I am just as ignorant of most of the system as everyone else, I just know a handful of 'big things'.
The latest thing I've learned is Mitch McConnell basically a real-life supervillain. It sounds like he has found a way to consolidate power and built a system that comes to gridlock. Almost like death by a thousand cuts, the man was playing 3D chess while everyone else fought over which colour tie to follow into battle.
There’s an American guy on BBC news 24, talking about “Keys” which I didn’t really understand. Anyway he uses these keys to predict elections results, and called Trump winning in 2016 right - he reckoned that ANY republican would’ve won that election. He reckons that Trump actually appeals to a very low voter base, he doesn’t have the widespread appeal of a Reagan type.
He doesn’t think Trump will do it this time which backs up the polls and the odds, due to Trump being the incumbent and resorting to the 2016 playbook won’t work this time round.
Not at odds with the posts in here of course but hearing it from the other side of the pond I guess is reassuring.
Trump being a total prick, again...
The bookies have him at more than 2/1 to win a two horse race. It's over.
I suspect that there will be a very strong swing against Trump. The Democrats might sweep the boards.
The question is, will the Democrats break with precedent and go after him for all of the corruption etc while in office?
“the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter.”
What??!!?
