I had my best Trump experience ever. I didn't watch.





Trump crowned? No faux King way!

Rikkitic:

 

Biden could be better, but he hasn't suffered any disasters. People aren't voting for him because he is inspirational. They are voting for him because he is not Trump. Mickey Mouse could win this election.

 

 

That's what everyone said in 2016. Putting personal preferences and previous knowledge of Trump aside, based solely on this debate I don't know that I would declare either a clear winner.

All the polls we see would refer to the popularity vote.
Correct me if wrong, but if Trump wins the electoral college like he did last time, he wins.

I have seen numerous analyses on different news sites of the electoral college vote. None completely rule out the possibility of a Trump win, but all agree that current odds are overwhelmingly in favour of Biden. Naturally anything can still happen but Biden's chances look pretty good.

Pope Francis called the Trump administration policy of separating children at the border “cruelty of the highest form” in a new documentary that premiered in Rome today.

 

“It’s cruelty, and separating kids from parents goes against natural rights,” the pope says in the documentary “Francesco.” “It’s something a Christian cannot do. It’s cruelty of the highest form.”

 

 

Of course it is cruel - that's why they're doing it.

Debate's over. Summary: No major gaffes by Biden, Trump running on empty.

One of those crazy questions just popped into my head. Does anyone know what would happen if Biden won the election on November 3, then had a fatal heart attack on November 4? Would Kamala Harris be sworn in? Would a new election occur? Would Trump stay on? What is the procedure for such a thing?

Again don't want to jinx it, but a large turnout favours the Democrats and Biden. Here's a typical "Florida Man"

The 20th US amendment covers this, but it's language is a little confusing.

Kamala, the Vice-President-elect, becomes President.

I believe she would become the President. 538 did something about this a while ago (before Biden picked her):

In 2016 people weren't happy. Along comes a non politician who will clean the swamp. Great strategy, it worked in the rust belt. NOW, he is part of the swamp, very different times.
