This is exactly the kind of post that gives trump supporters hope. You have been systematically wrong about every meaningful vote since this boards conception, and you have champaign on ice.
The polls suggest Biden is going to win, yet your predication that he is, suggests he isnt

This is the level of craziness we're dealing with from the right. Biden is a "communist" to these nut jobs.
There's literally nothing about Biden that has ever signalled that he's a communist, but because he isn't an unfettered-capitalism capitalist then to these guys he's a "communist".
Anyone calling him a communist just shouldn't be listened to. They've signalled their utter irrelevance.

And that would explain why Covid spreads so much in areas where Trump has rallies. Democrats aren't stupid. They take the virus seriously.
I'm more than happy to see Trumpists gathering together in close quarters during this pandemic. As long as they don't then go near good people. If they want to kill themselves then good luck to them.
On the post just before this one, you are holier than thou, asking people to report someone for trolling, then you follow it with this one, which is basically wishing people dead because of which side of the American political divide they come down on.
Take yourself outside, and have a word with yourself....

That’s what he meant as you well know ...
He didn’t say republicans were stupid, but he DID say democrats weren’t.... so what did you glean from that?
As is the case with this message board, sometimes you have to look between the lines to get the message. Simply not looking doesn’t mean it isn’t there...

It’ll be close but I suspect Trump will sneak it by whatever means. Astonishing really will what he’s done and hasn’t done.
As I’ve said before it’s incredible that these two are the choices. Similar to us last year.
It would be nice to have an adult in charge again though.

Whereas one of the most isolationist presidents in the history of the US, known for erratic and immensely protectionist behaviour, will of course be all ears.

I think Trump will win. I'm not a big fan but Biden is worse- just like Hilary was worse last time.
Biden has been supporting/not condemning BLM/antifa riots (which have been most lawless in Democrat-controlled cities). I think Trump offers a much better "law and order" stance which will be popular in middle America and amongst many hardworking, law-abiding minorities.
Although the two main social media platforms and many big newspapers (even here) have been trying to suppress the story- the Hunter Biden/laptop scandal (and, maybe worse, the media's attempted silence) will also swing some fence voters for Trump (more like against Biden than pro-Trump).
Unfortunately, I think there'll be a fair amount of civil unrest after the election whoever wins. More of a problem in USA because so many have firearms.

Interesting for those who think Trump will win should look at polls like these.
In places such as Kansas which will never vote Democrat are seeing Trump's lead shrink massively.
These are areas where there are no 'shy' Trump voters and openly voice their support for him in very large numbers. He won here last time by a massive 20 points, but it's now down to 7.
That's very telling indeed.

That's just because Trump supporters are Dumb and turn up in their thousands in the middle of a pandemic and don't bother wearing masks. He encourages this.
Biden on the other hand does small socially distanced town halls because he won't put his supporters at risk.

And you do know even Fox News refused to run with that story because there was no evidence to corroborate it. It was made up like most of the rubbish the Umpa Lumpa spews.

He'll probably refuse to move out, and will claim squatters' rights.

The problem for The Donald and people like you is that voters have little time for a flimsily constructed and suspiciously fabricated e-mail story in the middle of a global medical emergency. I get that it’s the last throw of the dice which is why all you Trumpers are going all in on it but it’s probably time to take notice of the indifference.

There is evidence that even in real die-hard Republican country that Biden is gaining ground. It's hard to imagine that the pollsters have got it wrong in these areas, where there are plenty of 'loud and Proud' Americans who show their support for Trump:

Hopefully.
They’ll be some turns yet, Trump will want a big story and if he can’t find one he’ll invent one. If it’s made up or not plenty will no doubt want to believe.

You're right of course that they are two very poor choices but let's be fair about this, even between the two of them Trump is infinitely worse than Biden. It's not even close.

He will. He's been planting the seeds of voter fraud in the psche of americans for 6 months now and lining up lawyers in every state to challenge the legality of the vote. Depsite the fact he uses mail in voting himself.
He knows he's in jail within months of losing. That's why he said last week he'd leave america if he lost. He better well not come here.

Texas is in play. This is a massive sign of where the election is heading. Early voting numbers suggest that this will likely be the largest voter turnout for over 100 years. The larger the turnout, the higher the chances of a democrat victory. There is a reason why republicans have been putting as many hurdles to voting in place as they can.
Whoever wins is going to have to deal with some serious pushback from the losing side. I'm expecting to see a lot of violence.

Depending on who wins the US election is like waiting to know who we are playing in the next round of the cup - all we know is that it’s an away trip to either China or Russia.
I don’t fancy either of them to be honest.

Killary already stated Biden must not concede and big tech will have a big say in who is allowed to claim victory with their backing. The establishment is going full tilt to rig this election.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa- ... SKBN25L2FJ
Clinton, a Democrat, lost the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump, a Republican whose re-election bid is facing a stiff challenge from Biden, who has been leading Trump in public opinion polls.
Clinton conceded defeat on the night of the election in 2016 but said the shift to mail-in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic means it could take longer to know the winner in November.
She said this year’s election day results might point to Trump having a narrow advantage. But in that case, Clinton said, “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out.”

Trumps tax cuts for rich Americans have added to an already large deficit. It’s strange that when governments like this and Johnson’s pile up debt, the rightwing media are strangely silent. But when a party suggests doing things that benefit everyone - like free and fast broadband, funded university tuition, or feeding hungry children - suddenly it’s all about how it will create an economy wrecking debt.
