    I’ll pick up on this one:
    He’s portrayed as a racist, because he’s a racist. I’ve never heard he doesn’t like Jewish people, in fact the only time I recall a quote where he mentioned Jewish people was when he had bought a company with a black accountant, his reaction was ‘get rid of him, I don’t want a ***** near my money, we have Jews for that’.

    BTW that’s quite a common attitude in the States, if you want to understand why there’s so many Jews working in the financial sector; racial profiling at its finest.

    Been watching the Trump Show on BBC TV. A lot of what Trump does and says is apparently
    deliberately planned to come over as " off the wall". One of his advisors has apparently told him that down the
    ages, the great leaders of various nations have been mentally " unhinged", plus he once
    read a book on positive thinking and he believes that if you think bad things will never happen,
    they won't.

    One of the people who have also observed him at close quarters, also said that as far as decision making
    is concerned he's truly believes he's infallible ( like the Pope). There is a bizarre ritual they conduct in the
    Oval Office that made me chuckle. Up to ten delegates all put their hands on Trump and thank the Lord
    for how he is guiding the President.

    Looking at the opinion polls and the way that Biden is conducting his campaign, the poll experts
    say it's going to be a close run thing and that is why Trump is smearing the Biden family over
    alleged illegal money making deals with the Ukrainians. It will be interesting to see whether or not
    Trump can at the eleventh hour convince the electorate he deserves four more years. He certainly
    is coming out with some desperate claims re- saying an effective vaccine against Covid is weeks
    away from being available.

    He will win the electoral college comfortably.

    It's looking unlikely at the present, but it's certainly not out of the question I suppose.

    Would love to know what makes you so confident.

    Is it the fact that all the polls have been consistently solid Biden the entire election cycle?

    The fact that there was a shift to the democrats from 2016 to 2018 in the house elections?

    If you’re so confident why not put your money where your mouth is? You can treble your money by betting on Trump. If it’s 100% certain, surely you’ll remortgage your house and make a fortune? (To be clear I’m not saying you should do that, it would be beyond stupid). You can get 5/6 odds that Trump will win 220 electoral college votes or more. Surely if he’s 100% going to win over 270, that’s the easiest bet in history? Just about doubling your money.

    You can get 8/1 odds on Trump getting 350 electoral college votes or more. If it’s going to be such a landslide, that’s an easy bet isn’t it?

    Or could it be that you talk a big talk but in reality you don’t actually believe what you write?

    I’m confident it will be a comfortable Trump victory and I’ve got £155 on Trump at 2/1

    Pre-pandemic I might have predicted a Trump landslide, however I'll still be surprised if he doesn't win with something to spare.

    The Republicans might even take the house too, providing they can keep the usual Democrat voter fraud under control.

    I hate the Republicans and the Democrats equally, but the Republicans have far more gerrymandered districts in terms of the House, and their governors (eg in Georgia) are actively trying to stop folk from voting who aren't likely to vote for Trump.

    I’m not particularly a fan of Trump but there is so much evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption involving the Chinese Communist Party and Ukrainian Government starting to surface that I suspect the DNC will have no option but to pull Biden out of the race before the Election.

    Of course you won’t hear any of this through the mainstream media outlets who are doing their level best to suppress the information but it doesn’t take much searching to find the evidence for yourself.

    Genuinely confused by some Tarn fans getting massively partisan over a US election.

    Are you all on QAnon groups on Facebook?

    I wouldn’t consider myself in any way partisan because I’ve never held a political bias here or in the US. I’ve simply placed a bet on Trump because I believe he will win and there is a good return to be made if I’m right.

    Do you not see the hypocrisy here? You're telling people to throw away certain media information because of their agenda but then pointing toward one of the most biased platforms in the USA and saying "ignore what i've just said and consider this"

    I do find it interesting how in this country we’re quick to label the media biased, mainly because we think they’re supporting the opposition as we see it. But the same people look over at the US and don’t believe the bias is there when it’s far worse.

    Trump brings a lot of it on himself, but imagine if Corbyn was so forthright about what the media made up about him and challenged it in a similar way? Called them out for what they are when they lie. The ‘Fake News’ mantra is used to often now, but it has been proven time and time again the last three years and drives support that might not have been there.

    I think Biden would be an absolute shoe-in for the landslide win if the media played fair and reported news and facts rather than feeling like they have to take on the President at every turn. It’s a far more biased media sector over there than we have over here. Night and day in comparison.

    I’m simply suggesting that you switch off media bias and consider the validity of source information in itself. Make up your own mind what to think rather than simply swallowing what you are spoon fed by whichever media corporation you choose to listen to. Or don’t..... whatever you choose to do or believe or not believe is your own personal choice. Time will ultimately prove you to be wrong or right
