Nothing against Americans on a personal level, I’ll give anyone a fair crack of the whip one to one. Met plenty on my travels and like any other nationality they’re mostly fine
99% of folk the world over just want to get on with their lives in as tolerable a way that their personal circumstances permit. It’s the weird 1% obsessed by power, national borders, political/religious dogma and filthy lucre that fk it all up for the peaceable mega-majority
I too judge people as individuals, not by their nationality, creed, colour…whatever
Yep, the USofA has churned out some decent films and TV shows but you omitted to mention its greatest legacy, music: blues, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, soul, country…Life would be all the grimmer without them and their descendants
“Trump could possibly triumph now, whereas 2 months ago, Harris & co looked odds-on.”
Trump odds on with every bookmaker now. I took 13/8 last year but only for a pittance.
A few weeks ago I found a free £2 bet in my Betfair account to use on any US election market. I backed Trump to get between 300 and 329 electoral college votes at 5.85. That is into 3.85 and favourite in the market now.
I suspect Trump is further ahead than the polls are showing. Harris isn’t popular outside of the core Democrat vote and not even that popular there.
Hope you’re wrong on Harris being less popular than Trump. He said he’ll be a dictator from day one. And use the National Guard/Army against anyone who disagree with him. Because it’s official presidential business, he’s immune from prosecution.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.Only a week to go now.
Trump now 1/2 with most firms and shortening up. The polls appear to indicate he is ahead in the key swing states.
If he does win, it might be a rather uneasy phone call to Downing Street.
Harris/Democrats’ overall popularity isn’t the issue. Like here, it’s the distribution of that popularity that matters. Trump didn’t even beat Clinton in 2016 in the popular vote.
I wonder if Trump’s shortening is also an indication of how the postal voting is going. I wouldn’t be surprised if that information makes it into the market one way or another.
I see Biden has described Trump’s supporters as “garbage”.
Way to go, Joe! You are not even standing but have probably ensured Trump is on his way back to the White House after that remark.
It is Hilary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment all over again. These self-righteous Democrats never learn.
Trump now 4/9 with plenty of firms.

A huge number of votes have already been completed via post …let’s hope Trump doesn’t pull his old tricks again if he ends up losing a close call …
MAGA camp already pre-empting the result denying in the event of a loss. This will be very, very messy if he does.
The fact is, it’s far from a done deal either way and nothing is settled until the votes are counted.
This is supposed to be one of the world’s great democracies? Imagine what the Americans would be saying if an election like this took place in a third world country. Ridiculous.
Agree, it could take weeks for the result to be know. A bit like in this country – in the 19th century.
Many of the channels advertising their all night coverage, I’d be surprised if there’s anywhere near a clear result by morning.
It has to be close unless polls are wildly wrong which I suppose is possible, it seems like the sort of election that will bring those out who might not otherwise have and could throw a spanner in the pollsters’ works.
I thought that too, when I saw Channel 4’s advert. I very much doubt they are going to get a result on the night. Not much point in watching the coverage.
With Coral’s
Trump 4/5.
Harris 11/10.
Close indeed. Suspect there may be many ‘recounts’!Will only take a small swing for either candidate to win all 7 states (maybe 8? Iowa?) decisively, in which case the winner would be clear that night.
More hopeful than 1 weeks ago, but win or lose, the support Trump receives will always be a stain on the USA.
