Republican. This is behind the 1001 ways local officials create laws and practices that disenfranchise the (wrong) people from voting.
Check out who is doing this and how they work.

This isn't a a two line story. It has detail, facts and research into a long, sustained history of successful efforts to undermine the US electoral system.

I think the overall public response from the 60 minutes interviews with Trump and Biden will tip this election into a Biden landslide.
Trumps inability to articulate any sort of policy beyond being re elected and his aggression against anything resembling a "tough"question makes him completely unsuitable to be President.

Fact check: Trump makes at least 16 false or misleading claims to '60 Minutes'

By Daniel Dale, CNN

Updated 1347 GMT (2147 HKT) October 26, 2020

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump continued his dishonesty blitz in an interview with Lesley Stahl of "60 Minutes."

An edited version of the interview aired on CBS Sunday night. Trump released the full 38-minute interview on Facebook on Thursday, pre-empting the network because he said he was unhappy with Stahl's questioning.

Despite Stahl's persistent efforts to challenge him, Trump made false or misleading claims about several topics on which he has been frequently deceptive in recent months -- most notably the coronavirus pandemic.

We counted at least 16 false or misleading claims in the extended footage Trump posted, 10 of them pandemic-related. Below is the full list. We've noted the instances in which the Trump quote we are checking is from the extended footage the President posted rather than the footage televised by CBS.

Is it a bit dodgy to know the numbers before election day?
