U.S. Presidential Election 2020

Now that that’s over I can start worrying about what kind of lunatic the GOP are going to nominate in 2024.

Donald Trump jnr

I don’t see it. Not the way they’re talking now, there’s a big divide between Trump, his Team and Family on one side and Senior Republicans and at least most of their Senators / Representatives on the other. 4 years is a long time in Politics, but I think they’ll want a sane, conservative Republican. The sort of candidate that Democrats might disagree with, but not hate. Wouldn’t that be nice, on both side of the Atlantic.

Woo. Back from a ride and it’s all looking good 👍🏻

Mash-tastic

the daily fail running with
TRUMP IN DENIAL
&
inner circle in desperate hunt for person to tell him to admit defeat 😀

Some votes may still need to be counted

The people shouting that All Lives Matter were very upset to discover that All Votes Matter!

Nice statement from the Biden campaign…

“The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

Yep, a John McCain type character would be nice to see. You may not agree with a lot of what he stood for but you’d also know he was not a complete moron.

Donald Junior looks like he should be singing really bad Rat Pack cover versions on a cruise ship, possibly in Spanish, in between dissolving bodies in a bath of acid

Well that message was quite clear

Is it me or do Boston types sound awesome when swearing? There’s something to the accent that gives the swearyness an extra layer of aggression.

Trump has told people he has no intention of conceding the election even if his path to victory is effectively blocked. Trump-world is becoming concerned that someone is going to have to reckon with him that this race is coming to an end — but who?https://t.co/ZuaPgD7phx

Have a listen to Bill Burr (not bill Barr) when he’s in full flow. It’s a great accent for shouty sweary rants

They’re the Glaswegians of America.

I really thought it was OTT and a bit of a joke when people talked about Trump being forceably removed from the WH. Now it’s looking possible. Wow.

Na, Belfast swearin boots Glesga swearin square in the baws.

Geordies may beg to differ…

Now that that’s over I can start worrying about what kind of lunatic the GOP are going to nominate in 2024.

If he isn’t in jail Trump will run again, and cause as much trouble for Biden as he possibly can in the last couple of months in the White House. I can’t see any possible reason the loser of a presidential election isn’t out the door the next morning, only in America. Good chance he will be in jail for treason as he seems intent on inciting armed groups who believe his every word to reject a Democrat president at all costs

TBH it would be amazing if he did refuse to leave or concede – it would either end up with the US secret service dragging him out, Seal Team Six storming the whitehouse or a full blown civil war which is a win win in my book. It means that the rest of the worlds democracies can carry on pissing themselves with laughter whenever yanks talk about being the worlds greatest democracy.

Scotsmen wi their brains bashed oot as an old tradesman of mine used to say.

Considering Trump is such a complete *****, It doesn’t say much about Biden that he’s only just scraped through.

civil war

I don’t think people dying to deliver a Trump-esque martyrdom (in his eyes) to feed his ego is a good thing at all.

Trump signed an executive order in September to prevent evictions of people who had been disadvantaged by the Coronavirus crisis.

Could that be his last option for clinging on in the White House?

Well, it would give the rest of the world a break from America induced violence and instability whilst they focused on their own internal war.

CNN are reporting they’ve already assigned more presidential security to Biden.

Might need to give Channing Tatum a ring 🙂

I don’t think he will scrape through though. It’s just the order the votes were counted in and this drip-feed of counts that gives the impression. No denying Trump still has a lot of support.

Looks like the Secret Service et al know what’s going to happen

I don’t think he has, it’s only timing and Trumps rhetoric that’s making it look like he’s scraping it.

Biden has 4m more votes than Trump at the moment and if he wins the states he’s currently ahead in he’ll win 306 – 233 which will be a larger win than Trump had in 2016, and both of Bush Jrs Wins.

seems Ivanka’s drawn the short straw.

Harsh.

Considering Trump is such a complete *****, It doesn’t say much about Biden that he’s only just scraped through.

That impression is easy to get with the circus around not being allowed to count the early votes in many states. Weds morning it looked close but now it settling down it looks like Biden might win it by the same amount trump did over Clinton.

if he wins the states he’s currently ahead in he’ll win 306 – 233 which will be a larger win than Trump had in 2016,

Same score, just reversed (discounting the +4m in the popular vote)

I wonder if that’s because they think he will win, or because they’re worried some nutter is going to take a shot at him to stop him “stealing” the election?

No… she’s been tweeting the same nonsense about not counting illegal votes etc. etc. Seems like she’s going down with the ship also.

Both, and. I’d have thought.

Has he? He’s on for 306 Electoral College votes, more than Trump got. He’s defeated an incumbent president (always tough to do), despite sustained attempts to suppress voters and interfere with mail-in voting. And won the popular vote by a significant margin.

I do hope Trump doesn’t concede so he can be evicted properly in January.

The guy involved in Obama’s team on CNN said all completely standard process.

if he wins the states he’s currently ahead in he’ll win 306 – 232 which will be a larger win than Trump had in 2016,

Trump won 304 – 227 😉

It’s officially over: Gazza’s just turned up at the White House with a fishing rod, four cans of lager and a bucket of chlorinated chicken.

Electoral college votes look to be going towards 306 for Biden versus 232 for Trump. Not exactly scraping through!
