Re: U.S Election 2020
Yup, one week today. This campaign has seemed a lot less dramatic presumably because COVID has dominated the world instead.

Indeed. I suspect, even disregarding his inept Covid response, being unable to control the narrative has impacted the Trump campaign.
His populist bullshit has been drowned out.

Re: U.S Election 2020
I really hope Biden wins by a landslide so there is no way trump can cry"fix".Purely to stop the carnage that would follow on the streets of america if trump gets four more years.
What a choice;Sleepy Joe who will struggle to last a term or the most unsuitable/unintelligible person ever to grace(disgrace) the white house.
America deserves better than these two choices(or does it?)

Agreed. It's also a bit harder for him to talk about some of the policies he had last time:
- "Lock her up" Sensibly not pursued
- Build the wall - not happened
- Large infrastructure projects - not happened
- Bring back manufacturing jobs to the rust belt - not happened
- Kill Obamacare dead - not happened
As an impartial observer, it's only fair to point out that the Obama jobs boom continued under Trump's leadership but his handling of Covid (Or Covid itself depending on your viewpoint) put an end to that. And he's set the agenda for relations with China and negotiated a peace settlement between Israel and the UAE. But I don't think the latter will hold much interest for his core support.

What they should be obsessing about is climate change, a far bigger threat to the World than the virus. However folks and politicians can't see further than today.
Given Donald's views on the matter this election matters to us all. It may already be too late, but its last chance saloon for Planet Earth.

The problem with your inept analysis, yes you have been totally incorrect when it came to Brexit, saying initially it will be reversed or cancelled, it was quite amusing to see your smugness eradicate and you squirm when you admitted your side had lost its fight.
The problem here, you’re writing off Trump like others did in 2016, the chances in the polls that Clinton would become President... echo right up to today’s forecast and people like you, could be making the same pathetic mistake.
Trump, may lose and become a one term president, but he’s made the history books, and he has reshaped the Judiciary system for decades with his picks for Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices, the last one confirmed right on Crooked Hillary’s birthday, yesterday, what a gift.

Re: U.S Election 2020
My suggestion to any Trump fan here is prepare for Trump to lose and if by any miracle he doesn't then you'll be super happy. Pretending he has a good chance of winning may lead to serious disappointment.

I did believe the Establishment would try to reverse it - I think you'll agree three years of obstacles would qualify as this. Brexit had to clearly win another referendum or clear mandate at a GE. That happened.
The observational analysis was quite good on reflection.

I am writing off Trump - you are correct.

FYI the forecast is no longer the same as it was with Clinton as at this point she had started to drop. In terms of popular vote Biden has been much further ahead of where Clinton was and in terms of Battleground states he is a bit further ahead.
Obviously, after what happened in 2016 nobody wants to call it though.

Surely its 'crooked' to make Court appointments based on politics. Thankfully President Joe is going to review the whole system 
BTW 'Trump may lose' ? Fake news. Done lose faith Mick, he's a shoe in

It's only the court that has to be neutral,not those nominating judges.

Here’s a thought - what if Trump resigns between the election and January. Does Pence step up to the plate and pardon the Don? Removes the issue of him pardoning himself.

Presidential Pardons only count for Federal offences, and don’t count for charges/convictions brought by States.
