...as sad as it makes me, I have absolutely no doubt that Tump will be re-elected for his second term...with his words, he incites and encourages violence, in order to use that violence to an advantage point... “He fell, and then they very violently attacked him...he probably would have been killed.”....the more violent he can encourage, the more he can ‘become the saviour and what America needs right now to protect against ‘Democratic run cities’....’....he’s written it, hasn’t he...it won’t even be a close thing, I don’t think because this is the great America he has written...and I doubt that Biden has any chance at all...

...’we deserve better than this..’...are the words of the Rev Jesse Jackson...and he’s speaking for ‘White’ as well as ‘black’ because all lives matter to him...he doesn’t speak on colour, he speaks for right against wrong...and Trump is so wrong for the USA and he’s so wrong for the world and we all deserve better than this, as Jesse says...better than someone who ‘just came for a commercial...’...sadly though, I don’t think that better is what we will get....

...I read this story yesterday, what Trump apparently said, it’s been widely reported...


Joe Biden attacks Donald Trump over report he called war dead 'losers'

Joe Biden has said Donald Trump should "humbly apologise" for reportedly calling US war dead "losers" and "suckers".

The Democratic presidential candidate described the president's alleged remarks as "disgusting" and "damnable".

The claims date to 2018 when Mr Trump cancelled his trip to a cemetery in France, which was blamed on bad weather at the time.

According to The Atlantic, Mr Trump is reported to have asked his aides: "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers."

In a separate conversation, it is alleged that the president branded US marines who lost their lives at the Battle of Belleau Wood in the First World War as "suckers".


...obviously the Donald denies he said it but he denies and lies/it’s what he does, so isn’t really a reliable source....


...full article...

Hang on how personal can political words be? If you want good things for all then who cares who said it first?

That said it does not look good to be caught out in a lie, unless you're trump obv.
All this footage is from 88.. surely 32yrs in the political wilderness is penance enough?

Maybe it's internal sabotage like we had.. the dems screwing over their own. ...nah they already did that to sanders.

And he was only 40-odd at the time remember

Trump and Corbyn for example have both had things from decades ago bandied about as reasons note to vote for them, so why should Biden be any different

The difference being is that Biden has very clearly changed after being enlightened and challenged through his years in government, Trump has never had to face the reality of his bigotry and as a result, most definitely has not changed the views he has always held, if anything, they seem to have gotten worse as he’s gotten older

Neck and neck now with most bookmakers, some have Biden slight favourite. I still think Trump will win as it stands, however with a good performance in the debates Biden could easily take it.

He's 10 pts ahead in the polls. The bookies are irrelevant.

Nah they're not.

Also, Clinton was way ahead too in 2016.

A bookmaker never gets fooled twice. They were wrong last time admittedly.

The odds also reflect the general consensus, even the most hardcore supporter of either candidate will admit it'll be close.

They don't. They reflect who is betting money on it. Bookies are in the money business, not the consensus business.

They literally employ researchers and analysts on sport, racing, TV, speciality bets (like politics) etc. They make the odds, and they'll fluctuate depending on bets placed yes, but that's not the only way they'll go up or down.

Trust me, if a video emerges of Trump saying 'all Christians are dumb' or something that will effect the vote, his odds will massively drift. If on election night Biden is 1/50 to win, he'll win, making the odds relevant.

The bookies are in both the money business, and the general consensus business. They're not the be all end all, but they're certainly not irrelevant.
