He just adds another personal level of bias, to the already biased polls.

 

He's right, until he is wrong.

"Final Election Update: There’s A Wide Range Of Outcomes, And Most Of Them Come Up Clinton

Throughout the election, our forecast models have consistently come to two conclusions. First, that Hillary Clinton was more likely than not to become the next president. And second, that the range of possible Electoral College outcomes — including the chance of a Donald Trump victory, but also a Clinton landslide that could see her winning states such as Arizona — was comparatively wide......

 

.....That remains our outlook today in our final forecast of the year. Clinton is a 71 percent favorite to win the election according to our polls-only model and a 72 percent favorite according to our polls-plus model. (The models are essentially the same at this point, so they show about the same forecast.) This reflects a meaningful improvement for Clinton in the past 48 hours as the news cycle has taken a final half-twist in her favor. Her chances have increased from about 65 percent.

 

Nonetheless, Clinton is probably going to win, and she could win by a big margin".

 

Sure, Nate, sure!

 

Lol

 

Errm, so Trump now Clinton and 2016, any chance you could mention Biden?

We have over 3 million Muslims in this country imposing their culture  instead of integrating and assimilating, and our capital city has a Muslim mayor.

Did you proofread your own post?

 

London having a Muslim mayor is a perfect example of Muslims integrating into society.

So if Hitler had become boss of Britain, would that have meant he'd integrated? Building huge mosques that dominate the landscape as a symbol of Islamic domination, opening halal slaughterhouses and butchers, forcing women to walk around wearing made to measure symbolic prisons, driving a teacher into hiding for fear of being beheaded for showing satirical cartoons to his class and harassing a politician on the streets for supporting LGBTQ rights aren't my idea of integrating. London having a Muslim mayor is a perfect example of how they're slowly but steadily taking over.

he's been busy scoffing all the pies (he put on rather a lot of weight recently)

Is that even possible.

The fundamental here is that the man in charge (Biden, Johnson, whoever) will never step before a microphone and admit that they got anything wrong. Their spin doctors will clutch at any item of good news and claim credit, if they have to reveal a setback, then blame it on anyone but themselves.

 

Biden has problems, whether overseas such as Afghanistan - where he is playing for time in the hope that it will go away - or the influence of China which is outside his control, or inside the USA with issues such as gun control and changes to the law on abortions. Viewed from afar I fear the latter will have no happy ending. Another thread perhaps.

 

But Biden would gain a lot of respect if he were more candid.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked before, but, given the agreement to withdraw was made before he took office, what do people think he should have done?

Biden is not an absolute ruler, though at least one previous incumbent tried to change that.  The american system deliberately limits the  power of the President, particularly on internal issues. 

 

The President has no real power to do anything about either gun control or abortion other than make speeches.

Biden should have kept faith with US allies in Afghanistan. Wars never go as the belligerents expect so one should avoid getting into them unless absolutely necessary. Going to war in Afghanistan ought to have been recognised as a fairly open ended commitment and therefore should not have been lightly undertaken. For the US's Afghan allies the war was not in any way optional therefore the US should not have treated it as optional. Ffs, the Afghan government wasn't even represented at Doha where the agreement was made.
