Texas would be a massive game changer, . Chuck in Florida, assume California is a given and it looks like landslide territory. Texas has been red since Reagan, in maybe no small part because of those good ol’ Bush boys being on most of the various tickets. Gaining Texas would possibly make Florida redundant in the equation, in terms of getting over the line. Be nice to see an electoral college slaughter though, on a par with 1984 but this time for the good guys (or less worse guys!)

Still no announcement on VP though that might wait until the virtual convention. It is surely between Abrams and Harris. I wouldn’t rule out Trump being Trump and taking Pence off his ticket, even though that is the only security he has with the religious right vote. It is Trump though. Jared for VP!

Don jnr for VP?

I personally think stats like that owe more to historical coincidence than any genuine ‘bell weather’ status in Ohio. If he gets pasted in the big electoral colleges like California, Texas, Florida, Michigan it won’t matter what Clint in Cleveland says, he’ll be out.

The key states Clinton lost were the rust belt: Ohio, Penn, Michigan, Wisconsin. All Dem leaning but Trump managed to mobilise the angry nativist vote. Basically Labour’s red wall problem 3 years early.

Trump storms out of press conference after promoting doctor who believes vaccines are made from alien DNA. New tone did not last long.

The press should ignore him. Boycott his news conferences, don't report his mad utterances. He thrives on being in the news, it's his oxygen.

Apparently he liked her voice... or something.

Trump on Russia. Hard to watch and think that people will still vote for him.

That was incredible. I’m not sure he even understands what happened when the Soviet Union broke up either.

Has anyone seen the bit from Trump on Fauci from yesterday? Wondering why Fauci has a high approval rating and he doesn’t....”must be my personality”

Really difficult to watch and hard to believe that the world could ever again trust the USA after they voted in that muppet.

[brianmc]

I've reached the point where I don't even want to mock Trump any more.

I think he is mentally ill.

The man needs removed from office and taken to a care facility to be looked after.

It's scary to think a large number of Americans can watch his inane, confused ramblings and not only think they can understand him but they actually agree with him!!

Scary ****.

I think this way a lot. It’s tempting to accept that Americans are all stupid rednecks to fall for his constant nonsense. However, He is now trailing by historic levels in the polls. He did lose the popular vote last time around. He had a number of unique advantages last time round; an opponent who was widely mistrusted and disliked. Bottomless coffers in an electoral system where money matters above all else. The best voter analytics, vital especially in localising trends to district level and the best sophisticated social media targeting. And I’ve been reading and listening a lot about US voter suppression; Republican states like Texas allocate so few voting booths to districts that vote Democrat that 6 hour queues are the norm, resulting in lower turnout where people work multiple jobs and can’t get time off, removal of voters, making registration more onerous from particular districts etc. I think American Idiots are over represented by both its electoral system and its media.

How can individual states/districts have the authority to do something like that in a national election? Has it ever been challenged e.g. at the Supreme Court?

This should be a decent watch. Not sure Gleeson has nailed Trumps whiny voice though 😂

He reads a lot though and understands much more than anyone else ever.

Keen to see how Trump tries to spin this one - strange considering the "great, huge, record breaking job numbers"

Trump calls for delay to 2020 US election

https://t.co/mWFN6QIbr7?amp=1

US President Trump calls for delaying 2020 election, citing possible mail-in voting fraud despite little evidence

folks on here did say right enough he'd try to hold onto power.

[stantonhibby]

He now wants the election delayed!

[Tobias Funke]

Trump calls for a delay in 2020 election citing mail in ballot fraud. (BBC)

He knows his goose is cooked, this is the beginning of his corrupt attempts at hanging onto power. Absolute psychopath.

[SHODAN]

Congratulations America, you've elected a tyrant.

So it begins. The Republican party and all their champions in the media have failed every test to check Trump's power.

If they fail this one I think its safe to call Trump and anyone that doesn't condemn him as treasonous.

Apparently the worst ever quarterly shrinkage of the US economy is also being announced today, this will be Trumps way of making folk look the other way. ��

[weecounty hibby]

Here we go, said it a while back there will be no election and he will sign an executive order that he must stay in office while the crisis is ongoing. This is just the beginning of him trying to force the presidency to be his and his alone until he decides to give it up or he dies. Seriously scary stuff. The man is a liar, a cheat and actually not very bright when you hear the bs he comes out with but he sadly is smart enough to surround himself with folk who will allow this to happen

The management of the register and the voting process is conducted at state level. I’m not sure if it’s ever been challenged. The source is ‘One Person No Vote, by Carol Anderson. It describes a coordinated policy of deliberately removing people from electoral rolls if they move house frequently, for example, or in Alabama’s case, instituting a voter ID system where public housing ID doesn’t count as verifiable ID, and where dept of motor vehicles offices that would normally give you photo ID have been closed or moved away from black/poor areas that tend to vote more democrat.

The low black vote for Hilary in 2016 was put down to her inability to engage with black voters. But between 2008 when Obama atttacted 15 million first time voters, and 2016, literally MILLIONS of voters had disappeared from the registers, disproportionately from black and poor districts. It’s very persuasive.

Topically in relation to today’s news, Anderson also destroys the Trump claim of widespread absent voter fraud as a total myth. In studies of over a BILLION votes cast in successive US elections, they only found 31 cases of fraud.

[BroxburnHibee]

Could see this coming a mile. Even if it goes ahead - he'll try to hang on in some way when he hopefully loses.

[ACLeith]

So what will come first - he dies, goes to jail or leaves office
