Trump takes Iowa, so the Selzer poll was wrong.

It's looking pretty grim...

Yep, it looks like Harris' only hope is the old blue wall where it's neck and neck, pretty much every where else is off the cards according to a bunch of outlets. If she does get in it'll only be by the skin of her teeth and we all know what that means. But Trump is most certainly in the box seat.

That Iowa poll always seemed whiffy

Arizona is tight at 50% of votes. That had looked pre-election by polls a direct win for Trump.

Even places like New Jersey are close. Trump looks like he’s going to win the popular vote

Thing looking grim, I wouldn't exactly said "going to be fun watching" as Donny kowtows to any Dictator prepared to pat him on the head, Ukraine for starters is going to be fucked.

So Americans will vote in anyone but a female, didn't see that coming folks.

That's my real concern in all this. He cuts them off and they slowly get swallowed or at least have to concede what's been taken and they probably protract thing thing for much, much longer. Does Europe have the ability to pick up the slack?

Trump has pretty much promised a Nazi state, and with the Republicans controlling both the Senate and the House of Reps that's coming down.

I said in *the other place* that New Jersey was the most astonishing and telling result of the evening (even though Harris will obviously take it). From a 16-point victory in 2020 to a <5-point lead in 2024 with nearly 90% of the vote counted.

And Christ, I told you cunts Florida was not in play…but a 13-point victory?! Holy shit…even I didn’t see that coming.

And as you said New Hampshire looks competitive albeit Harris will probably win it. The man has a remarkable political instinct

Alas, I flew too close to the sun…Trump cannot do any better than sweeping the swing states.

As for the sentence that follows, you’re really too kind, I’m just a guy that reads the tea leav—oh, right…

Multiple Fox News talking heads sympathizing with Harris, “oh poor girl had no chance, Biden is so unpopular…”

It’s over.

This is over

306 - 232 New York Times is predicting, plus the House and the Senate.

Good luck America - as that old TV programme said "You Asked For It"

How!? HOW can an apparent majority of Americans be this stupid? Even leaving aside the fact that he is a despicable plum, he doesn't have a viable plan!

They've fucked their country and they frankly deserve it, but in doing so they've also fucked the likes of Ukraine.

Yep. This is the one that really scares me. Ukraine will be hurt but still there. That will be a global disaster like nobody has ever seen since the Great Depression.

The Democratic candidate was a woman, Yanks simply can't vote for a women leader, so instead they have elected a felon who is also a convicted rapist :eek:

Well we can look forward to the criminals getting a free pass, a possible depression as Donny throws tariffs left right and center, and Ukraine and a lot of other smaller Countries being well and truly fucked. I'm expecting Vance will roll him in the first year.
