Surely the old guard in the GOP will be (behind closed doors) happy that Trump Has lost this? Reshuffle and put in place an actual politician?

A lot of people were voting against the Democrats not necessarily voting for Trump

They're f**king either deluded or need to take a good long look at themselves then.

This wasn't Bernie the socialist. This is a choice of a run-of-the-mill, centrist, don't-rock-the-boat moderate or a far right, bigoted, irrational, incompetent, narcissistic, sociopathic, lying man-child who cares primarily about himself and is so lacking in basic human decency that he would oversee a policy of tearing tiny kids out of their desperate parents arms to be shipped all around the country, not knowing when they'd be reunited.

Well don't take my word for it

(LOL-and of course the WaPo has come out with a rebuttal)

Assuming that's true, what have the GOP done for the working class?

And what's the excuse for middle class and wealthy people voting for a ghoul like Trump?

And just because the GOP and Trump are happy to exploit those who feelings are hurt by being told that racism, homophobia, xenophobia, pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism are not okay, that doesn't make the Dems wrong.

Biden now beyond the .5% margin in PA that might lead to a recount, hence the call.
Up yours, Sammy Wilson.

IT'S OVER



Margin of victory is all that has to be decided now. Trump must take this defeat on the chin.

Not only did Biden win but he'll win the popular vote by about 5 million.

Trump was advertising a press conference by his democracy-denying cronies at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping centre in Philadelphia set for 4:30

The race was called at 4:29

Timing

Next door to the Four Seasons Total landscaping is a business called "Fantasy Island"

You can get all your gardening needs at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, such as spades, to dig holes

Trump already has all his holes dug, and they are very deep

Van Jones's reaction to the election call was visceral

Trump's presidency has done an immense amount of harm to so many people

This feels like a great release

How fitting



I guess he will break 50 as he stops counting when it suits. Eagles, birdies galore and a few holes in one!

Just watching the BBC News and this came up.
"Mr Biden, a word for the BBC"?
"The BBC? I'm Irish"!

Republican Party will be quietly praying Donald has a coronary on a golf course somewhere and doesn't live to contest the next election as he is guaranteed to do. He is certain to run as a 3rd party candidate should he be unsuccessful in a bid to be the republican candidate.

Whatever outcome Trump will cast a long shadow over the Republican Party for the next 4 years. It'll be very hard for a republican to inspire the same emotion or base loyalty as Donald.

Would be amazing to see a 2024 election where the Democrat vote was split by Kanye and a centrist democrat and where the GOP was split by Trump and a centrist Republican.
