Looking at the figures, it seems very likely that Trump has won a second term.How that will affect the world remains to be seen.?

Yes, looks like Georgia has JUST turned blue by 800 votes. 1% of votes left to count there!

I stand by my prediction

Biden 306

Trump 232

Oooooh. I'd have a bet, but I think you may be right!

Biden is trying to reach across to GOP to try to prevent any violence amongst the Trump cult followers. He is asking them to acknowledge that the election was won fairly.

GagaJo Fri 06-Nov-20 12:49:12

Depends if the O of the GOP are patricians or good ol' boys. The latter would let America burn before ousting their Grand Wizard.

They still have to wait for the overseas and military votes.

MamaCaz he was talking such rubbish the media stations cut away! At last!

Whitewavemark2 Fri 06-Nov-20 13:18:38

What are the chances that the same will happen in the U.K. and the reporters calling out any lies told by Johnson?

NEW: No10 repeatedly refuses to say every vote in US election, or indeed any election in the world, should be counted. Quite staggering that it's come to this, really. Story incoming”

This is the absolute issue with Johnson. Very poor judgement.

Here let me say it: every vote in every election, wherever it is, should be counted.

Boris Johnson is so inthralled to the outgoing bully that he can’t do what he was elected to and represent British values.

Oopsminty Fri 06-Nov-20 13:43:09

I'm not sure we should be commenting. Maybe Boris will say something when the result is decided.

Are other countries condemning Trump's deranged comments?

So we shall see the back of Trump and poor Joe has a mountain to climb.

I'm tempted to put a bet on Trump running and winning in 2024

Whitewavemark2 Fri 06-Nov-20 13:50:06

Saying that every vote should be counted in a democratic election, hardly constitutes a radical statement.

Not sure about 2024. Even by Trumps standards he is a loser and there are others who would be willing to fill his shoes. We just have to hope that the republicans don’t choose a populist as a candidate.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 06-Nov-20 13:50:50

Yes yes yes!!!

Biden taking Pennsylvania

I don't think Trump will stand again but Ivanka might...

Iam64 Fri 06-Nov-20 14:01:44

Its looking good but, the way Trump is continuing to divide and stir up hatred is frightening.
I agree with those who say he's still on the steroids. I wonder what other uppers he's being prescribed. All that dad dancing and the deranged speech last night suggest he's even more unstable than usual

Oopsminty Fri 06-Nov-20 14:02:14

Yes, you're right about Trump and losers. He'll find that very difficult to cope with. And of course he'll still be in the White House for a few weeks.

He'll either disappear or rage for eternity

And of course he'll be getting on for 80 in 4 years time

Who knows what's in store for the future.

The media will miss him . He's provided them with great copy over the years.

I think someone needs to start a new thread with a different title

I hope all those workers counting votes are safe and wont catch covid.

Jane10 Fri 06-Nov-20 14:11:53

Hithere they looked well spaced out and wearing masks in any videos I saw.

Well that will depend on all the potential legal actions facing the lot of them.

No, leave it, don't tempt fate!

“Charlottesville” was the catalyst that made Biden run.

That's a little misleading- ? Because he has run for president twice prior-

Whitewavemark2 Fri 06-Nov-20 14:59:55

No I should have been clearer. CNN were saying that he’d decided that he wouldn’t run again but ........

Places like China and North Korea must be horrified that one of the so called 'great powers' allows this embarassing election to be shown worldwide.

I disagree, I bet they are loving it. Because it shows instability in the American government, and the American nation. It shows that they have a larger chance to become more of a world power
