74.2 million right? Let's not round up Trump's vote to 75m and add 800,000 fake votes as he has done to boost his own ego . And of course 306-232, which is the most important figure.

Trump on tape saying "find 11,780 votes." Who is trying to steal the election now?

Trump on tape saying "find 11,780 votes." Who is trying to steal the election now?

He's been trying to steal the election since before people even started voting. Tried to interfere with postal votes, tried to interfere with polling stations. Has claimed for over a year it was going to be rigged so he would have an out. I'm not surprised by this and neither should anyone else.

What is worrying is the number of people, especially influential people who still support this narrative. As people have pointed out, this is undermining democracy in a country that prides itself on being democratic. I'm not saying their democracy is great, but generally you believed that their elections were fair and could be trusted. Instead we've got Trump acting like a dictator that refuses to leave office and instead on being universally condemned, he is actually being supported by a substantial number of people in power. That is very worrying, because it suggests that America is open for a dictatorship under the right circumstances, where people will justify it and try to pretend that it is legal.

In any sane democracy this should be the final nail in the coffin and he should be impeached and thrown out of office tomorrow. But it won't happen.

GOP and 74 million voters the likes of Ted Cruz want to tap into when he tries to make a run in 2024.

I disagree.
In any sane democracy, he'd have been impeached and thrown out of office years ago, possibly before even being sworn in.
Every week he seems to get away with something that would end anyone's career in a sane democracy.

I think we're splitting hairs here.

On TRF?
Never!

Tories can literally do no wrong

ARGHHHHHHHH!

Is this a minor Brexit bump for getting a deal through? Also did people literally leave LD for Tory? Thats utter madness I understand giving on LD (I have) but for Tory....ugh.

I also have no idea how you watch Johnson and Starmer and pick Johnson.

Only hope in Delatapoll are rubbish don't really know how good they are unlike yougov.

 

[ncurd]

This one is tad more hopeful

even if somehow they do get 2 more seats

Even so considering the Tories have ****** up just about everything they have touched, it is staggering how they still have that much support (and just shows how **** poor Labour have been on the PR side of thing, Corbyn royally ****** them up at a time they should have been moving ahead).

Starmer seems pretty balanced and sane, something people may gravitate too with any luck once we come out the other end of Brexit and the pandemic.

Also anyone heard the clips from Trumps phone call? He is completely unhinged. Trump needs to be in jail and that isn't just hyperbole because I don't like him, he is a ******* criminal.

see my post 747 above with extract from WP's recording of conversation. He's already been reported to FBI for investigation.

Democrats ask FBI to investigate Trump's Georgia phone call

Ted Lieu and Kathleen Rice say: ‘We believe Donald Trump engaged in solicitation of, or conspiracy to commit, a number of election crimes’
