WHO CALLING THE U.S. ELECTION NOW?

 
XDFIX 2024-10-27 00:20:03 

I am sorry to say that the U.S. will not get its first female President! It's unfortunate because this was a woman's best chance!

I wish this call could be wrong!

It is also a tragedy to see the most undeserving candidate assuming power as President of the U.S., but it is what it is. Hopefully, one day, Americans will learn!

Trump is likely to win 312 electoral votes based on polls a few days out from the election.
Unfortunately we will have the drama that comes with Trump for another 4 years.

Master_Blaster 2024-10-27 02:55:17 

There is a lot of noise on both sides. However, it's always best to follow the money and like I already said - the stock market is indicating a Trump win.

But there are still 10 days left so...

How can the stock market make predictions when Trump's plan shows the GDP declining by 9% and a recession in 6 to 8 months?

A tax cut to 15%, where corporations will do a stock purchase instead of expansion.

A tariff of 20% raises all consumer products. Americans will pay such tariffs, yet they believe idiot Trump?

8 years ago, Trump inherited Obama's economy that showed steady progress for over two years; this time such will not be presented to him.

He showed he is clueless about an GDP economy and how to grow such...clueless as the pandemic...inject bleach?

America cannot be so doltish to elect Trump; a hidden/silent portion of the electorate will show up on November 5th.

Bro, many times when there’s a crash the rich get richer. Either result therefore is a win/win fi dem. They prefer the Chump win because of the tax cut.

I say Kamala, and it will be close. My guage is the relative enthusiasm levels I see at the rallies. Dotard Chump has seen nothing like this, for instance.

Question though-- does the marmalade menace even have a vote, considering that he's a convicted felon?

In reply to sgtdjones

While not definitive predictors betting sites and prediction markets are showing Trump now comfortably ahead.
Something major will have to happen now and in Trump's case it has to be close or actually killing someone. In my opinion Biden took too long to realize he was never up for this and the process of selecting Kamala Harris was flawed. Michelle Obama speaking on her behalf for a few hours is not enough. Michelle O could have been a much better candidate.

I think you are misunderstanding Nitro’s post

Master_Blaster 2024-10-27 14:43:39 

They both do not deserve the presidency imo, however, one will win. Me, I would vote Jill Stien.

The smart money is pointing to a Trump win, but is that set in stone? I dunno know.

One point for each, who wins?

1- Economy
2- Law and order
3- Immigration/border
4- Social programs
5- Housing
6- Healthcare
7- Education
8- Employment
9- Military
10- Innovation and productivity (corporate interest)

Seems 55/45 for Trump right now
Trump wins 1, 2, 3, 9, 10.
Kamala wins 4, 5, 6, 7.
8 is a tie.

LOL on the latter. Should he win we'll see if she moves into the WH anew. big grin

You're right about him being able to vote in Fla. He would have been ineligible in that state, but luckily for him it defers to the laws of the convicting state, in this case NY, where so long as he's not in custody he's allowed to vote. That effer should get down on his knees to thank Judge Juan Merchan (instead of constantly disparaging him), yuh hear!

Australian Broadcasting Corporation...abc Brisbane had an election expert and he announced Kamala would win by 5%.

Yesterday thousands gathered on the Brisbane Bridge. A crowd of 5500 Brisbane volunteers bared all for New York artist Spencer Tunick’s “art action” on Sunday.

Not sure why my post was erased so here goes:

Your argument is valid, however, for me it is more a protest vote since I think both main candidates are unfit.

You believe all rubbish you read. Is called politicking.

Let me start by saying economic thought/theory is not an exact science and may not follow economic models or it may work in one instance and fail another. Human behaviour cannot be easily predicted ans and variables often change.

The there are theories theories and concepts that stand test of time.

Firstly is the 'largest' economy in the world and it has been proven that lowering taxes does stimulate economic growth (GDP) by increasing spending. Also as part of his plan there are disincentives for American companies to ship their businesses overseas plus high tarrifs on similar or cheaper goods produced outside.

Kamala socialist ideology depends heavily on government expenditure, high federal debt, and disruption of market forces.

Hope this simplistic explains opens your eyes

 
sudden 2024-10-28 11:32:43 

You all does really mek me laff. Behaving as though you discovered something novel re not requiring an ID to vote. Doesn’t the DL / DMV voting registration combo work in the US any longer?

At any rate you would find that most countries which require specific ID cards also issue and use ID cards as a major way to interface with government or generally do business.

So which other country in this world have an electoral system of determining votes where a group of electors could decide who gets state votes irrespective of voters’ choice?

And each state has different rules about voting and deciding which candidate eventually get the state’s votes and in what proportion

Or where a presidential candidate can lose the popular vote but could still win? and I am not talking about a parliamentary system.

And until a few years ago a certain first world country issued drivers licences without a photograph

 
Prako 2024-10-28 12:42:55 

Based on what I am seeing, Trump/Vance will win.

The Trump/Vance campaigning shows celebrations while Harris (I was going to put Harris/Waltz but it looks like Waltz already senses defeat and is disappearing) seems to be focusing on their strong hold areas. When you are in your strong holds it sends the message that your base is not giving you strong vibes and you are trying desperately to not lose that support.

Pearls of Wisdom or BS? Voter ID? Most states encourage voter registration via The DMV where state driver's licence and ID'S are issued. If verification is needed such as whether one is qualified to vote i.e
A citizen, not an unqualified convict etc it can be had. That is a less expensive, less arduous process than the voter ID red-herring! What is shocking but more frightening than shocking is a person with the power of a vote not understanding that in The US political system A Jill Stien vote is an irrelevance as far as bringing the 2 major parties together in terms of the two houses and executive...F$#^@ing Stunning!!

No need to get angry or take it personal you are becoming irrational - first, the voter ID thing can be exploited by both sides. Second, I do not live in the US.

 
Brerzerk 2024-10-28 17:59:03 

I'm not angry but was terrified that you lived here, had a vote and like many other voters lacked knowledge of the system they're voting in.
The clamor for voter I D by the Republicans is simply a ployto make it harder (create an extra loop) to vote for those less likely to vote for them. How easy is it for granny out in the country Togo get voter ID. If they win that fight they'll then tell granny she has to bring birth certificate then when she does they'll send her back for a passport, notorized affidavit... It is a scam!

Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight lead over former President Donald Trump in the three most recent national polls—but most surveys show a virtual dead-heat contest for the White House and close races in all seven swing states, keeping the race wildly unpredictable just one week before Election Day.
