I've decided, I'm not voting for either of 'em.

[tonyav]

Neither am I, Mamya.

[emmie]

I vote for Jed Bartlett, only he is a figment of someone's fervid imagination. West Wing the programme has a lot to answer for

Martin Sheen is too old to run, but he would have made a delightful President.

A havent watched much but if you can see there biassed then so can allmost every one else (unless you know allmost every one else is gullible and your not). If it's obvious then there acheiving allmost nothing. You could try sky or fox news? Or watch your favourite YouTube channel.

they ought to change the constitution to min 35 (not 40) and max at entry first time of 67. Keeling over in office is not a good idea, after all.

[ichkeria]

I don’t agree at all.
Provide specific evidence: otherwise it just sounds like the usual moan. With racist/sexist dog whistle included.
There was an interesting piece on the website about a lifelong Democrat who’s now switching to Trump having voted Clinton last time.
And there are numerous visits to and interviews from Trump country.

“ Keeling over in office is not a good idea, after all”

There is absolutely no suggestion that Joe Biden will “keel over” in office.
His mum lived to be 93, his dad to 87, so he had longevity in his genes.
There’s no particular history of presidents dying in office anyway. Biden would certainly be a record breaker (beating Trump’s record) but entering the Oval Office seems to a prelude to becoming a nonagenarian, if nothing else, if you look at Ford, Bush snr, Carter etc in recent times.

Ive already voted Trump - by post! who said it was bent?

Trump did :-/

It doesn't follow that they were capable though. If Biden succeeds I don't think he'll be in the White House for long before stepping down in favour of his second.

They’re trying to sway the Mildenhall vote.

09.52, I almost said,don't be stupid Naomi , but that would be pointless.

At the last UK general election we were told by some polls that magic grandpa was heading for number 10 !

These elections have become so divisive that most of the silent majority keep quiet & just vote - Trump will win, I have no doubts

[ichkeria]

As I’ve said before, Biden has been trying for the presidency for 30 plus years.
On a personal level, why would he step down a year or so after taking office? That makes no sense.
Politically it makes little sense either: Kamala Harris would be an unelected president and you can be sure the mid to far right wing of American opinion would not be slow to mouth the appalling conspiracy theory that it was all a plot to install a blank woman shock horror in the White (note) House

You obviously didn’t see his portrayal of the US President in The Dead Zone with Christopher Walken.

[youngmafbog]

If you ask me they are both too old.

Out of 328 million why couldn't they find two people quite a bit younger and much better that these two?

[ichkeria]

“ These elections have become so divisive that most of the silent majority keep quiet & just vote - Trump will win, I have no doubts”

It’s very different this time. The polls are much worse for Trump for one thing. Clinton never got close to the figures Biden has been getting consistently. Trump is no longer the outsider people are willing to give a chance.
Biden is not the divisive candidate - crucially among Democrats voters - that Clinton was. Many abstained last time. Trump’s support among older people has also unsurprisingly collapsed.
The “silent majority” is not, nor has it ever been, some mythical Trumpian, apologistic constituency. If anything the silent majority are the younger potentially democrat voters who don’t often vote. Why else would the Biden campaign be urging people simply to vote while the Trump campaign continually complaints about voting irregularity, and worse, suggesting “patrolling” of polling systems by God knows who? The larger the turnout the more that’s likely to go against Trump, and with more than half the numbers of 2016 having already cast their vote ...

This isn't true, though. The last polls that showed any kind of Labour lead, prior to the 2019 election, were in July, when Boris Johnson had been PM for about three days. Before then, there was a two-month period where LibDems, The Brexit Party, Labour and the Tories had all led at some point -- which is actually quite reasonable, considering the chaos at the time. After that, there was a period of polling that saw the Tory lead steadily increase, so that by the time of the election, the polling average was something like a 10-point lead for the Tories, which matched the election result fairly well.

Why not stick to a factual reason to be dubious of polling, rather than a made-up one? You could, for example, cite the 2016 US election -- although, even then, the scale of the polling error has been greatly exaggerated.

jim; YouGov put Corbyn ahead by 1-3 points. I didn't make it up!
