This should have been a walk in the park for Biden. Why is it turning into such a close race? He's been rubbished by a SECTION of the media not all by a country mile. Blue collar workers get to keep their guns. He'll also corner the racist and sexist vote. And the nutty Christian right who want to have more say on women's bodies than they do. And rich people, or people who think they'll be rich. He lost the Cuban vote in Florida because they equate socialism with Castro's communism. And idiots, let's not forget them. Their vote counts as much as the most learned professor. The ones that think that celebrities are abducting children and drinking their blood. Those people hold down jobs and are allowed to vote. And vote they will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Biden will be 78 if he becomes president. Now I think anyone that age is no doubt slowing down, mentally and physically. For someone who will be running the country and travelling around the world for summits and meetings, well it ain't gonna be easy. Let's hope dementia doesn't kick in.

If it does - for either candidate - let's hope the VP takes the reigns and the incumbent let's them. I suspect trump wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how it will affect this country who wins the presidency, but it’s the American people who decide. If Trump loses he still remains in the job for a few more months. It will be interesting to see what he does in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 "I've won! I've won! What's that? I haven't?! I maybe haven't won?! Foul play! He's cheated! I want to win! Me! I've won! It's my party - I've won!" ...cried my 6 year old on his birthday when he lost a game of draughts to his older brother. Was it ever thus....

Not really much difference. You would have hoped that the US might have done better than two ancient white, middle class men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an important point and aspect to US politics behind your post in jest: for so many Americans, politics is all about 'The Big Win', like so many other facets of their ultra-competitive society and culture. It isn't enough to win, the opponents have to be vanquished. At a personal level, that boils down to wanting to belong to the winning team, irrespective of what the game is about and how it's meant to be played. Trump's campaign and communications were always playing on this cultural trait, and still do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read if Democrats had a young lively nominee it would have been a landslide victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
