Re: US Election 2016

We'll see tomorrow if Florida, North Carolina and Colorado go to Trump. If all three of them do then, unless Clinton pulls out a surprise in Ohio or Arizona then he wins.

One note of caution though. Drudge is using absolute numbers but the early voting has spiked up across the bored so it's percentages that matter.

Despite his behaviour, I am prepared to give Trump a chance over one who has already had some form of chance and failed miserably and she would be likely to lead us in to a very dark war with Russia, I would very much like to avoid that, because we'd be caught in the middle of it, in more ways than one.

Look its all about differing opinions on these issues Mick as if everybody agreed about everything in this world we would all be a bunch of exact genetic clones and that would be pretty boring IMO.

I had a little chuckle when I put these two comments together - just in fun.

HILLARY Clinton has cancelled a planned fireworks display to celebrate her previously presumed victory tomorrow night.

The extravagant show had been organised to take place on a barge in New York’s Hudson River only 30 minutes after polls shut on November 8.
Hillary Clinton had already organised a victory firework display for election day next week

But it has now been reported that Clinton has cancelled the display, possibly after getting the jitters following a narrowing of her lead in the polls.

According to the New York Post, NYPD chief of intelligence Tommy Galati made the revelation at a city press conference on Election Day security.

He reportedly told journalists: “They do have a permit for fireworks, but at this point we believe the fireworks are cancelled.”

When asked by a reporter why the display was cancelled, Galati responded: “I cannot tell you that.”

Not so confident now eh?

THE whole world is bracing itself for an almighty panic if Donald Trump wins the presidency tonight.

If you thought the tantrum after the EU referendum was bad, brace yourself for much, much worse. It will be, as The Donald promised, “Brexit times ten”.

Everybody needs to grow up and calm down. Donald Trump is not the end of the free world. Yes, he’s a grotesque, orange loudmouth. Yes, his fans can be a bit nutty. But Trump isn’t a fascist — no matter how much his opponents insist otherwise.

He is, at best, a charlatan and at worst a con artist, and the greatest trick he has pulled off is convincing the people that he wants to Make America Great Again. He really only wants to satisfy his massive ego.

If he beats Clinton tonight, it’ll be mission accomplished. He’ll probably spend the next four years telling everyone how clever he is while his more sensible running mate, Mike Pence, carries the bags. - Freddy Gray

Re: US Election 2016

Polls now open. Full election underway and, barring any surprises, we'll know tomorrow morning - maybe quite early depending what happens.

Re: US Election 2016

I bet Mick is first in the queue, even if he's not eligible ;)

Re: US Election 2016

Is there a hidden Trump vote to 'do a Brexit'? Will there be a big gender divide? Will Latino voters block Trump from the Presidency?

We might know some of this during the day, clues to what is happening.

This time yes. There was that UK guy who intended to shoot him.
