Clearly he was talking shite, but you’d expect most networks to wait until he’d finished and then tear it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 4 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: so going by the BBC's map, if Biden wins Nevada and Arizona as is expected he hits the 270. If he overtakes Trump in PA and GA which now also looks likely he's looking at over 300 votes. Suddenly it's the landslide we all hoped for isn't it? (relatively speaking) 'Landslide' is so TrumpTalk, he won with 305 in 2016 if I remember correctly a YUGE win, never seen before, everyone is saying it. 300 would be a clear win, nothing more. One needs 350 to say it's a 'landslide' in my opinion (of course everyone has a different bar set for this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the basis for this? He's a seriously weird and creepy guy. This kind of thing fuelled it Of course you've also got Trump finding excuses to go in to beauty pageant dressing rooms. What a pair to choose from, eh. Edited November 6, 2020 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving some context to @Wainy316question, not coming to the defence of the Donald. It's a pretty woeful selection standard that this is what the two parties could come up with out of the US population though. Two creepy old men that seem to be losing their marbles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I can’t help feeling that future U.S. elections would be more dignified and clear cut and democratic by simply selecting 2 young representatives from each state and having them fight to the death in a large reality TV setting.

States can decide for themselves how they allocate their electoral votes - they are the only states that have decided to split it. (It's unlikely parties would push for bigger, more important states to split their electoral votes - if, for example California did this, it would be like Democrats unilaterally surrendering circa 10-12 electoral college votes for no benefit) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still a considerable margin given the circumstances, and especially as 3 days ago we were all seriously considering a Trump victory was possible If you listened to Trump after the 2016 one, his victory was the biggest ever, and this could be identical so...
