[Politics] Joe Biden vs Donald Trump *** Official Match Thread ***

[Ethelwulf]

I do not understand the exchange market. Why is Trump gone back down to 5.5 from 6.8 out of no where ?

Could have made a fortune but was too busy watching the news and playing STFC.

Same. When biden was at over 3's I knew I should lump on but it was so late and I was a bit lazy.

Watching CNN. The software that they've got running on that giant touchscreen and the guy using it are absolutely fantastic.

That's the coverage I've been watching. It did get a bit tedious last night when he spent about 2 hours continuously clicking into all the counties in Florida to see if the count had changed. It looks like they've switched to a new guy this morning (I guess he needed to sleep at some point).

270 ... but that's still a win

I think the difference there is the one seat from (the five in) Nebraska that Biden gained.

I was saying the same to [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] when we met for coffee this morning.

Makes the touchscreens used for our elections looks like one of those really old-tech unresponsive touchscreens from the pre-iPad era.

They've been my go-to all last night and today. Clarity of numbers and succinct, punchy analysis. I wafted around a few UK/US news channels for a while, but kept coming back to CNN, clearly head and shoulders above the rest.

Hate to admit it but Kay Burley was actually quite good on Sky News.

I love how you manage to shoehorn in an Apple reference Bozza. [emoji23]

47 all in the Senate right now (Sauce : NYT)

Interesting. Do you -- or anyone else -- know which are the remaining Senate states to declare?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Sounds like the Republicans have already had numerous claims/suits kicked out of court. This is been going on all week, not clear how many in various states but it’s in the tens.

Listened to LBC briefly at lunchtime they had very little handle of what is going on. The crew on CNN are bloody sharp at crunching numbers when they come in

Maine, Michigan, North Carolina?

Trump having quite the paddy on Twitter at the moment. Marvellous scenes. I wish nothing but ill towards him, his cronies and his lunatic apologists.

I''ll take your word for it. She makes me want to hurt things.

Probably because punters think that the latter number looks like good odds. Both are indicating that a Trump victory is highly unlikely.
Odds move all over the place. I got 15/8 on Biden at about 8 this morning. They subsequently went to 9/4. Now it's 1/5.

Same here, she's a complete monotone div.

Thanks Buddy .Knew I should of placed a bet on Biden earlier on.

Ta, but the question mark indicates that you're unsure.

 

[dingodan]

I think Biden is a sleazy, corrupt Washington politician and I think he'll be a sh*t President.

But unless things radically change it also looks to me like he's probably won, and assuming that things pan out that way Trump needs to stfu and gtfo.

It's better than that. Apparently he had a massive hissy fit last night when the votes started coming in, and that's what caused his overblown speech at about 05.30GMT. The loser.

I think there is a very good chance he will pass away before the 4 years are out meaning we would get the first female president.
