I said the same thing in this thread 2 or so weeks ago.
I just cannot believe it. It's appalling.
It's appalling because it is tearing the country apart. Turning one side against the other.
Hatred and resentment is building.
I fear the consequences.

There's an established school of thought that larger turnouts benefit the Democrats, the acceptance of this is evident in GOP actions over the years that are easily interpreted as being primarily designed to suppress voter turnout, particularly in urban areas. Simply by making it harder to vote. There's been plenty of action on that front this cycle, with numerous legal challenges to changes that have made voting easier.

Now what i thinks interesting about that is that Trump's greatest strength has been his ability to engage voters through his behaviour, not just his fans, but indeed those that oppose him.

And here we are, with predictions that this election will see the greatest voter turnout in decades, with over 100 million votes cast pre polling day. Which is a record in it's self. There's no denying voter engagement is incredibly high, and I think it's difficult to argue that isn't nearly all because of Trump

So if it holds true that greater turnout favours the Democrats, and that the Donald is the primary cause of greater turnout, then it follows that his greatest strength will be the cause of his downfall.

Oh the ironing.

I think it's fair to say he is great for democracy.

Actually you may have noticed that Chyna has taken offence to us becoming USA errand boy and banned AU imports of nearly everything. Not going to help us claw our way out of the recession doldrums is it ?

China is actively interfering in our democracy and when we push back they actively interfere in our economy. You shouldn't be clapping them just because they're putting pressure on the government you didn't vote for.

When you introduce your dead son as your grand daughter, think your opponent is George Bush, want to introduce significant tax increases and basically seem unable to handle questions without a script of teleprompter, voters look again

Not a choice most here would want to make , unless you were a mad leftie, but that’s the state of politics in the USA
