I think in the real deal space, both candidates are not dumb. I get that sides are taken and therefore insults are thrown, then mud sticks. However both candidates could not have achieved what they have in life without having significant intelligence.

Personally I don’t like the politics of one. I also don’t particularly like the personality of that same person.

Worst candidates ? It’s complicated over there, because it’s VERY expensive to be POTUS candidate.
If we take into account the cost of electing a U.S. president we could run OZ on wind farms and solar panels for 10 years.

Or the cost of 50% of one Dutton nuclear reactor that will take 10 years to be planned before a spade hits the dirt.

It wasn’t great for Harris, patronising entitled bullshite while the Trump thing turned into some kind of sicko kkk hate fest.

Extremist nonsense full of emotional hysterical clap trap.

The more this horror sow drags on, the more power I want to cede to the deep state!

Trump is going to win. Harris f**ked it.
Unsure if Harris f**ked it. She has only been campaigning for short time and has actually taken the polls to neck to neck.

As I said before, it’s very hard to get re-elected in a post inflation environment. People feel the cost of living pressures and feel that change is the only way forward. Notwithstanding the candidates credentials.

In the USA elections are won by motivating a centre base, the undecided, to actually vote. Biden won because they got off their arse and voted. What the polls are predicting and the pundits are suggesting, is that the voters crucial to a Harris victory are frozen in indecision, so just won’t vote. That woukd result in a change in government. Because Trump voters are more than likey to stand in line for two hours on a Tuesday and vote. Such a stupid system.

The swing states are Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The rest don’t matter. Some have those as tilt red and some polls have those as tilt blue.

I trust the Poll Bludger and he says that it’s currently Trump 48.5 / Harris 47.6.

Don’t think she’ll get close.
The margin of win is irrelevant under the electoral college system. Whoever wins Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania wins all of the 50 votes on offer.

So in Pennsylvania, there are 19 seats (votes) on offer. If Harris wins 10 seats, she gets all 19. That’s how their system works.

Likewise, you win the crucial majority 26 seats across Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania then that lands you all 50 in the race to become president.

Biden helped f**k it when he called Trump supporters 'garbage'. What a silly old merkin.
A dopey silly senile old merkin who was apparently fit to run the free world up till recently.

Her team have also called Joe Rogan irrelevant lol, like him or loathe him he is a lot of things but not irrelevant. He has the biggest podcast in the world and his views would make the MSM blush.

JD Vance has hoped straight in and taken her place lol. Trump got around 40 million views so Vance will probably get over 10 million. Irrelevant lol.

If Kamala was so good she would have been put up to replace Biden 2 years ago.

The fact they continued on with the senile old merkin in Biden until it became untenable was as much about Harris being incompetent as Biden making a fool of himself on a daily basis.
