It seems to me that you guys are going with your gut instincts and I am relying on the polls.  We'll see who was right in a week, or maybe a few weeks.  sad
Hi James,

You could be right about the polls, it really depends on how they have tried to account for trump supporters. They missed out badly in 2016 and again in 2020. Here is an interesting look at the problem. https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2024/Items/Oct30-4.html

However, as always, polls are only a guide, it comes down to turnout. Which campaign does a better job of getting people to actually vote. Either way, I think it will come down to a few 1000 votes is a few states.

Cheers,

Maurice

Today's the day

Posted By Maurice Clark

So, the day has finally arrived. Today we find out if dicky 'dodgeball' davis will post endless threads gloating how his orange god has won. Or if he will post endless threads copied from wrong-wing websites spouting BS conspiracy theories on how the election was stolen.

We await with baited breath. Not!

Good luck America.

How about you folks!!

Not far behind will be Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.  Right after Trump pulls the US out of NATO.

Yes, along with Netanyahu, Jinping and Kim.
