Yeah but they usually have one box you can check for the party and they automatically count you as voting for all the candidates and cats associated with that party for every category.

This can't be true...I don't believe there's a single cat that isn't a republican.

This is nonsense. He’s been working to his current game plan for months.

It's certainly true that someone has been laying the groundwork for undermining this election for months and making moves that would sway things in his favour (judge appts, slowing the mail, challenging states rules that might increase Dems votes). Someone in the white house has a strategic mind. I'm not sure it's him. Maybe Dom has a side gig?

He's funneled millions of taxpayers money into his businesses, put his family and people he owes favours to in the white house thus stealing even more money.
He's become such a hate figure, all his businesses will be losing money, the Apprentice money then the presidency saved his bacon but his properties will be owned by the banks when taxpayer dollars no longer prop them up, then theres that huge audit that will expose years of fraud, he is well and truly screwed when he's out of office.
American celebs can literally get away with murder but tax fraud seems to be their biggest no no. 😃

One commentator on CNN earlier reckoned with over 68 million votes, Trump will continue to be a major force in US politics even if he loses. Hadn’t considered that, assumed he’d just move on

Nah, he was never meant to win the nomination it was just a promotional opportunity for the apprentice, then he wasn't meant to win the presidency... But he did and from there basically treated his new job like his old one, behave like an arse, surrounding yourself with yes men/women, tell the customers what they want to hear even if it's a dangerous lie or blatant bullshit, so long as you can get your hands on their money/vote...

The man is a lifelong grifter who's played one con a bit too far. He isn't going to be back in the running for '24, the republicans won't want him, and he'll be too busy pushing his book/TV show/hotels and trying to avoid going to jail and/or paying Melania too much in the settlement...

It's not how most people would choose to spend their final few years really is it...

Alternatively,  if it is only a few hundred mil to pay off his debts and he is so close to winning then that might be the safest path for the republicans in 2024.  They will have 4 years to hone their message against Biden.  It could be safe bet 🙁

If there is a God I seriously doubt he’d give a flying **** about the US election. That’d be like me getting involved in a leadership dispute in an ant colony.

That Randi Reed interview is astounding.

It’s like listening to my five year old when he wants to watch Power Rangers...

Striking a convincing tone, but really just spouting any words he can think of, without really remembering what he just said, or with any thought as to what to say next. Or how it might sound

I say Biden gives Him half an hour and if He is a no-show then we call the election done.

I love the utter contempt that Emily shows.

What is quite surprising to me, and indeed scary, is how what Rani says seems to be quite true and reasonable on the surface. If you give it more that a nonoseconds thought you realise she's talking complete shite, but on the face of it the way she presents it is surprisingly persuasive. I'm not surprised that a lot of scum are taken in by it.

Despite the big numbers being swung around, turn out was still 67%. A third of the electorate couldn’t be ****ing arsed. 😐

Or were effectively deterred by decades of (actual) gerrymandering and vote suppression by the republican party. Remember, because of the electoral college and winner-takes-all system, just like in the UK there's a huge percentage of people whose votes are fundamentally worthless. It really doesn't take much to deter someone who knows that from voting- you might queue for 12 hours in inner city Atlanta but would you in Alaska?

The irony is that voter suppression works best in the states that aren't really in play, of course.

Fox News, a very Republican News Outlet is being far more confident of a Biden lead than CNN or New York Times. They already have Biden at 264 with Michigan and Arizona blue, and saying things like “Biden is close to being on his way to the White House”.

I think, basically, that CNN have nothing to gain by calling early, and something to lose. Whereas for Fox, getting off the Trump train is a titanic job if they want to do it, and probably best started early. But very definitely they either need to avoid getting dragged into the endless war on democracy that threatens, or they need to go all in, and they need to decide that right now not in a few days time because then it'll be in full roll.

The Beeb just had a member of Trumps staff on. Quite measured for. Trump staffer, saying things like “he just wants all legal votes counted” etc.

Which would be fine, if it weren't a massive blatant lie. The measured ones are worse than the overt lunatics.

His spiritual advisor is preying for him.

She's always good value, I like when she speaks in tongues. But she just tweeted "stop worrying over what went wrong and thank God for what went right". Looks like even professional christians-for-hire can see the writing for the wall.

After randi reed’s word soup, here’s how to communicate – John McCain’s concession speech;

Forget the speech, McCain worked directly with Obama after the election to aid the transition, and not only that but defended Obama throughout the years that followed. Basically because you can, still, be a conservative but not an absolute thunder*, if you just try a little bit.

McCain's words and actions were consistent and reflected his basic human decency.
trump's words and actions are often contradictory and he doesn't have a shred of humanity or decency.
Completely agree it's possible to be a conservative and a decent person; many are but you wouldn't think it from the prize chumps who appear in the media.

Not sure if I can see Trump coming back in four years, but I can certainly see Eric Trump or Ivanka/Jared being steamrollered through the Republican system by him. His supporters will lap that up. "Keep daddy our of jail darling, or at least pardon me"

Not a complete thundercat perhaps but a decent person? Nope. McCain is a decent chap for a far right conservative perhaps but its a low bar

Yes, but he is clearly expressing the concern that as a hard-working and responsible MP he is well aware that the Democrats are less a free market party than the republicans and are more likely to tend toward protectionism. A Republican white house would tend to be more inclined towards a desperately needed trade deal with the UK.

Not: Bro, commies! s****.

'Desperately needed'? Not once we've completed the 'easiest deal in history' with the EU. You make it sound like Brexit isn't going to be a success, and that our gallant government is instead desperately hawking around some kind of international begging bowl for scraps from other nations. Get a grip!

McCain is a decent chap for a far right conservative p

Mccain was a pretty centrist republican. He didn't really have a place in the current party. The people that elected him for !any years have now elected a fairly centrist democrat. He's the husband of Gifford? The representative that was shot in the head. He's pro gun control in an open carry state and still managed to take a republican seat.
