WTF? What's happened to the BBC?Quote:

For the past two years, Panorama has been following some of Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters. One was just feet away from the former president when a gunman tried to assassinate him during a rally in Pennsylvania.
It's the state broadcaster so it needs to represent the views of the British government. Britain's (short-term?) interest means that it has to hedge its bets, just like many US business people have done.Quote:

I’m watching the programme now and can’t help feeling he’s got all these thick Yanks eating out of his hands. Just a strong feeling I’ve got to say, but I think my feeling is backed up by what we are hearing and seeing.Quote:

The programme was called "Trump: A second chance?"Quote:

I didn’t know about the ? and take the point. However, the programme, to me, was highly pitched in Trump’s favour and, on balance or maybe imbalance, supported the Trump campaign. I found the last glimpse of Trump highly disturbing and threatening. He said “If we don’t win this election, it might be the last ever election we ever have.” Take what you want from that.Quote:

If you look up gullible in the dictionary, it just says yanks. :rolleyes:
The polls point to a Harris win. I think on the day she will win by more than 4%. I actually think she can take Florida. So long as she gets to 270 though then I’ll be very happy.Quote:

I’m still confident she wins. Although I’ll get more nervous as next Tuesday approaches.

Using twitter right now to try and gauge what way voters might go seems like a waste of time. Musk pretty unashamedly using it as a propaganda machine and his MAGA bots with blue ticks being propelled right to the top of the newsfeeds. Pointing to republican voter regististration as a outright win when people are getting paid to register seems unwise as well.

Late endorsement from W maybe?

This for me is the crux of the problem. Firstly you have the Joe Bloggs Republican supporters who will vote for their party, irrespective of the candidate. I don’t think any of them, even the one’s who know Trump is a liability, and a danger society, will abstain. Then you have the ‘gullibles’ like the idiots featured in the programme, who are fanatics and mesmerised by Trump’s histrionics and lies. Lastly, and possibly the most worrying, are the crazy insurgents, who would follow any clown, like Trump, who preaches and encourages their violent philosophies. Without exaggeration or knee-jerking the USA and the wider world is on a knife edge.Quote:

I wonder which candidate the people who did this support?Quote:

However.. It reminds me of Hilary Clinton referring to Trump supporters as 'Deplorables' which, to me, was a big turning point. Terrible timing.
Think it will be fine. Unfortunately for Joe, nobody is listening to him anymore. He’s not the candidate and has been totally sidelined by her campaign.Quote:

Does early voting in the US election mean good news for either party or no advantage to Reublican or Democrats?
With only 5 days to go which pollster are possibly the best to keep a eye on for a idea of who the yanks are gonna vote for as next president
