Bad outcome
No winners.
Everybody loses.

A 'poisoned chalice' to the one who eventually ends up with top job.

Trump saying he is taking it to court, WTF?

He paved the way with accusations of 'cheating & stealing' re postal votes and now reckons he'll take it to the Supreme Court - which he and the Republicans have ensured is dominated by, well, Republican judges.

Very good chance the Orange Rodent will get the court's nod, postal votes ruled invalid and get another 4 years as the President. Then there'll be years of appeals and counter appeals and all the while he'll get to hide his tax situation and shonky business dealings.

And while all this is going on the gradual implosion of the US will continue. Trump is the bloke to expedite the collapse, it would have slowed under Biden/Democrats.

So is he confident about winning the election or confident about going to court?

I didnt understand, it was on the ch 9 news. He was going on about winning this state and that state. He sounded like he was claiming victory. The he said something about predicting it would go to court which I didnt understand. At the end he started ranting about how its a disgrace, an embarrassment to the country and he would take it to court. He said as far as he's concerned, he's already won. So my conclusion is that he is conceding defeat, throwing a wobbly, sooking it up and taking it to court.
Sorry if it all sounds like ramblings, I dont follow US politics, just saw the news report. Trump was right, they are an embarrassment, all 330 odd million of them.

Cheers Baggers, got it now, makes sense.

How can Biden be confident with those numbers?

I'm very VERY uncomfortable with both Biden and Trump's comments in the last hour. Especially Trump. His humility (or lack thereof) was poor.

My son explained it thus. Lots of postal votes, many more than anticipated, and it will take a while to count. Trump supposedly told his supporters not to use postal votes because it's corrupt. dodgy etc., so the theory is that his supporters obeyed him and thus there's an expectation that the postal votes may be in favour of the Democrats.

American System is confusing as is all this legal challenge stuff...you just cant see the country being run properly without a clear
mandate for either main party.
You just worry about the flow on effects down here in Australia with China really going hard at us now in a trade war, if Trump wins they are going to go ballistic...Putin must be loving all this chaos.

It’s all corrupt Russia can interfere with the 2016 elections and nothing gets done about that yet he wants to take legal action against legitimate postal votes from the American people because it’s allegedly in Biden’s favour.

The scary thing is he, the leader of the “free world” is happy to tear apart his own country and cause such a divide who knows what will be installed for the rest of the world if he does win again.

It's only in the last few years I've worked out their system. Unbelievably complicated

You should do what I do: tune out until the votes are fully counted.

We all love to watch the ebbs and flows of a footy match. That’s fun. Watching the twists and turns of an election ain’t.

If Trump wins, then maybe it might be time for Australia to put a bit of distance between it and Trump on China. There was an article in The Age by a former diplomat (maybe Ambassador?) to China who thinks we should have been far more agile in our relationship with China and we should have been attempting engagement rather than containment. The problem is that Trump won’t do us any favours just because we’re an ally. And China is only going to grow stronger in Asia.

As far as I can read the runes I see a Biden win as postal votes are counted and a Trump court challenge, unless the GOP rein him in and possibly ultimately get rid of him. God knows what will go down then.

So it seems Trumps willingness to incite violence as a measure to keep Democratic voters away from the polls has failed, they just voted early and by post!
