Michelle.

Nope. There is ONE thing surely learned from this?

Michelle.

No. Probably not Michelle. Smart of her not to run. Barrack would have had a slight chance. But hed have been running against an economic, immigration and cultural headwind.

As much as it was ignored here, the Issues were always 4 - 1.in favor of Trump.
Economy, Immigration, incumbency and foreign Policy were all pro Trump. And Abortion was Pro Harris.

She was always going up against a headwind. And she was probably the worst public speaker since Walter Mondale.

A Harris win would have been the greatest surprise.

Trump win highly likely
Trump Landslide less likely
Harris win possible but not likely.
Harris landslide was just not on the cards.

WW3 started with 9/11.

WW2 probably never ended to be fair.

Or WW3 began immediately afterwards and is still going in a sense.

Or did that end with the fail of the USSR and now we are in WW4.

I don't know but I do feel like the US was so brainwashed over generations about what Patriotism is and what America is that they ignore their very real challenges as a nation. They seem so have no real interest in coming together as one people.

Who knows what the US picture will look like in 4 years.

The only certainty is that eggs and “gas” will be more expensive than they are now.

Has there been any reason given for the vote turnout?

Currently:
81m-74m last time (wikipedia)
66-71 so far this time (from Google).

I read somewhere it was due to fewer people voting ....

:)

RFK jr in charge of healthcare. Elon Musk regulating himself. what could go wrong?

A bright future I'm sure.

True. "Michelle" was a forlorn comment. But at least she wouldn't have had the weight of being Biden's VP round her neck. And she IS a far better speaker.

If this was all about gas, no wonder someone called Trump......I'll get me coat

This was the problem with the Harris campaign. They only spoke about Trump. Just like everyone left leaning.

I've seen this repeated a lot today. It's simply not true.
