Really ? Latinos and blacks filtering back ? I'll give you a few Latinos. Blacks ? Maybe if they also fit into some of the other catergories of current Trump supporters - QAnon, Anti vaxxers, White Supremacists ( not sure there..) or Hard Right Evangelicals.

Umm union members

I reckon *any polls are suspect these days, but this analysis is encouraging for the God Emporer

I noticed on some Far Right news sites that, somehow, if they "adjusted" the polls properly, Trump was going to win in a landslide.
One of the ways they constructed this story was premising that registered Republicians who returned their votes were all voting for Trump.

And yet this an election like no other where one of the most significant anti Trump campaigns is coming from long term registered Republican voters adamant that the man cannot be allowed to continue in office. They are rejecting Trumpism not what they see as conservative Republican values.

These are sort of ads being run to explain to Republican voters why they should reconsider. IMV they will be tipping point across the country.

Donald Trump Jr and father play down Covid deaths as daily toll nears 1,000
President tweets that deaths are ‘way down’ while Don Jr tells Fox News deaths from coronavirus are ‘almost nothing’


Don Jr sat for an interview with Fox News on Thursday night during which he called critics of the Trump administration’s approach to the pandemic “truly morons” and said that deaths from Covid-19 in America right now are “almost nothing”.

Don Jr. falsely claimed on Thursday that the number of Americans dying from the coronavirus amounts to “almost nothing.”

An average of 1,000 Americans a day are dying from Covid-19 right now.pic.twitter.com/oHNzQtfDOS

Meanwhile, having said at a rally last weekend that “you don’t see death” at this stage of the pandemic in the US, Donald Trump reiterated in a tweet on Friday morning that deaths are “WAY DOWN” in the US, mass testing is exaggerating the numbers of infections and hospitals are coping.

As coronavirus deaths in the US approach 1,000 a day in the current record surge of infections, Donald Trump and his son, Don Jr, appear intent on publicly disputing the lethality of the outbreak at repeated opportunities.

In fact, many hospitals across the US, especially the midwest and upper midwest heartland and Texas are on the brink of being overwhelmed and are setting up field hospitals and calling in the military and assistance from state governors.

Demorats getting ready to accept the results of the election again.



They won't be needed.

 

[spooly74]

If this is even close to being true, it'll be a bloodbath for the Dems.

 

[Knobby22]

Saw interestinug article in the Age today, that if the Democrats get up there will very likely be antitrust lawuit to Google of $1 trillion dollars which regulators are asking for and will lead to the company being split.

I hope so. All the big tech needs to be pulled in. Twitter and Facebook need to be classed as publishers as well.

I’d bet Trump will do the same in 2nd term, and include FB & Twitter, too.

Maybe, hasn't announced it or acted in this term though.

 

[wayneL]

He has made some comments about though, IIRC.

Wouldn't surprise me if he did. Doesn't matter who wins, I think is would be in the US national interest (and the world) for them to be eviscerated IMO.

Agree but really needs bipartisan support to fly.

All you people with bad cases of T D S - this is what your clinging to...

This is a must read from Stan Grant as he goes through what it means for Australian interests / security with Trump in the White House.

If you don't like the idea of speaking Chinese look away

Trump's bid for re-election election holds a cruel irony for Australia

Australia learned quickly. When it came to Trump, it was best to be always be on guard, writes Andrew Probyn.

And again Grant

If you want to understand the 2020 US election, 1968 is a good place to start

The story of 1968 hides the true genius of America. It is a message we need in 2020

Joe Biden wants to unite America but his more important task, if he becomes president, will be to govern over difference, to hold the warring parties together and most of all, to compromise, writes Stan Grant.

[dutchie]

Thank God Trump stands up to the Chinese. The only President to do so.

 

[dutchie]

Biden can't even tie his own shoelaces, let alone bring the US together (he would not know what that means).
