Can’t wait to see all the Hollywood big wigs and music artists/celebrities go to ground in about 36 hours time when Trump is up given a victory speech. Will they all flee to Canada?

George Brandis wrote the op-ed in the SMH. It has nothing to do with Hugh Rimmington.

Gee, you defend anything that resembles a leftie comment. I met Rimmington at a book signing at Castle Towers, questioned him on why his comments on 10 news were left centric. He just said , that’s who I am , I told him that’s why no one watches 10 anymore .

In Iowa at the moment Trump is $1.23 and Harris $4.80. Ann Selzer is a genius if she gets Iowa right.

They said the same in 2016 and 2020....similar odds against what her poll was suggesting....polls in Kansas, have some similar data...

You should have asked him for Sandra Sully's number...

Met her at a corporate function she is really nice and chatty. But tiny .

If no-one watches 10, how do they know that they are left centric?

From what I have seen here, Gronk is a classic example of "other" politics.

Anything that is perceived as alternative or a departure from the mainstream or "conservative" approach, he will vehemently defend, as it makes him feel smarter and "better" than other people - and he can sate his "white guilt" (even if he isn't white).

Mind you, it's my experience that these types of lefties are also compensating for their lack of actual generosity in real life, so their strident politics allows them to feel like they are helping someone - thus reinforcing the sense of being "better" or a "good person".

I think I have a secret admirer.

Prediction....

3-4 weeks ago, Trump was getting on top, and had momentum....it was his to lose. Last 2 weeks or so, he has been bat shit crazy...

Harris closing strongly

Now it is leaning towards Harris...

the wild card is that the Dobbs decision could really bring out the female vote for Harris...

Selzer poll, is showing the "hidden" vote. Another pollster even said yesterday, he thinks his polls could be slightly wrong against Harris (hasn't taken into consideration female vote etc)

I say Harris wins....with something like 280-300

still close but, it's only a small percentage that will decide the 7 swing states (or 8 with Iowa)

I think Trump wins but if I was a betting man I'd back Harris @$2.40. it's a flip of the coin

Think Harris might have it but who knows? All comes down to Pennsylvania....

It did, but latest polls show Harris, "potentially" up in NC and G, ....if so she may have a second pathway to victory if she lost there....

I didn't know that - where is that reported?

I don't think anyone need to be "called on" to spam you - that invitation comes from your own posts as we have all seen on a daily basis.

It is a rare sight that only occurs for a few week period every 4 years when grown men pretend to be experts on both horse racing and the US electoral system

Kamala will win. They'll dodge it up for sure.

 

[Avenger]

If Harris wins, the USA will implode, and we’ll see outright anarchy in the streets. If Trump wins (and he will), those self-righteous Hollywood elites, so desperate to stay relevant, will be left speechless, fading into obscurity where they belong.
