biden pulling ahead again in texas ... aaargghh!

We’re up to page 281 of the 2016 thread now, worry starting to set in.

Christ, I was busy that night

 

[JTG]

Honestly, some of you need to calm down

Trump has to win Florida to stay in the race, Biden doesn't. Who knows though.

Absolutely, too much importance is placed in Florida (partly cos it starts early), dems don’t need it and Clinton did do very well there last time

I honestly think there's still PTSD from 2000. Given that EVERYTHING CAME DOWN TO FLORIDA!!1!1!11, people think it's still that crucial.

One of her better states, v effective in getting her vote out. Looks like being lost by the same margin as last time with a big swing to Trump in Miami-Dade and swings away from him everywhere else

Further betting market tightening. I’m assuming that this is Florida? Already clear that the Biden landslide delusion was miles off. The rust belt needs to get the useless twat over the line:

Reckon it's the depressive effect of too much booze. On a Tuesday night. With work in the morning to look forward to.

It really is so different from UK coverage. No guests, no chat, just "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, AND WHAT ABOUT HERE, LOOK OVER HERE, NOW BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE!!"

yeh i've turned it off, doing my head in

 

[Lord Camomile]

yeh i've turned it off, doing my head in

I have it muted in the background while watching streams on my laptop.

 

[two sheds]

i'll take a look in half an hour or so i think, then go to bed

 

[Smokeandsteam]

yeh i've turned it off, doing my head in

It’s insane! It’s just noise.

 

[strung out]

Worth saying that the Democrats did fairly well in the 2018 mid-terms despite not making gains in Florida. Florida doesn't follow the same demographic rules as other states.

 

[JTG]

Before you start making assumptions about Georgia:

 

[frogwoman]

Its because last election when he won Florida Hillary was done

It’s insane! It’s just noise.

and same stuff repeated over and over biden doing well here but trump doing well there and biden overperforming here compared with clinton but underperforming elsewhere.

Overperforming with clinton sounds faintly distasteful tbh

The American board is sure it's Trump winning. They almost all don't want him to, but he has too many states already.

I'm going to go to bed and hope I wake up being wrong about all this.

He has one swing state and nothing else that he wasn't going to win anyway

Honestly, it is still too early

 

[JimW]

Oh hi Ohio! She'll be right.

 

[belboid]

Blimey, I almost predicted the trump wants to buy Greenland thing this time four years ago

 

[a_chap]

If I may interrupt the proceedings to say: so far this is not the crushing Trump defeat I was lead to believe we were going to be celebrating.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Whatever happens, we still have Bozo the Clown over here for the next four years. Sleep tight

 

[two sheds]

Be interested to know what this means for Senate seats

 

[Kaka Tim]

maybe his anti - lcokdown stance has gained him back some ground?

 

[JimW]

Hear Biden's in with a chance in New York. Follow me for more insights.

Some of us have been pointing this out for months..... nobody is voting for Biden. They either voting for or against Trump.

 

[Sue]

Pennsylvania looking strong for Biden.

ETA Well according to the BBC anyway.

 

[two sheds]

poll on cnn early in evening pointed to people saying they were voting on policies much more than on personalities
