Donald Trump

I see you’ve noticed MSC hasn’t been in lately and feel the void needs to be filled. ;-)

Somebody has to do the job and I was bored on the bus on the way home from work.

It’s obvious you have carefully studied his psyche and method.

I applaud your commitment to the role and your execution!

Pennsylvania could be the decider

Harris and Trump running up the Rocky steps could be fun - first to the top wins.

Possibly fatal though in Trump's case.

Possibly?

He’d likely trip and curb stomp himself trying to get out of the limo.

I gave up a long time ago in here Seb.
The American election debates, if you could call them that, at times, verge on the ridiculous.
I get exasperated and yet amazed by the patience initially shown by certain fellow members in here, of the American persuasion. Because it always ends with repetitive pointing out of the bloody obvious to people who whether they wumming or not, have no intention of conceding the simple fact that I made clear months back.

Trump is barely eligible to perform the role of human, never mind President of the USA.

He’s a gobshite too. Look up the word in the Oxford English Dictionary. There’s simply a picture of him in the explanation.

If he wins tomorrow keep an eye open for the Irish News. I’m hiring a tractor and driving down to his Doonbeg golf course to dig it up.
In protest, you realise.

It’s worth noting that even if Trump wins the election, it is likely that more people will have voted for Harris than for Trump (Republican presidential candidates have only won the popular vote once since 1988, and that was in 2004).

So I am not sure you could say America, as a whole, would deserve him.

That's the way the "first past the post" system works, unfortunately. It's by no means fair. Look at the last election in the UK. From memory, Labour got, from memory, around 35-40% (?) of the vote, but got a massive majority of seats. The majority of people who bothered to vote, didn't vote for them. Are they worried about that? No, of course not. And you can't blame them. Same with the Republicans over yonder.

Typical Harris supporter, making death threats and lowering the discourse ;-)

I’ve actually spoken about both the nature and implications of FPTP in the UK and the Republican’s reliance on the electoral college (and gerrymandering) in the US in various threads in the Politics Forum, so I know the debate well.

I was merely pointing out that I don’t think it is fair to say “America deserve Trump if he wins” when more people are likely to have voted for Harris than Trump regardless of the election result.

Fair point.

Yes, iirc in terms of actual votes cast starmers landslide win was not much better than the collapse under Corbyn in the previous GE.
